Own?, no. I have had a license for over 5 years that I got by going through a safety course though... I sport my Dads bike when I go home. hehe
However, my very own bike IS in my future!!
My motto has always been "if your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough", I won't lecture anyone on how to be a smarter rider, but it goes without saying that when these guys get on thier bikes, they are aware of the consiquinces! But to pull a inocent kid into the picture is rediculous. What I mean is YOU could do the same damage or death to the same by stander if you have ever goosed the throttle in your truck... or hell, even riding in Torries 1000+hp TTGT!!
I have witnessed first hand guys doing nothing wrong, riding by the book and almost die... and yes I did know a guy whom lost his life on a metric, but again, I will not "speculate" on what could happen to anyone.
Good talking here except the comment about banning bikes...

It'll never happen in our lifetime!!
