[M4Now!]

So I'm on the road a few nights ago, a surface road with minimal traffic. Someone in another car tries to race (can't even remember what it was ), and he vanished in a quick burst of throttle. At which point, some guy on a sport bike shrieks past me, going WAY faster than me.

We stop at a red light, and his buddy on a second sport bike joins him. The light turns green, and they hit it - all I hear is bikes winding up.

And then way up ahead I see them start to round the next curve, which isn't particularly hard - except that construction has torn up the road surface. First one bike's taillight wobbles, but he saves it. Then the second bike's taillight goes horizontal, and I can just barely see it spin off the road in a cloud of dust

I pull up to help, but fortunately the guy is in full leathers and is up by the time I get there, bike across the road in the ditch. I thought he would be dead...they had to be doing 100. They don't want help (probably to limit witnesses...), so I leave.

Moral of this story? Don't try and go fast on a road you don't know...
