My dad took me to an accident avoidance course at Summit Point when I was 16 or 17... it was a great experience for both of us and gave me a lot more confidence on the road. Of course sometimes TOO MUCH confidence

Of course if you do this, you will curse him with knowledge for the rest of his life, as he's stuck in traffic watching mouth breathers following window lickers and--much more frequently for him--automated vehicles mostly clogging the road, only driving at 10% of their vehicles' performance and taking 45mph turns at 35mph instead of 60+

I thought those classes for some time with BMWs. Always interesting to see how the young people drive and what they thing about cars today. It was usually very eye opening for the students. Most came away with a better understanding of what they need to do to be safe.

Haha, since my first kid was born, I've been window shopping for an I4 CBR250RR with an 18k redline "because there won't be any left if he decides he wants one when he's old enough". It ALMOST sounds reasonable, right? RIGHT?

The good news is that I'm too old and fat to ride one, so that's stopped me from picking one up "for the kids to have later".

You can always lose weight…

Back in the 90s I came very close to buying a gray market 250cc 2 stroke, basically a street legal 250GP bike. Ended up with a plain US market 600 as it was 1/3 less money and more hp....just not as cool.

Not as cool to think about, but almost certainly much cooler to actually live with and ride day-to-day.

But on the topic of cool 2-strokes, have you heard about The Langen?
