    Haven't quite got time to read this whole thread, but I know there is a power limit for beginners in Colorado at least. And as for big bikes, they have a lot of really long, really straight roads over there. Comparing it to here is pointless.

    Not in Colorado there isn't lol. Entire state of mountains almost. Even beats NZ for twistie roads though most of them are under snow a good portion of the year.

    Oh yeah, bad example on my part! I just will always remember hearing some American people talking about skiing (I think they were West Coasters) and on hearing that a skifield was four hours away, the main reaction was 'Wow that's close, you are so lucky'. I was shocked that '4 hours' was deemed close.

    Lol where I am form it took half a day to get to the beach. Only takes me 2 hours to get from one coast (tauranga) to the other (raglan) here.

    Yeah the more slack jawwed,mullet headed,yokels crash their superbikes at speed the better it might raise the IQ of the country!!!
