Looks like he liked to do burnouts.

Hope the driver of the minivan wasn't hurt and this guy learns from his mistakes....AND TAKES IT TO THE TRACK!

And just another idiot making the rest of us look bad. I also looked at a few of the comments and it's just as I expected, non-riders putting his misdeeds on all of us on sport bikes. I view idiots like this guy as the sport biker's 1% crowd. Just like many people see the 1%'ers and think that all cruiser riders are like them, same thing with us and squids. People see the sport bike squids like him and then see HIM in all of us.

It seems like more than 1%... everywhere I look someone is doing something stupid. I know a couple guys that ride, all they do it show off and act like complete ***holes! One of them tried to do a wheelie and went down with no gear... smacked up his bike and made a complete fool of himself. This is why I don't ride in groups unless its with my sister.

I've only seen like 1/2 squids here, wearing no gear on a 600+ bike, except now I see a lot less and most of them have at least a jacket (jacket helmet and gloves is all I wear, unless it's cold enough that I need boots for my morning commute) Biggest squid I've seen was a dude wearing just a t shirt with his arms completely locked they were bent backwards, on an older zx-11 with a rear tire so square it looked like it belonged on a car, but he rode slower than me for the most part and I envied the torque of that 1100 all he had to do was twist the throttle a tiny bit and I had to drop a couple gears to keep up lol.

It's as debatable and as pointless of a debate as if to debate just how many cruiser riders are part of the 1%. I don't believe either group is only 1% of the population of riders for either sport or cruiser. However, both groups are NOT the majority. Yet that's what most (and you guys are proving my point beautifully) people see in their minds. The rest of us are the ones that "they didn't see" and therefore in their mind ALL of us (or at least the majority of us) are idiots like him that are just accidents waiting to happen.
