I told them, I've got a family, I've got a career, and I'm not going to put my life and yours as risk like that.
I've got one buddy who specifically bought a Scion FR-S just to go these California un-sanctioned road courses (GMR, Asusa, Angeles) and it's pretty reckless. Thank god he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Yeah, and damndest thing about hitting 40... I still drive fast, I still have a great time on 2 wheels and 4. But I've found I just don't NEED to hang things out as far as I used to cause yeah, I've got family, friends and a happy life.
Sad that this young girl lost hers, my hope is that both the kids were having a blast though and she went quickly. I feel for the driver and the families, long time for those scars to heal.
I met my wife in college, at the time my only transportation was a GSXR750. She went everywhere with me on the back of that thing. Then at some point, around 2003, I didn't want her on the back anymore. I would have been thirty, and for whatever reason I didn't want her on the back of the Busa anymore. I'll put other ladies back there if they are up for it, but not my wife...
Risk VS Reward, shifts on a sliding scale as you age I guess.
Again sad accident...
