For those who missed the news in the latest Sue Bradford Abuse Thread, it turns out that Dave Clendon, successor to Ms Bradford, is both a biker and a KiwiBiker member.

He has been riding motorbikes for about 35 years (non-stop! :eek5:) and currently owns a sports bike and a scooter.

I won't invade his privacy any further by listing his user-name here, but I just wanted to congratulate Mr Clendon on his impending appointment to the House of Representatives, and congratulate us as KBers on having a member of the team in the Big House.

I wonder if there are any other KB MPs? I know other MPs who definitely ride - but how many of them hang around on here?

P.S. Who is going to join me in lobbying for Car-Free Sundays on all the country's best motorbike roads? :2thumbsup

So I need to keep an eye out for a bike with an incredibly large fueltank, or towing a fuel tanker?:whistle:

That's that. I'll have to logout of KB and not come back.

The world's gone arsey-boo.

Doesn't surprise me too much. Motorbikes aren't generally ridden for reasons of tree-hugging but the Greens are still political party beyond environmental issues. KB seems reasonably well dominated by angry bigots but I'm sure that's mostly to do with volume (I know it's a computer. You can still shout). I'd like to think the average motorcyclist is a fairly open-minded individual, who wouldn't have too much difficulty getting along with Mr Clendon. :dodge:

Well that is interesting.

Whilst I see no point at all in the Green Party, it will be good to have a genuine biking person able to understand, present, and debate road traffic issues from an empathetic prespective.

Oh I don't know. If you've been following the Wellington City Motorcycle Parking thread like I have, you'll also be aware we've already worked out that personalised transportation is the most environmentally friendly form around.

You'll let them know about that in the Green Party won't you Dave?

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck, then it is safe to assume that it "is" a duck!

If the duck rides a motorcycle, then it can be a member of KB and I respect the duck's rights to be (different) a duck!

We may even eventually become firm friends but he will still be a bloody duck!

There are plenty of KBr's with nice bikes and misdirected politics, I will happily ride with them, I just won't vote for them! :calm: Settled! :whistle:

Last time I saw him he had an SV650 - not sure if he's changed recently or not.

If the greenies would stick to greenie issues, and leave the social engineering alone, I'm sure they'd do much better... certainly in my eyes.

Take that to the next party meeting, Mr Clendon!

Last time I checked you had to be able to meet the following requirements to become the PM:


Be able to find the Shift key on a keyboard
Know under what circumstances to press the Shift key to create capital letters
.....


There used to be a few more requirements but Helen Clark had to scrap them so that there was still some hope of one of her party members ever meeting the requirements in the future.

"Social engineering": the attempt to bring about social change by people with whom I do not agree (cf. "nanny state": rules and regulations preventing me from doing bad things, introduced by a government for which I did not vote)

The greatest "social engineering" is education, yet presumably you don't disapprove of this in general? And yet an analysis of the subtle and not so subtle ways in which the younger generation is conditioned to accept uncritically their role as wage-slaves and consumers for the good of the economy (read: "for the benefit of the wealthy") should make you at least think twice before bandying about accusations of "social engineering" in lesser matters.

well, pleased that we have a green MP on board.
i did vote green, so that probably makes 2 green votes from KB members.

Well, education would probably be a very good thing, if New Zealand were ever to try it. Perhaps one day, in a very small way.

Iron oxide? Aluminium? Nonsense, they have no horticultural purpose.

Tell the truth, you really want it for colouring concrete, don't you? Iron oxide makes a nice brown colour , and aluminium powder mixed in the concrete makes sparkly concrete.

You can't fool us.
