[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] Good valied points Tom and your right completely what your saying. My old mans been riding 30 years now. 4 weeks ago he was hit on his Benelli Tornado by a car trying to cut accross traffic (Lights, X roads, car tried to beat the on-coming traffic). As a result, my Dads £15,000 bike is now a write off, dad has over 20 breaks in 1 of his legs, 2 broken ribs, and has now got 1 leg shorter than the other. My dad was doing about 20mph. He's all pinned and plated up. I've even got x-ray pics on my phone :lol: (he'll be alright, its pretty meadioca in terms of his lifes injuries :lol: ) A lot of the problems are car drivers, but it f-ing does my nut in seeing new riders going out and hammering it down the road. Granted not all people are the same, you get your sensible lot, and your complete fools. But its much easier to control a smaller bike than it is a larger bike. My SV is a lardy turd really, but as you say, its a lot more forgiving to ride than a sports bike. Its also much cheaper to repair should you have an accident.... As i've said though, its the way i've been brought up, others will have a different view, i just don't want to see another new rider end up as just another statistic. Its SO easy to make the smallest mistake which could cost you your life. Much easier to learn to ride to try to avoid these situations if you start off of a smaller, lighter more flickable bike as you have more control. Then as you learn how to control it, move onto something bigger heavier and faster and put what you've learned to practice. [Edited on 09-11-2006 by VXR] [/quote]
