exactly, i do insane shit on my bikes, but i don't, and have never cared what happens to myself. so needless to say, i take full responsibility for my actions, and expect no one to feel sorry for me.(because i was born with a cock and balls and not a vagina)
what pisses me off are the assholes that put other peoples lives in danger doing that shit. all the guys in the video knew what they were doing and all were aware of what could happen. but then you always have those certain people that feel the need to do all that in heavy traffic, or race around other cars.

All of those idiots in that video were endangering other people's lives in what they were doing. I am in school now and have therefore diverted my funds as such, but I used to own both a GSX-R 600 and 1000 in my younger days. While I know how fun it can be to exploit the potential of those machines, it should never be done on public roads. Even in light to almost nil traffic, there is nothing to prevent a miscalculated move from running a bike into the opposing lane or to cause some other unforseen accident and subsequent injury to an innocent driver. This kind of riding is done by those who wish to impress- even at the cost of their own wellbeing, including up to a potential stranger's wellbeing.
As for the lack of a helmet, that's just arrogance and stupidity. It boils down to a lacking of respect for the chance at life. The arguments against helmets are analogous to saying "there will always be thieves, might as well unlock the doors to the house and let what happens happen." Just stupid.
If you enjoy the performance these machines are capable of offering, go to a road track where you at least can only hurt yourself and possibly those willing to take the same risk. It's where the real fun is anyway.
