How fast is TOO FAST for the street?

Cages are ignorant and aggressive enough without giving them reason.

Well,I'd love to agree with this but to be honest,I can't... I don't/won't live my life based on how my actions will reflect on ANY particular group I could be affiliated with. Examples; I am also a male,a halfbreed,a veteran,etc and I don't worry about how my personal actions will reflect on any of these groups...

Never ride faster than you angels can fly.

Seriously though it does depend on the actual street/situation.

Well i don't feel obligated for my life. And I know the issue here was speed, but some stunts our bikes can pull off easily and safely tend to make the general public discriminate against sportbikes. Sometimes they act aggressively simply cause we are on one.

Me, I will take what comes and give as good as i get. But sometiomes I fear for the newbie, unitiated riders having to deal with this kind of driving.

Oh I totally understand your point BUT I have to be honest and say that I don't spend a lot of time worrying how my actions on a given day reflect on others of my kind. Note: I do care how my actions reflect on me though...

Teehee, The only way I care about how it reflects on me is if they will say "oh damn, haow cool was that?" or "shit dude, are you OK?"

I have seen newbies crack up and would hate if it were any way my fault or because of my example. Experienced riders get what karma hands us. If you and I ever ride, testosterone can set the pace

You got a deal! Oh and I don't like to ride with noobs 'cause I don't want to drag them to their deaths! So I always end up putting along being bored,oh well those are the times I actually plug in my MP3 and listen to music while I ride...
