Not at all. But the Super Moto pic is not something I would be trying on any road here. On a track - no probs. All that pressure on a front tyre on a public road which has the usual diesel and oil patches would leave you on the ground. Even a greasy surface - which we have here now would put you off.
Have a look at YouTube for more info on riding - road riding, not track or racing. It’s easy once you get into the way of it, the biggest danger, as has previously been mentioned, are four wheeled or, in town, two legged. It is a dangerous hobby but great fun - incredibly great fun. 170 on Hailwood Rise was very exciting and relatively safe. 25 in town has been frightening and very dangerous.

Bear in mind I know close to nothing about motorbikes.
Is the only way to get a road bike round a corner to hang off the inside in a way that guarantees a little lie down on the tarmac if the front wheel washes out?
