#95 Don't Race Sportbikes on the Street

Two bikers slam into wall in San Jose, die

Two riders possibly racing end up crashing into a wall and both die.

This should be self explanatory but morons and horsepower aren't a great combination. A sportbike is capable of speed above 150 without any trouble. They also have very little in the way of protection.

I don't know if these two were experienced riders and something went catastrophically wrong or whether they were, what regular bikers call, squid.

Not unlike the kid who rammed his bike into the back of a car on Highway 17 this weekend and caught the hillside on fire and backed up traffic for hours. Woops.

Rule #95 is Don't Race Sportbikes on the Street
