It's hard to argue we deserve more. I'd be happy keeping what we have at least in terms of places to ride. More and more $hit gets closed each year or doesn't get maintained. I used to ride a lot more remote desert and now you'll find a 12-ft deep washout that the county refuses to repair. Worse it posts 'no trespassing' signs and give adventure riders or off-roaders trouble for rebuilding a cheap, temporary 'solution.' Gratis, I might add! I've spent days rebuilding roads in many foreign countries--even building bridges-- just to get through. Locals thank you. Here we prosecute you. As for lane-sharing in CA...I love it. It should be nationwide. Yeah, there are risks but sitting in traffic wasting time and energy is a loss (only risk is getting crushed). To each his own here. Actually, last time I lane shared in CA people actually did move over a bit to let motos have more space...humans acting humanly? Brilliant! Deserve means we never had but should. I'm of the mind this government has systematically removed freedoms and choice to the point that what we deserve turns out to be freedom removed. We once had it. Of course, you need laws to help keep things civilized and running smoothly. But forget any kind of commonsense rules/regs that prevent our financial markets from collapsing like our government suggests. Let the taxpayer mop that up. What a bunch of fear mongers. This place is a mess, so just put on your goggles and ride. Bottom-line is lead by example. If you focus on the future and consume responsibly, it's unlikely we'd need any rules. Those that over-indulge and feel they deserve everything are misguided. Unfortunately, we stupify our nation by building everything 'idiot- proof' and then spend the next 10 years building better idiots.
