Yeah, those things scare me. You must have to have a damn good grip on the handlebars just to stay on with the way they accelerate!

Similar to Rattlesnake Guy's post, I also question how the public safety is served by a cop speeding way too fast just to catch up with somebody who may or may not be going a little too fast. 55 in a boat at night to catch up with somebody who is going 18? 110 mph on the road just to catch up with me going 60? Neither seem safe or worthwhile.
