It helped ease the learning curve when I went on the roads, too. I could pay attention to traffic and lane positioning and whatnot instead of just controlling the bike. So while I agree they're not strictly necessary, and we don't "need" them, I found it very helpful and recommend them often. Especially for people who are afraid of motorcycles. It gives them a safe space to try it out and get used to the idea.

I'm happy you had the option. In 1967 you didn't.
