I think we are being a little too hard on these guys. I mean look, they have a readiness checklist. With that what could go wrong? Be sure to have your AAA card and 100 for your bar tab and you are set.

...but not enough.
If I were still in law enforcement I think a good case could be made for criminal conspiracy against the organizers. Jail time is a possibility. Hmm.....I do know some people.
I saw a video of the run and it looked more like a Fast & Furious get together...
lol that'd be hilarious! Giant road block!Quote:

Why yes, yes I do - especially for sport bikes that like to lane split and go where they aren't supposed to be. And had I NOT been paying attention, I WOULD have hit him.Quote:
