Regarding a lack of hero`s or involvement ?

Yes i totally think it is, to be honest.

For the last couple of years, have had a lot to do with the youngsters competing in the aprilia superteens at the MRO meetings.Great kids who have learned a sense of value,achievement no matter where they finnish, made good friends and know how to conduct themselves with everyone around them. Many have graduated from the mini-moto scene too.

Now i`m not saying that its just motorcycle racing but i truly think it helps if parents involve themselves as a family in a hobby be it football, karting, swimming... ???? You name it.

I really believe thats where the kids get the grounding that helps make them better people.
there are a lot of great kids out there sadly at times, its just the baduns ! we get to hear about.

There does come a time tho where kids have to make their own decisions and accept the responsibility for them also.

Rant over !

cheers,
