Fair call Stu
but i think that young fella and his old man would tell yer that was a case of stupidity , brain fade , blonde moment whatever
Should we cover our spokes ala speedway rears or run muffler extentions into the sky so we cant stand there and breath in the carbon monoxide or entirly cover the ht lead and plug cap so we cant touch while motors running incase we get a belt . what about wrapping the entire exhaust in thermal wrap in case we touch it and burn ourselves , box stands should be outlawed due to potential back injuries lifting the bike on and off
Somthings should be left to personal choice and common sense
I think the fact that many older bikes had no sprocket covers fitted std is a reflection of a time when common sense was favoured over beuracracy
Where else in the world are Front sprocket covers enforced
or is an Aussie only deal , like those wonderfull square numberboards of the 70s 80s
