How do you manage to spell a country 2 different ways in 1 paragraph?
That is more an issue of certain countries rules and training standards than the bikes. In Australia for eg, it takes a minimum of 18 months before a new rider is allowed onto a 1000cc bike - and only then if they are over 25 and have a car license*.
Learners (6-12 months) and newly licensed (provisional riders - up to…
As much as I dislike rolling starts in car racing, I kinda have to agree with the logic here when applied to bikes.
A quick flash of the high beams (like half a second) is a signal that it’s safe to merge / turn etc, more than a second and it’s akin to giving the finger or leaning on the horn, or if you are in the overtaking lane of a freeway - GTFO of my way (similar to rapid flashing of lights on the Autobahn).
I’d argue drivers education and testing is a significant factor in it. There is a reason that Japan, for eg, won’t acknowledge an American license as being valid for getting a Japanese one (Americans are made to under go total driving education, as if they were a 16 year old learner again), whereas a British /…
Are you not allowed to give heavy vehicles (buses / trucks [lorries]) a quick flash of the lights if they are overtaking you, to tell them when they have safely passed you? In Australia - that is taught as standard driving practise to improve the safety of everyone. The truck drivers “traditionally” give a left, left,…

and yet they still use the COB (Chief Of the Boat) title..... In the Navy (all global navies) tradition trumps logic.
pretty sure this beats both of them on any metric used - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelude_F…
assuming you get over the fact that it isn’t self-propelled.
Some would argue them to be boats, not ships.
