Those who enforce those laws should be human beings capable of discriminating between those who need to be punished and those that don't. I want a perfect world, one in which those with the skills and talent get to use those skills and talents to pursue happiness. Let the ill equipped pay for their folly, so they don't cause society a huge bill.Major Softie wrote:Laws never discriminate between lawbreakers - they could not possibly do so.

All I see are fines that indiscriminately punish unsafe drivers, and skilled and safe motorcyclists.

Good luck with that; especially since your perfect world is only one of the billions of perfect worlds imagined by each of us.Zombie Master wrote:I want a perfect world...

In a perfect world there would be closed-course tracks on which to get your kicks.

One of my fabulous-wealthy fantasies was to have a plot of wooded land about the size of Ed's, with my own track laid out in it.
And electric fence to keep the critters at bay while I am out.

Re: The time has come
IMO motorcycles are for exploring and going places. Closed course is just going around in circles. I earned a racing license at one point, but I found being locked in to a course tantamount to a hamster on a running wheel, going round, and round, and round, and round, and round, and round, and round, and round, and round. Sure you can go faster with less risk, but it's just not the real thing. I'll take my chances riding in the real world. That's the kind of riding the Airhead is all about, with it's center stand, tool kit mit air pump, and tire irons.Rob wrote:In a perfect world there would be closed-course tracks on which to get your kicks.

Steal two hundred gazillion dollars, enough to buy myself an island and build a real honest-to-God train on it for noone but me.Rob wrote:One of my fabulous-wealthy fantasies was to have a plot of wooded land about the size of Ed's, with my own track laid out in it.
