I control mine by using the handle bars, throttle, clutch and brakes.
It's been working pretty well so far.

Motorcycles are controlled very heavily already. It's all a matter of perspective. The motorcycle test is some 5 times harder that the car test amd costs a lot more. I have been riding motorcycles for over 20 years and a recent phenomenon has minfested as the biggest menace I have ever witnessed. So called "Born again bikers". Riders who picked up a motorcycle licence in their teens over 30yrs ago when the test was easy, and now we have car drivers buying high performance machines and trying to "drive" them rather than ride them. The epitome of an accident waiting to happen.
This is an example of how all riders would be if there weren't now greater controls in place. What we need instead is better car drivers, because it is proven that car drivers cause more accidents than ANY other vehicle.

Discoinferno - I'm with you on this one and totally aggree with your description of Zamo
Quite frankly motorists are the biggest nightmare on our roads. Most spend a small fortune getting through their test with numerous lessons. Buy a car and spend another small fortune on it doing one thing or another that will neither make it go better or look better and then drive like pratts and blame everyone else for their own misgivings
Instead of slating all other road users we should all look at our performance to see if there is room for improvement. Motorcyclists just want to enjoy themselves. Admitted some do drive like pratts and duly deserve being critisised but likewise some don't. Some motorists are good and likewise some are not.
Don't tar us all with the same brush just try to be safe

By better controlling of the cars and vechiles using the same roads as them!
Better and stricter car driver training! Higher fines for right of way violations with cars violating motorcyclists ROW.
If as much effort was put into controling the cars, fewer motorcyclists would be injured or killed. Treat the causes and not the symptoms.

Who is "we"? A bunch of control freaks who can't stand to see people riding motorcycles, enjoying the freedom that no car driver will ever know? God forbid, someone else should actually have some fun while the rest of society is stuck in their claustrophobic metal cages. What's next? How do we control overweight people? How do we control disabled people? How do we control dancing?
Leave motorcyclists alone.

They don't bother me. Yes they frequently exceed the speed limit, but truly foolish riding is not common. There seem to be a greater proportion of riders dressed and mounted for serious long distance work these days and less of the Sunday afternoon sports bike sort who seem to be more irresponsible. I find that if I keep over to let one pass I usually get a friendly wave. I think there is a psychological reason for much of this 'anti bike' feeling. After all it is a statistical fact that the vast majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by car drivers not seeing them. No, I don't own one.

Real intelligent answers from REAL intelligent people, shoot the tires, run them down, shoot them, HEY, you forgot the old" hang a rope across the street and decapitate them as they go by"! Grow up! enough LEGAL complaints, and the authorities will be COMPELLED to do something. OR, you and a bunch of other residents could just start a 'vigilante' commitee and put a stop to it yourselves, be careful of the confines of legality though.

I think you should look at the stats for single vehicle fatalities , or Impared Driving before you ask about controlling motorcycles . Maybe how to control SUVs , Minivans, Octogenarians, and Ricers is a better idea.
And thanks for the two points Troll
