I don't understand the mentality of some riders these days. Maybe it's because I'm married with a kid and the only thing thats more frightening than depriving my son of his father and my wife of her husband. Is taking someone else's wife or husband or child away from them by doing something stupid on my bike on public roads.
I went riding with a friend last weekend who invited some guys he knew along for the day. They all showed up on the latest 1000cc Sport Bikes with matching leathers (at least they were wearing the right gear :

) and racing replica helmets. I knew I was in for a long day as we were leaving the parking lot and two of them pulled a wheelie out onto the main street. Needless to say we didn't get thirty minutes into the canyons before one of them highsided in a turn and took out one of the other guys who was following to closely.
We were lucky no one was hurt, both bikes were totaled and a Sunday afternoon was wasted standing on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. :

Don't get me wrong I ride a high performance motorcycle and I like to have fun, but not at the expense of others.
That being said I think "Madness in the Mountains!" is a little sensational.
