I don't disagree that the current changes are a bad thing for biking, I'm suggesting this as what I think is a better alternative to the new laws. And it doesn't stop people riding what they want. It just insists that if they are new to biking and have done DAS they take additional training first. Any rider who's ridden more than the two years would remain unaffected, which would also cover anyone who already been through the 33 bhp two years.
I can't get my head round the current situation where somebody who passed the test on a 500 is somehow deemed a more capable rider than somebody who passed the same test on a 125. It just doesn't make any sense.
The problem with restrictions in legislation is that it's done by non biking politicians, doesn't make any sense, is driven by various political agendas, and restricts freedom of choice, not just with the focus on improving safety.
