I think Revlis nailed it. People see a group of bikes riding fast and they make the assumption that they are out racing and trying to turn the neighborhood into a racetrack. Having a spotless record, yet a heavy right wrist, I have managed to push my Busa to the limit. Of course my friends and I were on back farm roads where no other people were driving. It was completely rural and not even the birds would have complained over the exhaust noise. Riders will go out and ride however they choose, they just need to ensure they take precautions to prevent injury to others, themselves, or their driving record. Common sense sometimes goes along way.
