But even if going at 140 gives you an adrenaline rush, how can you possibly forgive yourself by doing it?! I mean, if something goes wrong, it's you versus the concrete road.
A car at least provides you with a cage in case of a crash. Needless to say, at 140, you'd be just as dead in an X5, too. But in a motorcycle, you're out there; no safety elements of any kind, even to protect you from getting hurt due to others, let alone yourself.
