Because for one. if your trying to make a name for yourself. Or trying to get sponsors etc.
Not only do you have to ride/act like one but you also have to LOOK like one.
Just my

from my experience.

Oh and johnny check out the SI calender. I threw you in there on my mods.

Excuse me, but how is the exhaust design faulty. Think about it, these bikes were not designed to do what we do with them.

Ive seen 03/04 636/ZX6RR OEM exhausts fall right off street bikes on street rides, so IMO it is a design flaw....These were just street bikes not stunt bikes and the exhausts fell right off when the clamp spot welds broke....

I almost ran over the 2nd one and that would have taken me right out....The first one the guy wasnt so lucky and it got caught up in his rear wheel and he went down pretty hard....

Don't forget that when your exhaust hits, it can rip it all the way off.......in some cases ending the stunt session. Happeded to me a couple times now.
