Ouch is right. Then again, the type of bike there tells you most of what you need to know. Young, too fast, immortal...oops. I have lost too many friends like this, every one of them on a sport bike. I'm not saying I'm any better; but I am damned careful and somewhat paranoid on the road. And I have over 100,000 miles shiny side up. Someday it may well be my turn.
I will still take my motorcycle on a dry day. The 45 mpg average is good for my wallet.
