Like when I see jackasses doing wheelies at 120 mph on the highway with a t-shirt and shorts on during the morning rush I just shake my head.

Of course.

Sit back in the seat a bit and throttle up like a man. I have gotten through part of third many times.

My girl used to have a Ninja 500 and there was no throttling that thing up. Maybe because it was carburated, I dunno. I tried like hell though and I did everything short of bouncing the front shocks with my body weight then pulling back.

Well, then wherever they have those stunting events or whatever. I mean, someday I'd like to own a ranch and just build a huge track on it so I can do whatever the hell I want. Although I'd still like to hit up a track just to go fast too h:
