Any plans for the US motoGP this year?

Of course, It’s only an hour and a half away. Are you planning on going? I know a place you could stay.

There is a skill level needed to ride safely. That skill is taught then honed in by years of riding. The new (old) riders skip that step making the stats go crazy. The states must mandate rider training as they do driver training before one can get a license. The helment law must also be re-established. We are required to buckle up. The arument you quoted was used in the 60's with high powered cars and could also be made with the street racers of today. Bottom line, the car turned into the bike. The fault lies with the car and driver not the bike rider. If I was on my Bandit would they say the problem was my underpowered bike.
