Well I agree with this post as it does no harm. Unfortunately for some people there is not a $100 dollars in the budget for the track days which would be beneficial. When I was young if you went to speedway you got carried away on the way home and you were silly and I think there is a bit of that in us all. Now that I am well into my sixties that spirit has been lost as I no that I could not keep up without coming to grief now. Vern
I can answer that
No they haven't targeted the wrong market , its a market they have nurtured , and Horsepower sells
The companies are as guilty as sin of " a lack of responsibility " over the horsepower game but
The old adage what wins on Sunday sells on Monday ,
but at the end of the day, the bottom dollar is king !
For a second... look at the Japanese car market, Here young people in Tokyo don't want cars ( no point ) , so the industry is focusing on the suburbanites and the "people movers " , ,, Go to any motor show and that's where the action is ,,,,,not in your super cars, ( top gear wouldn't work...in a seven seater people mover, funnily enough,,,,,)

People die on motorbikes, no news here,people who take risks know what could happen,thats life.
Yup! I think you're spot on there Katman. Last accident I had was in '91, and I'm pretty sure that it was Paul's fault. I didn't meet Paul until about '06, but it must have been his fault!I'm absolutely sure that it had squat to do with the fact that I was riding on an unfamiliar road with guys who knew the road well etc etc etc ......
SHIT KATMAN, IF YOU'RE NOT ON DRUGS, YOU SHOULD BE!(And might help with that wee wanking problem too. Good luck with that)
As you were Paul!![]()
Ride fast or be last.

And that's the problem right there - going out riding with a group of riders that encourage (or indirectly cause) you to outride your capabilities. Paul makes no secret of the fact that he thinks motorcyclists should be encouraged to push their boundries on public roads.
I say that sort of thing should be actively discouraged.
