No kidding. I saw a trailer for that the other day and all I could think about was how many more squids we're going to have around metro Atlanta thanks to that stupid movie. Thank god they have a tendency to off themselves pretty regularly. I watched a guy eat it on I-20 the other day doing a standup wheelie at about 70mph.....can't say I felt a lot of pity for him.Originally posted by: BoYRaCeR

I bet he wasn't wearing leather's either.
95% of all harleys made are still on the road..the other 5% made it home.

You might want to see if you can throw a leg over one before making a purchase. You may really miss your Duc's midrange out on the road. R6's are sweet bikes, but you have to rev the snot out of them to make any reasonable torque making for a "busier" street riding experience than the use-one-or-two-gears-and-let-the-torque-do-the-rest experience of a big twin.

That was funny. I'm actually thinking about selling my Duc and getting an R6. They're pretty sweet.
This was my favorite part of that thread:

heh.

Have you lived in Atlanta long enough to remember the squid-boy who died on the connector about 5-6 years ago. He was hauling ass down Freedom Parkway with some buddies headed for the southbound connector. If you've driven this bit of road, you'll know that it goes up and over 75/85 in a sweeping turn to the left before merging into the interstate. This dumbass apparently got into this corner too hot, tried to hit the brakes, stood the bike up (bike of course stops turning if you do this), hit the outside retaining wall, flew over the retaining wall and fell ~three stories down to the northbound lanes where he was struck by "multiple vehicles". They had a great photo in the AJC of his mangled bike along the edge of the retaining wall and a few of his buddies looking over the wall down to the highway. Dumbass. :|Originally posted by: Queasy

I used to live in Corpus Christi, Texas (right on the Gulf of Mexico) and there was an incident where a crotch-rocketeer decided it would be a good idea to run from the cops. Well, he ended up laying his bike down. He of course was not wearing leather and tore his legs up a good bit. Well, he figured he could get away from the cops by running out into the water and swimming away....the SALTwater. The cops ended dragging his screaming butt back and arresting him on multiple charges. Unfortunately, stupidity is not a felony.
Yeah, but their idiocy jacks up insurance rates and reinforces the public sentiment that all sportbike riders are idiots for the rest of us.Originally posted by: The_good_guy
Hey Johnlee.. long time no see.. we got to go riding sometime .. we have been planning that for ages.
Anyway I have nothing else to comment on.. Squids are natures way of population management, everytime we have too many people on this planet a squid is born.

I wasn't referring to any increase related to new riders inspired by the movie, I was talking about all the f*cktards that are already out there. It's completely insane that a 32 year-old with a completely clean record and 7 years of riding experience such as myself gets such outrageous quotes for something like an R1 or other literbikes because of these a-holes throwing their bikes down the road every 5 minutes.Originally posted by: The_good_guy

True.. but that incrase will be temporary.. after a while when the "biker boyz" effect has disappeared the insurance should drop back to normal.. after all there will be a percentage of riders at all times who are going to be squids.. that wont change unless if you have a catalyst.. in this case a movie.
Yeah... it sounds like you have a faulty deregulator inside the muffler bearing!!

Well at all times the # of retards out there is constant.. but with a catalyst the number increases and so will our insurance..
I know for a liter bike the price will really shoot up (actually 600cc and up it will shoot up). I cant say I will be safe with a 500cc bike but still I will see an increase.. not this year (I am fully paid up) but next year for sure.
I hope when I do go to a 600cc bike I dont have to pay thru my nose for insurance.. so I understand your concern as a safe rider.
Only thing i can suggest is shop around for insurance. Price varies....
