[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 113611, member: 60"] The bottom line is .gov knew what they were doing and are still doing by making the motorcycle test complex costly and awkward while leaving the tin box test simple thus sucking away all the youth. Now getting into motorcycling is a game for the semi affluent middle aged and the organisations ( and all those mentioned by John above are basically hard nosed commercial enterprises not mutual interest organisations) do not really have motorcycling in their DNA. Even the BMF won't face up to the fact motorcycling is a leisure persuite nowadays .because we need to stop being classified with transport and being judged as a dodgy way to travel and more as a risky fun thing like mountaineering.horse riding etc then perhaps the media blackout on our pastime may end and we could involve the young again [/QUOTE]
