Racing Motorbike Designs
Are motorbikes really banned from roads in Sweden ?
And what is the likeley hood of motorbikes not being allowed on our roads in Britain, which was the home of great motorbikes. I remember a minister of transport (I think his name was peter bottomley) wanted all motorbike manufacturers to design all new motorcycles with leg protector crash bars for falling off, and airbags for crashes. He tried to ban road bikes which were styled like thier racing cousins. I think if we need to make roads safer, we should provide better training for car drivers. Also research has shown that motorcyclists make good drivers, and naturally good aircraft pilots. Anyone who is anti motorbike needs educated.
I have looked into this further, and it apears that Norway & Sweden wish to remove motorcycles from public roads. There are other European countries which wish to adopt these policies. I wonder if it could really happen that a country stops motor bikes being used on road.
OP: don’t know. Remember the rest, and concur. Unfortunately, some people hate bike riders, some just hate bikes, and most think they’re unsafe. There are inherent risks, and nothing can remove them, you just have to be good enough to avoid them, and have a little good luck when you don’t. Sadly, not always possible. Fortunately or not, society is still prepared to accept collateral damage from far worse things, so I think we’re still going to ride a while yet.
