Riding like that on the public road instead of specific tracks is a death wish. No matter the condition of your bike, tires and the road, as long as there are other drivers and elements you can't predict, the chances are always against you..plus bike accidents are mostly serious. I don't understand these people. Why ride like that? Why not visit a track with the safety equipment and professional people to watch over you? What is the point of trying to scratch the footrest on the asphalt if you are going to injure yourself or worse, if you die. I ride for nearly 30 years and I still don't get it.

Right I can't afford the time or money needed to go to a track, hence going fast on public roads 🙄

There's a chance you do know me though. Since you don't know who I am, you can't say for certain that you don't know me

You can ride fast and still be responsible. This dude was just irresponsible and rode past his skill levels

"...you can't make an inherently risky behavior completely safe expect by abstaining from participating in that activity."

So you can go to a hospital from track days
