We get so caught up on the safety aspect that we forget that part of the reason we ride is the risk factor. I could buy a car that would get 40 mpg but it would be a lot less fun. Riding a motorcycle requires more skill and courage then getting in a car. People who push their skills in the right environment are going to be better riders for knowing what not to do on the roads and what they and the bike are capable of.
You know I was being sarcastic, right?

Nothing wrong with having fun. I'll do that at the proper place and proper time. I'd like to be around to have fun the next day.
