Breaking the law &#x2F;= recklessness.  You are probably thinking of negligence per se, something less than recklessness.<p>And I wonder why you assume that a bunch of motorcycles driving through the mountains would be breaking any laws.  I know a group of lesbian harley riders who never go faster than 50 who would take issue with any assumption that riding a bike suggests illegality.  For them it is about being seen and showing pride.  I did a ride for burn victims a few years back.  The kid riding on my bike was all smiles even though I doubt we broke 30 the entire way.  He just liked the wind, a bit like my dog when she hangs her head out the window.  Riding for fun does not mean riding for speed.
