    The voices of the people who can actually ride machines properly and know what machines are suitable is ignored, the people who want super cheap commuter transport and the people who want make a stylish statement about how wealthy and exclusive they are, are the ones catered to. It's kinda ridiculous, but it's nothing new.

    To me it's the most annoying thing about motorcycling. So many people see everything as being about the bike, not about the riding. I hate it. You only need one thing to have a Ducati Desmo, VFR1300 etc MONEY!

    I'm only joking really but I'd love to see a test for someone who wants to buy a big bike.

    Man goes into Yamaha Dealership,

    MAN: "I'd like to buy an R1 please"
    ASSISTANT: "Sorry, but we cannot sell it to you until you have your track certificate"
    MAN:"How do I get that?"
    ASSISTANT: "You need to go to the local race track, the instructors will give you training, then when you are really able to ride the bike properly and go around the track within 10% of a professional rider you are than issued a certificate, and then you can come back and buy the R1"
    MAN: "See you in a week or two"

    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.
