You obviously havent been reading SS on visordown recently have you? :P

Youngsters are the highest two wheeled casualties, followed by the born agains.

Everyone says how unfair it is. But just stop for one moment and think. Even if they impose the same rules on car drivers it doesnt make anyone less vulnerable.

What makes us less vulnerable is OUR experience and developing OUR skills. Even if the driving standards were improved, we need to address some of the stupidity that a number of bikers display.

Soho is being disrupted by some antisocial individuals, the police are probably going to clamp down at the ace because of the bimbo on the R1. We as a group do not help ourselves or show that we can be trusted to ride sensibly and safely when the minority who are accident statistics waiting to happen is what the governments care about.

At the end of the day I really cant see why people oppose this given we really need to stop the stupidity of putting a 170bhp bike capable of 200mph [or near enough] in the hands of a 21 year old after a 3 day DAS.
