What does that mean? You are a fan of gore movies, or you are a fan of actual gore, where people are mangled for real?
Actual gore.

Actual gore.
You watch people getting injured or killed for entertainment?
It is a good time of year to buy.I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one. Chalk it up to a mid life crisis. I generally can anticipate dumb shit other drivers will do pretty well before they do it, I am mature enough to ride within my limits, and I have a bit of offroad experience which might help a tad.
Everyone seems to think hopping on a bike is a death sentence, but I think with the right sized bike, not mixing in alcohol, riding defensively and within your limits, plus having good gear cuts the risks significantly. I'm considering a Suzuki SV650 as my starter road bike, and I'll go from there.
I love the feeling of being on two wheels, and life is too short to be a pussy.
My best friend growing up is a pathologist. Once of the first things he saw in his residency (could have been internship) was a motorcycle wreck victim. They brought victim in two different body bags. I am cool with people who enjoy them but not for me.

79 Honda CBX. 6 cyl wide 182 mph on radar. Cop was a friend of mine. Said it was the fastest thing that him or his fellow cops ever clocked. Kaw KX500 dirt bike. Damn near killed me. 10 surgeries.
I dont know what the current record is but i know a lot of cops these days wont even chase someone going that fast because of the risk of causing a life threatening accident. Hit the lights for a few seconds. If they don't stop, they're gone anyways.I don't know if it still holds true and I am too lazy to Google it- but I remember a bit of trivia when I was young that the fastest speeding ticket ever given was 192... you were close.
I cannot be trusted on a crotch rocket. Had one for a couple weeks as a kid and took it back and traded it in for a road king. Things were already out of hand and it would have gotten far worse knowing me.
Probably a very wise choice on my part.
