It's a real no brainer that bikes deaths have climbed since 1999 or whenever their stats started in the submission.
Bike sales are going through the roof yet deaths haven't anywhere near matched these percentages.
Some things could definitely be improved regarding the novice riders licensing system by making it much harder to get one in the first place. Gone are the days when you could easily kill a couple of dirt bikes in first gear in the bush learning what you could or couldn't do on one.
Then of course there's the reason we all bought a bike in the first place isn't there. We aren't conformists and no number plate is going to change that. Pardon me for borrowing a line from the "Worlds fastest Indian" which goes something like....
"I live more in five minutes than some people live in a life time"
When he was asked why he rode.
