Motorcyclist here. Pretty much everything I say except stunting is also applicable to car drivers as well.
Speed is so damned much fun, especially on two wheels. Hit the straight and twist that throttle, and you are GONE!!!
That said, we have a name for people who do that on the streets - squids. They are the bane of our community, and give us a bad reputation in the general population.
Want to go fast? Hit up a track day and get some instruction to go with it. Or book some track time just to unwind. Or maybe - just maybe (depending on your local circumstances), find a paved secondary highway with no traffic.
But street racing? Stunting? Showing off? GET THE FUCKING FUCK OFF THE FUCKING ROAD YOU FUCKING FUCK!!!
Yes, but the choice to ride naked will only kill themselves [and traumatize others] if they become a meat crayon. The gear doesn’t change what phtsically happens to others in accidents

Squids have always been gearless riders to me and my circle, not the name for reckless riders
Riding without gear is pretty reckless tbf

‘Squids’ is a good daily-driver descriptor. I prefer to go straight to ‘organ donors’ usually.
