...Each bike, like it's owner, has a personality of its own, and tends to amplify those tendencies in their respective owner.  

Sport bikes are owned (primarily) by younger people who still feel that they're invulnerable and immortal.  As such, putting 150 hp at their disposal in a 400 pound package capable of 200mph has never been a good idea, but until the authorities REQUIRE people to have certain levels of training for each type bike, there ya go.

The problems you see are more a problem of regulation, training, and lack of police action.  If the police cared enough to crack down (as they do here in my area of the States), then you'd see a lot less of that type crap.

Cruisers
(generalizing) are owned by older, middle aged people who just want to enjoy getting from place to place with a bit of style.  They don't particularly do 300 - 400 mile days, but they might, on occasion, get on the bike and go bar hopping.

Touring Bikes (again, generalizing) tend to be owned by middle aged or older riders who enjoy being able to -- on a whim -- pack up a suitcase, then ride in any given direction, usually long distance, with or without their significant other.   Think of them as the Winnebego of bikes..


hey..what about us enduro riders :-)

Upload the pictures to your own personal gallery, then on the Group page, you'll see a line below the members that says "Add Pictures" where you can add group photos from your own album.


thanks Wayne..added a few pics :-)

Ah, Enduro.. the Hybrid of motorcyclists.   The ones who can't really figure out where they fit in, so try to do a bit of everything when they can.  Schizophrenics we used to call them back when I was a youngun...

:)

Seriously, Enduro riders barely even factor into on-the-road driving around here, so I simply forgot.  I cannot remember ever seeing one driving down the roads here as a matter of fact.

hehe ..well I know where I fit in..usually between a tight trail and very large trees !!!...up here in Canada there are quite a few of us 'enduro' riders and the bikes re regular seen on the roads...
