Yes, but happy doesnt mean qualified or with the correct knowledge. Losing a gun because you get it wrong is one thing, losing your life because you were happy is totally another thing. I ride a motorbike and it is capable of in excess of 160mph and yes i have ridden it at that speed and a bit more besides. It doesn't mean i will be entering any motogp races any time soon because i just don't have the experience or skill to do so. Riding at 170 mph in a straight line and i was very very happy (closed airfield before any one says anything). I will not be doing that with a bunch of experienced blokes/females on a race track who know what they are doing as i would be more of a danger to them and me. It really is that simple.
