You cannot say this. You didn't start on a smaller bike, so you don't know how much better of a rider you would be now if you had. Just because you are a "safe" rider, doesn't mean you are a good rider. You can constantly be doing everything that MSF taught you, following the speed limit, not following too closely, slowing at intersections, everything, and if you can't handle the bike you have in an emergency situation properly, you are still a poorly skilled rider.

YAY! Finally someone besides me said it! I didn't say it this time because I'm tired of typing it, and people might start thinking I have a "thing" for Rossi!

I might not know YOU personally, but unless you are some kind of prodigy, you've got the same riding skills that everyone else started off with, none. People who start small become better riders than those who start big. You started big, I started small, I went big, and went back to small, I am now a better rider for it, and I'd bet ALOT of money that I'm a better rider than you, just because I started small. Forget my years of experience and track schools.

Now son...it's not nice to cast dispersions on those whom you can't reach the knees of



If you’d read the replies…you’d see the ones who disagree with you….or in YOUR language…are AGAINST you (you kids all seem to wanna play as if everyone is oppressing you…guess Al Sharpton is the OFFICIAL spokesperson of those under 21) have been here long enough to see this play’d out time and time again and KNOW the outcome
