I don’t see how the actions of others would define _you_ as a rider. Has the idea passed your mind, that you being responsible on a motorcycle might inspire others?

I doubt when the fast and the furious car craze hit, you were turned off to driving a car because of all the guy’s who thought they were Vin Diesel.

The only thing that will change in 5 years with motorcycles is the bikes will be faster, but have better lighting, ABS & Traction control will become standard.

If anything riders will be worse because I’m sorry to say this, but it’s true.  
Each generation is dumber then the last.:Idiots
