Living in Wales we always get the double plague on our roads every bank holiday, and every weekend in the summer, which is motorbikes and caravans. Caravans just slow the whole roads down, but bikes are always the ones getting into real trouble. Just about every weekend in the summer you'll read on the news about some guy in their 40s or 50s from Birmingham, Manchester or Liverpool who came down to Wales to tear about on their big shiny new bikes, and end up not able to control the power and hit walls and overcook it in corners.

If the learning courses for these things were better, then maybe there'd be less crashes, but I feel that the temptation and thrill of riding a motorbike very fast will always be there for some people. I don't ride myself, but am currently considering it to save cash on the fuel of driving a car.
