We have forum members that are constantly telling newbies that it is okay to start out on zx-6r or RR bikes and GSXR-600's and even 1000cc/1Liter bikes...it irritates me deeply to see the postings on the web. Still we have those on the web that say that we don't have a governmet in place that should not allow us to ride wha we want an dwe don't want the government involved. I will continue to support that we have the obligation to tell people to start small and build up to a great bike We have the responsability and accountability to keep things in line and not get our members killed...still I am getting slammed for my ideas of safety. I believe tha tif someone tells a newbie that he can learn to ride an ZX-6R and he gets killed trying to learn that the person giving the advice should be held accountable for his actions, convincing someone that likes the looks of a bike that they can learn of it. It is wrong and there is not a thing that I can do about it. It will have to come through Insurance companies insuring the person, not their dad, brother , mother or sister...You are 20 years old and can pay the $3000.00 insurance a year then Okay...as lon as it doesn't afect my insurance and upset me that one of my friends has pur somene in harms way and litterally given him a weapon to kill himslf and perhaps others...
