"NATURAL SELECTION"^^^^

Yes sir, that was his choice of being reckless, he had his fun, now he suffer the consequences.

The way I see it, most things in the world, the higher the fun factor, the worse consequences it comes with. Nothing is wrong, just don't complain when you have to pay for it

Maybe I shouldn't say nothing is wrong, since if this guy hurt someone else, then it is wrong, but if he just smack into a pole and kill himself, I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as he pay for the repair on the light pole, don't make us tax payer to pay for it

If he did this on the track he could of easily hit the same speed and even if he fell off he would of been able to slide and rolled off the crash without losing his legs lol

I seriously think fast motorcycles and fast cars should be illegal and off limit to anyone under 25. When a person is young, love speed, full of energy, feeling invincible.........they all do 180 mph in 25 mph zone. They don't care, think it is ok, nothing will ever happen to them or anyone. I know I did I did some REALLY reckless driving that I will never do again now that I am older and wiser. At the time, I don't think about the consequences and just do it, I got lucky and nothing bad happened to me. Partly due to I was too poor to own anything too fast, the fastest car I owned only had 430 hp, is A LOT slower then a fast bike.

Almost ALL older car guys say the same thing, if I have a vehicle this fast when I was young, I would be dead.
That is such a ridiculous stereotype I'm not even going to touch it.

I won't be dwelling on stereotypes here, because they are brought up sometimes.

But statistically speaking we all know the high accident/injury/death rates of the youngest drivers.

In the idiots defense there isn't much in San Tan valley. I would bet there was no one on the road especially, at 2am on a Sunday. If he wouldn't have hit the light pole it probably would have been a cactus.
