OK, I know that this site is old but this ******* is a total idiot!!!! You guys have to check it out, if you haven't already. This Hal Licino is a total jerkoff! He basically is calling all Sport motorcylists Idiots and irresponsible.
Ban Hayabusa, CBR, ZX, YZF, etc. From Roads Now!
Just thought I would post this... it struck a nerve with me!
In the first place the NHTSA imposed speed limits back when they were truly meant to be observed. Now, they are merely used for financial purposes. Don't get me wrong, I believe in doing the speed limit and I also believe that there are times/places that warrant letting loose! We all know those places(local to each of us) and the police, local government and courts are changing the speed limits so that THEY can MAXUMIZE their monthly budgets. The original speed limits imposed were for REAL safety back then, now the local police, local courts and municipalities manipulate the speed limits to maximize their monthly income. It is NO LONGER about safety, it is now about PROFIT. The vehicles have become 100 times safer in the last 10-15 years, with crush zones, ABS, Air Bags, restraints... on and on.
So, lets be realistic... The speed limits imposed by LOCAL GOVERNMENTS is all about money and hurting everyone who drives a vehicle. You get a ticket, you plea it out, it gets reduced, the fine is the same but you still recieve the same points and have to pay all the court costs, fines and then you get told by the JUDGE(who by the way is doing crack in the back) "I better no see you in here again".
I truly believe that America is due for an INTERVENTION on behalf of the American people. The NTHSA should be in charge of ALL speed limits. No if ands or buts about it. This way, it is fair, the road is marked appropriately and people know the damn speed limit. Where my farm is in Ohio, ST. RT. 35 from Gallipolis, Ohio to Chillicothe, Ohio. The road speed changes constantly for absolutely ZERO reason. The Ohio State Patrol runs that road and pulls anyone over that is doing just a hair over. Hell, I have lived there for close to 15 years and I can't tell you the speed limit. It changes from 45, 55, 65 and then back down to 55 and 45. How the hell are you supposed to know the limits!
Anyway, enough venting.... just saw the article and the dude pissed me OFF! What a jerk face prick.

P.s. I am 46, have 2 busas and love them, drive very carefully and have taken serveral MSF courses along with obtaining my European license I truly think this guy needs an attitude adjustment! Wish I was back there in the states so I could smack him up side the head....
