There HAVE been players to come in right out of high school or even off the street. Some players ARE good enough to skip the "junior leagues"

So you're saying that even though military people are mandated to take MSF,they are still crashing....interesting...

um...I'm wondering where you are getting your information...did someone hire a medium to interview these guys post mortem to ask them if they took MSF? Besides,most riders have never taken MSF courses and you know it and I doubt that all of these incidents could have been avoided had they just taken your 2 or 3 day class... BTW are you saying that 1 out of 20 people who take MSF are gonna die in a MC crash?

Shit! What are the odds that EVERYONE riding a SS bike is gonna crash? I don't know about YOUR forum but almost EVERYONE on this forum has crashed at least once!!!

Yea darn I wish I lived in a socialist country like France where bikes over 100hp aren't even ALLOWED!!! For the record,riders usually die when they have accidents with other motor vehicles and that,my friend,can happen regardless of the size of bike you are on!
