Plus on MC you have the added danger of wanting to see what the throttle will do and messing up and dying at completely your own fault. And that throttle will do a LOT. I've not been in a vehicle yet from my mom's slow minivan when I was a teen to dad's corvette or GF's v8 sl500 merc to a v10 ford uhaul* as an adult that I didn't want to see what pedal to the metal would do.

*It was brand new, 24' or 26' box, like 1500 on the clock (but still somehow stunk in the cab of cat-pee) I smoked a riced/fart-can cavalier in it and showed him my rear graphics easily, letting him know he could do that one day too for $29.95 plus mileage.
