Bill,
I agree whole heartedly. I am not one of those guys with the marbles, ball bearings etc. Though I have wanted to be. Understand Ryan's position, as I think most of us do, having become better driver's because we are riders. Quite a conundrum, but I think it is mostly a position arising from education, nurturing and legality. As Dwight put it, only the most "enlightened" and "big brother will save you" kind of state allowing it says a lot about that to me. I think Ryan hit a point on the entitlement concept I brought up earlier in that people tend to think it is not fair. That can put us motorcyclists into a precarious situation. In my opinion we are already in a tough situation inherently being on two wheels. Why increase that? But based on my experience, others that have been filtering for decades in the golden state and European countries, and a belief in my ability to handle a motorcycle I believe it is more a political than safety or legal issue. Big brother will take care of us all, don't none of you worry about that as long as it can bring him some cash!
