It's not big bikes that are the problem, the problem is small brains. 

 

 I think it's more the oncoming traffic. On a racetrack everyone are going in the same direction, not so on the road.

I almost clipped a few crossing the road going with, either for passing cars, either sides, or heading for panic U Turn or just ignorant of the traffic from behind. 

 

Jumping wehericles form side as well, especially country side where there is no traffic what so ever, suddenly a tac tac, motorbikes jumps out in front of you. 

 

And in North, you have this steep hills you have incoming traffic even three in the widt who all comes at you. You just have to be awake, and expect everything and anything from any direction

That was supposed to put an end to folks going out and buying these poweful machines and taking off without any training or experience.

Who would tech them, on aracetrack?

Whatever became of the 'Big Bike License' that the government and DLT were banging on about a few years back?

So sad that not only could the father not control his impatient urge to get out there and 'test' his new toy, he had to show off to his son as well. What a mentality!

You don't need a race track to teach someone how to ride a motorcycle, but you do need experienced and qualified trainers.

 

And that's probably why that bird brain idea never got off the ground.
