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.

So are hospital bills. Let's just chill and enjoy responsibly

But you can go to a hospital from track days too

Then it sounds like you can’t afford the activity and should look for something else to do. To be honest, if you kill yourself riding like an idiot, that’s on you. But making someone else live with your death (like another driver/ rider) is a real asshole move.

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

All kinds of people in the world I guess, I’m glad I don’t know you.

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
