The reason that bikes in the inner city are banned is because...
1 they are noisy.
2 apparently Chinese suck at negotiating trafic and have alot of accidents
3 THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SAID SO!!!

Yeah, they needed to open up the streets for cagers. (Olympic Games)

Their cities streets were choked with motorcycle traffic half with open exhaust(rusted out) and 100,000km plus on them probably. You can imagine what that was like. :roll:

I mean, is it not legal for an individual to build a car for the purpose of racing on a track?

The position that all performance parts are being used to race on the street is a bit....ummmm, well....loony.

SCCA requires that all cars have a log book and everything you do to it documented and the inspections prior to every race and such.

I don't know what scca is, but the track here has street legals where people can take their road legal cars and drag them... That would be a prime candidate for performance parts, that would still drive on the street...

Sports Compact Car Association

For people who want to get aggressive driving out on the track; not on public roads.

Ahh ok, well like I said, the track here has street legals that any one (who passes safety inspection) can participate in... I don't think street racing is a good idea, but I don't think taking away the right to due process is a good thing either.

Anyways I am off the original topic, sorry.
