I can agree with this.

I saw a "news" report on Kiro 7 (Seattle Station) about motorcycle riders. Thought it was going to be an interesting piece. First thing the cop says is how he'd get extra life insurance. Downhill from there.

I've seen a lot of stupid stuff done by all kinds.

Agree. I would also add that stupid isn't mutually exclusive to 2 wheels.

Interesting:

"The term One Percenter is said to have been coined after an incident in Hollister, California in 1947 which was dubbed the Hollister Riot. Whether an actual riot occurred is debatable, but there was a motorcycle rally in Hollister from July 4 to July 6 of that year that was attended by about 4,000 people. Several newspaper articles were written that, according to some attendees, sensationalized the event. Life magazine ran an article that included a staged photo of a slovenly-looking man on a motorcycle with beer bottles piled under the wheels and a bottle in each of his hands. The film The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando, was inspired by this event, and it became the first in a series of movies that depicted bikers and members of motorcycle clubs in this stereotypical manner. It has been reported that the press asked the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) to comment on the Hollister incident, and their response was that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, and the last one percent were outlaws. Thus was born the term "one percenter." The AMA now says they have no record of such a statement to the press, and call this story apocryphal."

Funny thing is, when it comes to actual street racing, I see more cruiser/chopper guys doing it than sportbikes.

Everyone who drives faster than me is a raving maniac.
