I also didn't mean to sound as if your opinions were wrong or anything. But none the less the accident is tragic and should have never happened.

I don't want to get pulled over, but if I go through a checkpoint, they won't get me for anything other than no front plate.

Well, that's easy.
Ever go light-to-light in a Prius?
Ever try to pass a big-rig going 75?
Ever find a nice, long on-ramp in the middle of nowhere?

Those are times when big power can be used legally for a bit of fun and safety.

Trust me. I've had big-horsepower cars and still have very fast bikes.
It's important to know HOW to use it and WHEN.

I've not driven for 30 years and ridden for 35 years with not a single accident without my share of being dumb. The difference is knowing your limits and those of your machine - whether 2 or four wheels (or 18 for that matter)

Yea i definitely know what you mean. The only accident I've been in wasn't my fault and the SOB ran away. I also totally agree with the how and when, while knowing your personal limits and the limits of the machine you're on.
