What’s really scary is the fact it was an 18yo girl too! Most 18 year old girls or boys are total airheads. They don’t comprehend the danger.
Since we’re sharing motorcycle stories I’ll chime in too. I started on dirtbikes at age 11 and did the streetbike thing all through my 20s. At one point I had a 2007 ninja zx10r. I broke 160mph multiple times. Always on a paved rural road with no one in sight. Never in traffic or city highways

When she kills someone...she'll say sorry
Yea them old bikes get speed wobble on occasion. Never had a new sport bike so I don’t know
Long time rule breaker and high speed runner we always checked max top speed on our rides.
That death wobble is brutal sometimes and my V65 Honda Magna and a buddies Yamaha VMax
got into it at 130- 140 and we tried all kinds of front end stuff to eliminate it and I had wore my rear tire out and got a new one and for the first time ever had it computer balanced at Ajax.
NO MORE death wobble that bike went clean to 167 MPH and I could let off the handle bars and slow to nothing without any shake.
My buddy took his back tire in and had it balanced then next day and it fixed his wobble.
Most of us older guys mounted our tires and never computer balanced them and i would bet money the majority of the wobble is from that.
Then think about the spoke rims.. are they running true?
It is almost an art adjusting spokes.
Dyna Beads! What a wonderful invention. Prior to them, I ran Antifreeze in my bike tires as well as in my 1975 Ford Custom 500 ex Louisiana State Highway Patrol Car. It had a 225mph speed cluster, it would walk past that very easy.
Yea i was poor and ran Ching Chin may pop’s surprisingly I survived.
Yep and I bet they were the HI-Max series.
Those tires flat stick to the pavement and last a long time, it is what I ran on my V65.
I got 4500 miles from a rear tire in the Ching Chin Hi-Max.
An Avon tire I bought went 1,900 miles and felt like I was on oil the entire time.
Dunlop was just a tick better than Avon so a fail there also and Bridgestone Excedra rear tire was fine.
Actually always had good luck with them!
140 mph? Pshaw! Travel on Turner Turnpike ~5-6 pm on a fall Friday night. That's the average speed of the Oklahoma high school foolsball fan.
