Surely to pull a decent wheelie you have to be in supreme control of your vehicle? Likewise with a power slide etc.
Surely someone who is very good at wheelying is a better and more controlled rider that one that can't? They are more aware of the limits and function of the vehicle and able to control it to an extremely high degree.
On the Law's logic, a stunt rider is the most dangerous and out of control person on a bike when it could be argued the exact opposite. Jenson Button is more dangerous in a car because he can do more things with that car. Likewise Valentino Rossi on a bike.
Sometimes the law is donkey shaped. And lets not forget that the law is in place to protect the thickest members of our society and the law *should* apply less the more inteligence that a person has.
A blanket speed limit is in place because the powers that be deem 30mph to be a safe speed for the most utterly useless driver in the UK to travel at in a built up area. The more able the driver the higher technically they could be travelling to achieve the same end result (the avoidance of an accident). Nigel mansel has sharper reaction times and better car control than a mong that shops at iceland and read heat magazine and punches her friend on X factor.
Oh, slap me, I'm controvertial!
