Are there any dirt bike tracks in bowie maryland?
That and the fact that the "young, inexperienced riders" think that doing 110 on the expressway is cool.What would you buy; A Sports bike (crotch rcket etc) or Harley?
you got it..speed racer zinging in and out of traffic.going to fast in turns etc.How do you change the oil in a honda recon fourwheeler?
a lot of the time yes, it is no experience that will cause accidents. that and anybody who rides a harley or indian or chopper knows to yield to the bigger vehicle.also sport bikes have a tendacy to be not stabile at low speeds but stable at high speeds because of the way they sit and that might cause a problem when jamming the brakes enough to lock up the tires, because you're more likely to be thrown off on a crotch rocket than a cruiser
Who has rode a 2007 Yamaha R-1 that has the NEW " Throttle by wire" ??
I think it would be more accurate to say that 'crotch rocket' accidents due to driver error on the part of the crotch rocket owner outnumber those than others - due to youth, inexperience, speed, the overall daredevil attitude (and yet, every Wednesday night in the summer, I find myself perched on the back of one). I think a bigger problem overall with motorcycles has to do with the fact that people just don't see motorcycles. Seems that's what causes a lot of accidents in my area (heck, a year or two ago, some old man had hit (and killed) his second motorcyclist). This is how my aunt was nearly killed - she was riding behind my uncle and his friend(who were riding side by side) and after they went past a 16-year-old girl pulled out in front of my aunt...not good...my aunt is pretty much screwed up for life. The only thing that came out of that, is my 15 year old cousin ended up with a brand new Harley has they had already ordered my aunt's second bike at the time of the accident.What do I have to do to become an Apprentice in building Custom Motorcycles?
I agree with allWhat is the proper tires inflation for 2004 Honda Valkyrie Rune?
I think it's mostly that riders (experienced or not) think they're on a race track and ride to fast not thinking about the consequences - road conditions, automobiles sharing the road, blind spots, etc.I'd have to say I agree with Suni the most. I'm not sure if your statement is statistically correct as you state no source.
If you take out the type of bike.. and just look at accidents instead, you will see that most fatal (single vehicle) accidents occur due to rider inexperience or rider error, as well as high speed, not wearing a helmet, and alcohol is also a LARGE factor.
There is also a spike in deaths for operators in their 40's. I'd say this is due to the recent chopper craze.
Fact is that motorcycles are dangerous. It is way to easy to get a motorcycle license. We should follow some of the practices used in europe.. forcing younger riders to only ride small displacement bikes. Motorcycle safety courses should also be a requirement in order to get a license.
The best way to do a wheelie on a 2004 gsxr 600?
I've been riding sport bikes for many years now and feel that they are MUCH safer than cruisers or choppers. Sport bikes can react quicker and stop faster. The problem is that for $8,000 you can buy a bike that can leave a dodge Viper in your dust. That's tempting to many younger riders (who are more prone to be speed freaks) to go out and buy them.
Get educated, ride safe, and wear your gear. I know it's annoying when you see some punk kid race past you on the highway going over 100mph... but that doesnt mean that they deserve to die.
I would link it to 2 issues. #1, Sport bike riders (like myself) bought the bike because we enjoy the speed and power-to-weight ratios. Its an adrenalin rush. Some riders stop thinking about the dangers of riding and think they are never going to get into an accident, that is usually the time it happens to them.
#2. STUPID DRIVERs not paying attention to their driving and their surroundings, not checking mirrors, and drivers that know you are there, know you are comming, and still pull in front of you at the worst moment (fullerton, ca). Some drivers are jealous that we can cut through traffic and they cut us off.
Which is faster, a yamaha blaster or a honda 400.?
First, I'm not sure that your allegation is correct.'94 535 yamaha virago A good bike?
But what I can tell you is that sport bikes are both easier and more difficult to ride.
This is because they are so very responsive; it's like you BECOME the bike when you ride one.
Which is faster a Cr 250 or a KX 250 , the same year?
If your driving skills aren't what they should be, you can easily get into trouble. They're much less forgiving of driver error.
There's nothing wrong with youth. There are TONS of young riders out there who are much better drivers than I am at 41. Inexperience could certainly be a factor though.
Iwant to ship my bike to newfoundland from toronto to arrive the same time i vacation there.?
That is not a true statement. Most accidents are involving 40-50 year old riders and they are not on sport bikes.So here is my opinion on preventing accidents -
Where do you buy your leather riding clothes? Does the quality and service meet your expectations?
Sport bike accidents are common and it is always rider error; but that applies to all bikes. Even when a car pulls out it is still rider error. If you want to stay a rider for a long time you will realize it is your responsibility to look for cars and not cars fault or problem when they don’t see you. Cars are bigger and therefore have the right of way period. (you can argue right of way from the hospital or grave)
The case of my motorcycle headlyt has a small crack, what adhesive is good?any remedies?pls help.!?
As for sport bike accidents and deaths I believe many people do not get proper training and develop the wrong attitude toward riding. Many (young folks and inexperienced riders) think speed is gained by having enough nerve to go fast and adrenalin indicates they are going fast. These are far from true. Skill, technique, knowledge, and natural ability make riders fast. I have seen many riders crash because they followed a skilled rider thinking they could keep up. My advice to all is keep the ego at home and learn the skills and you will get faster. Take track days schools and learn from guys who are actually fast not guys who are stupid fast.
being young does not mean you are slow by any means. I was whooped on the track last week by a 16 year old and I don't get beat by many people. Being young usually is tied to feeling invincible and therefore younger folks make bad decisions sometimes. I know I did.
yes - and the way they ride these things - they think just becuase the speedo says 120 - thye should ride that fast! not smart
What bike model should i start with im a beginer?
We can crunch #s all day and we all have different answers. I ride Jap bikes for 20years and had my share of accidents "my fault and not" But I know in a few years I will retire from jap bikes and move on to Harleys and I know my speed will decraese considerably for one reason only. You cannot wear a full face helmet on a Harley unless you want to look like pee wee herman. So slow down or eat flys and skin against asphalt is not fun. I love riding and plan to do it forever like most of you on this board. Just becareful and enjoy every moment.anyone can bang thru the gears and go fast...but most younger riders atracted to these bikes don't have the experience to plan ahead for safe stopping...
