I'm all for advancing technology in bikes, cars, toasters, sex aids...wherever it can be applied. The article almost presents the issue as an either/or choice: should we either increase rider training or spend on tech? I say do both.
I'll admit that if I had TC on the CB it would probably be in the max setting 99% of the time, but if I had a superbike I'd probably use the system in conditions like rain etc.
Its easy to wax nostalgic about the days when manly men managed a bikes power with raw reflex and speed, but I can't help but wonder if Wayne Rainey wishes he'd had TC at that Italian Grand Prix.
