I wouldn't like it if I was the new rider. But as the old rider there may be some benefits. The accident in Kelowna for example, Who's fault was it? The driver of the VW that may have seen the bike yet not realized how fast it was traveling, or the rider of the bike not being prepared to stop/avoid someone doing the unexpected.
I would like to have the money and opportunity to take the rider skills training that is available to the police riders. If we viewed the motoring world as if they were all trying to kill us on purpose, then the more skills we have the better equipped we would be to survive.
