All I'm saying is our authorities just don't want us to have fun if we had more stuff to play with then maybe less people would sit around on there butt's drinking. Even in conservative UK they're now letting people register four wheelers and polaris's and other atv's on the road to help people commute that can't really afford a car and don't necessarily want to ride a scooter or motorbike. I had one of those petrol powered bike's that I scrimped and saved to build so I can go the local shops and do basic things cause I have arthritis in my legs and most of my joint's the bloody thing was slow as but at least it got me around on one tank lasted me easily a few months then some ***** decided to outlaw them so now i have to save for an electric kit and convert to an e-bike I'm upset cause they promote affordable transport then they outlaw it I don't get it

Someone once told me that if a motorbike was invented today that it would have never been allowed on the road.
Funny, you can register and drive a totally original 1920's car yet something more modern that is a little 'out there' is a big no no.
Look at the Ariel Atom - pretty much a high powered engine bolted into a light frame that has F1 performance that would leave many 'Supercars' to shame. And allowed on the road in the UK and the US...
