All very reasonable.
My only 'problem' is where 'brave' and 'B*LLS' moves over to 'stupid'.
I am sure you've seen the YouTube vid where the guy is laying back on his bike, one hand behind his head, the other writing a text message..... while riding on a busy dual carriageway in what looks like the outskirts of a city. Just watch the imbeciles cutting-up the camera-car to see the environment around this bloke!

I am as concerned about the sort of moron taking the video who thinks it's funny! Not so funny if you, or a family member, is the one HIT by this TW*T's eventual, inevitable, shunt!
At what point does 'brave' move over to 'stupid' in your opinion? You know that, for me, it's when the chance of being killed on the road moves to FORTY TWO TIMES more likely to be killed than a car driver.
However, we started this by discussing racing, not road use. I suppose, for me, it's when it moves from the relative safety of a race track to something as lethal as the IoM TT!
