My favorite debate. However I have changed my feelings smidge, but still the un-answered questions remain.
If there is no speed limit imposed by the government , what happens? Those who "choose" affect the rest of us. There in lies the "why" we move for legislation to regulate our behavior.
I beg to differ with the Bro who thinks it's all about skill, it is as I have said before an issue of the physics of our environment acting upon tissue and bone as opposed to leather and plastic when the actions of others or things alter our ability to stay upright on the tires.
I choose to ride with protection as I will spend the next 7 months flying folks who choose...un-wisely and pay a price that affects us all.
But then again, why not stop riding if it is so dangerous, make it illegal? mmmmm? Well, now I don't want to go there! So even in my world of absolutes again I find a need to back off a bit.
Hedge your bet, optimize your options, choose wisely!
