HA HA, yeah that was fun, but we were also well over the rules of the road as well. So we were being douches.

It's totally awesome that you wish other riders to wreck.

I have no interest in changing my riding habits. I think being an asshole in traffic gets you noticed and that means they see you. Which basically means hopefully they won't run over my ass.

That's still track riding, you are just doing it on the street. Riding on the track is best practiced riding on the track. I have no question about that.

Yes, street riding isn't necessiarly aggressive riding. It isn't race line. It's a different technique. If you want to go 100%, the track is the place to learn, no doubt.
