Saving face

It always makes me smile when a a biker is asked: "Has your machine got traction control?' And his reply is to raise his throttle hand and say: "This is my traction control." Brilliant. Bikes don't have to have ABS and electronic aids. Like cars don't have to have seat belts. But sometimes people need saving from themselves. If the helmet law was scrapped, who'd go bare-faced?
