Keeping Girls On Motorcycles
On any given weekend at your local motorcycle club, you will see throngs of kids blasting around on dirt bikes having a great time. More often than not, it’s at these local club tracks where kids are introduced to motorbikes. Boys and girls (under 10 years old) get out there and simply enjoy riding their bike without too much competition. Not many of the kids or parents care where they finish in the pack — it’s just about having fun.
Putty Road Blues
I just can’t believe what the safetycrats are doing to the Putty Road in the name of safety. The latest effort has been to cover the existing broken centreline on quite a few of the short- and medium-length straights down the Windsor end, with double yellow lines. Why? The only reason that I can fathom is that if you stop people from overtaking, it will slow them down, and we all know that speed causes accidents!

Company Policy
I’ve never been a big fan of riding in large groups. I’ve always found that the larger the group, the slower and more cumbersome the ride is. I understand why some riders enjoy it; it’s just never been my thing. I’m more than happy to ride with a few mates but my preference is usually the freedom and purity of the solo ride.
