HHR vs Honda CBR 600
Anyway, I was on honeymoon yesterday, went to the store, and on the way back to the hotel an idiot on a Honda CBR 600 tried to jump out into traffic and my HHR got hit. I gave that bike a full broadside. Kid appears to be ok, just in hospital and probably with a broken hip. I got out of the car screaming and acting a fool. Come to find out this was the kid's 7th wreck and he's only 23. Darwin didn't get his due today.
Pics up soon when I figure out how to.

Please don't say all sport bike riders are dangerous. I have ridden sport bikes for 8 years and ride very responsibly. I don't have a death wish on the road and I wait in traffic like everyone else. (it is hard at times in the phoenix heat). I just recently had my first incident and it was due to a person (16 year old guy) flying out of a parking lot and broad siding me. I am fine, and the bike was repaired then sold.(done riding for now) If I am feeling the need to go fast I go to the track and do some drags or go to track day and do some laps (always gets the adrenaline going). I just do not like to be classified as a "stupid sport bike rider" because I ride safely and the group of guys I used to ride with all ride like me and it was fun to go out with 15 to 20 of us and just enjoy the cruise.

+1000 I ride a bike that can be considered a "sport bike" and still ride with my head. Sounds like you just had a run-in with a dumbass. 7 wrecks and only 23?!? WTF?

I ride a 675, and from time to time I do some dumb sh**, but it's normally not around traffic. I don't stunt, I just ride fast with what some might consider unsafe lane changes. I don't weave, or split traffic, that's just asking for trouble. Cagers scare me too much to play with them. I will say though, that bikers do need to ride somewhat aggressively because cars just don't register what a bike is on the road. I need my license for my job ( D.O.T. truck ), so I don't act out too much. On a side note, I have yet to have something with 4 wheels keep up with me, much less pass me, no matter how we started.
