It's not everyday you walk away from a 343 mph wreck. I hope we get to see the video from inside and her comments afterward. Good luck on the next try, Valerie!

Good thing the chute worked keeping the bike from tumbling for a mile.

Ya, what a poser she must be. To date, she has only gone 304 MPH and 217 MPH on a street bike. A guy like you probably does that once a week.

She had an accident. That is news.

What she was trying to do, and failed at, is fake news. Substitute 600 mph and the story doesn't change.

What she has done in the past is old news.

BTW, that is the most contrived ad hom I've ever seen.
