Moto Poll: Are You a Two-Wheeled Exhibitionist?
A recent news item on telegraph.co.uk recounts the travails of a ZX-10R rider-- aptly described as "mindless and arrogant" (dontcha just love the British?!)-- who posted a 189 mph run on YouTube. The feat, allegedly the highest speed recorded on a British road, makes the would-be Darwin Award recipient the Paris Hilton of motorcycling; a dubious distinction, indeed.
Which leads me to my next question: Are you a two-wheeled exhibitionist? Click below to express your propensity for publicity.
1. I'm an attention hound, and want my motorcycle hijinks broadcast for the world to see.
2. I won't photograph myself, but if somebody catches me in the act they can do as they please with the footage.
3. No way will my exploits become public knowledge; what happens on the road stays on the road.

I bet this is one of those people who says “I’m a great rider and I can handle the speed”. It’s that type of attitude that kills innocent bystanders.
I take the approach that maybe I’m not such a great rider or driver, so I’d better be damn careful out there on the road.
this is the idiot that hurts innocent people. take it to the track!!
This guys an idiot! Will this get censored like when i critized someone for admitting they rode while blasting an ipod…? Where are all the “lols” for this guy or is he not cute enough…?
What a complete idiot! This, along with the 1 percenters, is almost solely responsible for the (poor) image of motorcyclists that persists to this day. Last year there was a video floating around Toronto of a jackass on an RC51, doing much the same thing. He’s dead…too many people blamed the frost heave / pot hole he hit at 160+ mph. Another similar incident here last year saw a kid on a ‘Busa die when he pretty much cut a car in half on city streets. Unfortunately, he killed the 2 people in the car.
These are the clowns pissed off at the police who throw the book at them when they get caught.
I know how fast my bike will go, but I found out a very long way from civilization (does that make me any smarter?). Frankly I find the whole ‘top speed’ thing a little boring & very scary. Gimme corners any day….
That’s so freakin narly dude! I got my bike up to like almost 130, I had to slow down cause my helmet was starting to lift off my head, lol. Luckily my helmet no longer has straps, it would a probably choked me. It was totally awsome…
Yeah, one day I had my bike showing 160 on the dash, but then I accidently hit the trip odometer reset button and it went back to zero.
Okay, so I love getting up to Hayabusa speeds, but my neighbor hates it when I tie my bike to the back of his Hayabusa.
Come on folks, lets get some more hilarious sarcasm on here! We do it all the time!
Whats the big deal it was on a big emptyish motorway, its no new thing, besides its his choice. Also kawasaki riders ENJOY annoying the public, go back to your boring jobs, this guy probably lived more in 5 minutes than most of you criticizing will in your entire lives
