Sad... #2 - LongRanger_imp - 05-26-2021
Amazing video. Not just sad, but really stupid. I can't imagine the horror, and of course the consequences are dire.

I wonder if they will think it was worth it when the inevitable happens?

Oh its those stupid little armor vests. Every time I see a guy wearing one of those over a tshirt i laugh out loud. Please....who are these jokers kidding? That's going to do exactly nothing at those speeds. They just wanted to put on a cool vest. Its a costume.
It's rare in this world to be able to know everything about a person just by what they're wearing, but if I see one of those vests I've got your personality 95% clocked.

Agree with Mr. P on his points.
I won't even describe here the horrific scene that was photographed and posted on social media a few years ago of a double fatally on I-55 in or just outside of the city of Chicago; it's just too gruesome. The rider and his passenger were the fatalities and no other vehicles were involved. If I recall, they estimated the bike's speed at impact at 125mph.
There are packs of these guys riding around every summer night on the interstates near me. I can hear them starting at around 11pm. I've seen them flying past us in our car. It's nerve racking even for a driver who is an experienced motorcyclist. I imagine that it could put a driver into a panic that causes them to brake or change lanes suddenly. I don't know how I would deal with hitting a bike with my car and killing the rider regardless of my culpability for the incident. These guys don't think about such things. I'm not sure they think about anything other than themselves. That's frustrating. and sad.

RE summer nights:
The same issue in the greater Toronto, Canada region - and typically starting around 11 pm and going to maybe 1 am. They are probably generating lots of video trophies.
Their engine whine can be heard from a very long distance.

Tis the exuberance of youth, their mind is in a completely different state than ours, as was mine in my teens and even right into my thirties.

Their mind is not in a completely different state because they are young. That’s insulting to every young person whose “exuberance” leads them only to actions like cutting class or smoking weed. These guys don’t get to play the “immaturity” card. Sorry. They have no excuse for what they do. They deserve none. They are stupid and selfish period and deserve no quarter.
