I think you hit the nail on the head, dirtybmxr... I truly fear what they will do to motorcycles. The EU put hp limits on bikes, but not on cars... how right is that? Yes yes, I know that in general, bikes are faster than cars, but the very fastest bikes are not faster than the very fastest cars (well ok, except in acceleration) and there are no limits there... that's definitely a case of fear and not sense being responsible for the rules.

VFRider,

Stupidity and ignorance are two different things... And I don't think name-calling will help here. Since you suggested that he go to a library, which is where you go to correct ignorance, perhaps what you really meant is "It should help with your ignorance problem", eh?

Re: Hold on a sec there....

Or maybe they'll allow the insurance companies to discriminate against us by refusing to honor medical claims incurred while riding a motorcycle. Oh wait, they've already done that.

Re: Hold on a sec there....

Nope... our lovely congress passed a bill which allowed them that discrimination.

Re: Hold on a sec there....

Darn right they have the right to do that. I don't dispute that. What I DO dispute is that they have the right to refuse the claim of one of their clients who was injured, merely because he/she was on a motorcycle, without notification in advance that they will not honor claims for injuries incurred while on a motorcycle. But if they arbitrarily refuse the claim based on their chosen mode of transportation without notification, that's rank discrimination. Where does it end? Do you know what the two most dangerous occupations in the US are? The ones most likely to get you killed? They're not motorcycle racer or cop... They're convenience store clerk and cab driver. How soon until the insurance companies decide that if you get shot while driving a cab or working at 7-11 that they don't have to honor THOSE claims? I realize that this sounds alarmist, but I believe that we need to think about these things.
