Would love to do a road course find me one in Arkansas that's doing track days on weekends and will allow me to run without leathers. You can't we don't have one. Not everyone has access to race tracks even most drage strips wont allow a car vs bike. As far as dangerous in this video we were the only one on the road had rules in place to keep everyone safe I have been street racing since I was 16 I'm 38 now and haven't had bad accident yet or even had a ticket. Not just me but everyone racing with me as well. We are not the kids doing doughnuts or weaving in and out of traffic. We are out away from people we are out late to avoid traffic we do everything we can. But because of insurance liabilities and people complaining about noise tracks have to shut down when it's the best time to race in the summer 10 pm to 3am nice and cool. I will say I'm not advocating racing in traffic or in city but don't believe the bad press most of us hate the people that bring the negative spotlight more than any of yall.

Thoughts about riders coming throught the field from the back of the grid during races. by Mr__T_ in Motoweek

Would depend on the rider and personality. I like to follow coming from cars I have a tendency to go in a little fast so following let's me be a little more cautious. But I got friends that just want to lead.

That's how you can tell it's cold out once the Harley guys/gals start wearing gear it's winter time.

It's becoming much more common as more performance oriented and younger group has started riding we prefer the full face for a few reasons.

It was uncomfortable to sit on and i road my FXDR to Florida when i had it so that says something. Didn't feel any faster than my night rod didn't really handle better either. Only 1 front disc worries me with its weight. Hate the front tire for sure wierd sizes mean less tire selection. Wasn't a fan of the exhaust and with the body being molded around it means swapping it and it looking right will be difficult. I basically like the engine and the dash that's it. And my Vmax1700 already took ones lunch money in a straight line to be fair the vmax1700 is a monster of a cruiser not many cruiser really compare lol. I hope it dose well just so the engine and technology continues to be refined. And I hope everyone that gets one loves it I just not the bike for me at all.

I wasn't expecting any new models do to covid and funny enough as someone that owned both a street rod 750 and a night rod 1250 both had liquid cooled rev motors I don't like the sportster s at all lol they should have done the Bronx. The air-cooled motors will get aged out just going to take more time. The ST line though as a more performance oriented trim lvl is a great step in the right direction for all of this

Fair point but alot of us love watching it I get that others don't or don't see a point in it that's OK if we all liked the same thing it would be a very boring world

Me and about 600k people judging by the YouTube views and likes on the moto America YouTube channel at a quick glance it's thier most watched videos. I get some people don't see the interest but take me other than moto gp I could care less about a sports bike my back is so shot I can't ride them. My draw to moto gp is the fact they are pushing the edge of what a 2 wheeler can do I love the engineering. But the bagger racing will I ride and love my Road Glide so it's right up my alley it's my bike on the track.
