That twisty thingy on the right grip can turn only 1/2 way???? hmmm, must make a note to try this one day.....

I agree it's all about the rider and their control. Just because my bike CAN wheelie doesn't me I do...the same rules apply to throttle and speed.
A favorite bumper sticker I saw one day on a bike read -
Wide Open until you see God, then brake.....
