anyone who gets on a gsx1000 without a helmet deserves whatever comes after that, sorry about being so blunt, but it's just stupidity to get on that machine without one. I've had two R1's, i can laugh at that because the power is crazy on these bikes, and 1 slip of the throttle and ur on ur back. He obviously was trying to show off for that huge crowd behind him and took a spill. Because there not so powerful ur gonna slide out going straight down a track, so i feel ok about laughin seeing as he wasn't hurt. But i hear what ur sayin Mike, if he was hurt or somthin i would feel bad for sure, but he was showin off and that was kinda funny...
