dudes, AK is a russian (or, of the russian mentality), and there is no russian out there who does not like fast speeds - it was in their blood when they were sledding on the icy roads of the mother russia, and riding horses... russians are the ones who came up with the russian roulette, die but prove the point, they have the saying that dying in view of a cheering crowd is fun!!! (на миру и смерть красна)...

I sure hope he gets the point and stays safe...

I had a fellow co-worker, a US Navy SeaBee (CB), who went through Iraq, Afganistan, Haiti, Uruguay, Somalia, Thailand, was with me in Panama, came out of those adventures without a scratch and died on a motorcycle going down on I-95 in DC area... nice kid, we talked a lot about his little kids, his plans to be posted to Italy for his next assignment... his passing really broke my heart...

I'd probably voice an opinion of somebody who has no idea what a motorcycle riding is, but i always think that those guys on the fast bikes are suicidal...
