Many years ago in Germany I was racing bikes. A couple of my non-racer friends always wanted to prove they could keep up with me. We were getting off the freeway one day; I was just taking it at a spirited clip when one guy decide this was the time to prove himself. He ended up tossing his bike into cross traffic at the exit. It was at this time I realized I have a responsibility to the guys I ride with not to get in this position. I currently have a Honda RS 250 for track days only.
