The other problem is they build these monsters that get horible gas mileage and weigh 3,000 lbs and up but they put tiny brakes on them, so basicaly the manufacturer has made them unsafe from the factory.
I dunno I just don't understand why they don't get more strict on manufacturers about things like brake size to weight ratios, as well as requiring any person who buys one to undergo a course in how to handle the machine they are buying.
