Any way we can spin this to our advantage ?

My comment......
"Fairly short on detail to make a informed decision don't you think "The Smellygraph"? Kitchen knives cut fingers, so according to this line of thought, fingers should be trained and licenced, or banned if they can't be held accountable!
While on that line of thought, it occurs to me that "journalists" should be trained and licensed or banned if they can't be held accountable.
Pathetic dribble is not confined to Alziemers sufferers apparently."

How many quad deaths since 2000, less than 60 I would think ?

More than that, I think 23 last year on farms alone in Aus.
( Actually it is the first time ever that farm quads have ever been involved in more deaths than farm tractors, but taken into context, relative to the man hours worked, etc, fishing is still more dangerous! )
MA would have any figures relating to competition use.
"Recreational" figures aren't very well collated.
Some are recorded as car, some as motorbike, but I can think of a couple this year alone.
Bunbury in WA and Mackay in Qld come to mind.
