I wonder why they can't do video forensics, pull the tags and track these guys down and fine them.

This is an issue the region has been dealing with for well over a decade. I used to be heavily involved in sportbikes (I've never owned anything other than sportbikes until now, and the bike I own now is "sporty") over the last 25 years and lived in this area for that time. Not unlike a lot of tools running around in fast cars with zero skill, guys (and more increasingly girls) plunk down their money on a bike, buy some cool looking gear and think they also bought some MADD SKILZ YO!!!

What bothers me is that those of us who know how to drive and or ride are lumped in with these tools. It's the reason I hung up my leathers, slowed down on the street and started tracking the car. My motorcycle tracking days are over... This bumble don't bounce so easy. But I still commute on my ZRX1100 and take at least one long trip per year on it that consists of over 1000 miles in 3 days.

^ Nicely said Mike, I couldn't agree more, it's astonishing how many prats think there professional drivers when endangering others and themselves.

On my way home today I saw a white mustange unmarked with dark windows pulling someone over for speeding. I didn't even see the lights inside the car until he flipped them on and pulled over someone. Watch out.

I guess I am not surprised to see this here. We had plenty of the same thing in Tampa. We had a lot of bike accidents too which never ended well.

Bikes are fun but bike accidents rarely end well, thats why I don't own one.
I feel safer in a car with an airbag instead of on a bike where I would be the airbag.

I think bikes are great, I have several friends who have them but I could never own one. I know myself and I like speed way too much. With a bike you can really be a speeding bullet.
