Oh yea, I keep forgetting that nowadays, it never has anything to do with personal responsibility and accountability.



There's a maturity factor that goes into "personal responsibility and accountability" that many younger riders lack. One assumes that parents, dealers and motorcycle journalists would possess this maturity although assumptions can be both unfounded and dangerous. MSF course mandates for riders under 25 years might not be a bad idea to increase their skill level.


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
