Hi Guys,

We need to get all members in our club to actively tell/text/paste shit on peoples cars to get on motorbikes and get out of their cars:

For the reasons:

-NZ $ is not sustainable at its high price and gas prices to fuel those hunk of 4 wheel junk are going to be a huge whack on the ole wallet soon

-NZ is becoming the new Italy (More uptake on motorcycle/scooter riders in Italy), makes it safer for 2 Wheelers. (Ignorant Car drivers can go get FUCKED!)

-Its safer to ride a bike with more bikes on the road.

-Bikes are more agile and give you much more freedom!!!

-Petrol consumption will go down, more money in peoples wallets.

-Just make other shit up like I have done above to get people into getting bikes.

Try and convert people from cars to bikes like how Church people persistently nag people to come to their church. Eventually people will give in and they will turn up to one service. Except with bikes, once they try it, its like coke, you know it could be harmful to you, but you still want more.

If everyone gets at least 1 person to buy a bike in September, that will be a good start.
Even if they have to get a loan, as long as they use the money for the right thing :).!

You own a bike shop, right?
Even if they have to get a loan or a finance company?
Why all the proselytising? Christians and Hari Krishnas are annoying enough, do we really need bikers on street corners preaching the word of the wheel?
Nah, I reckon you are trolling.
Don't feed the trolls!

Stop smoking weed and do some study...

I would be more worried if 50% of people currently driving cages/4x4's/whatever were riding bikes... most people in cages are too retarded and are a hazard to themselves as it is.

I'd be pretty pissed off if someone pasted anything on my car!
It certainly wouldn't persuade me to try their product - quite the opposite, in fact!

lol quite a back-fire dan!!! nw everyone thinks you're either a dirty loan shark or u run a bike store and are using this as a disguised form of advertising :lol:

i can vouch for dan he's a great guy DEFINATELY not a loan shark or a bike shop owner hahaha

he's just really worried and really REALLY doesnt like cars (specially after what happened to kyle (2wheeljunkie) recently

dan just got a vtr250 (what a lovely bike:love:) which does like 300kms to a 12l tank and is clean azzz so yea

definately a good idea tho to get more people out of cars and onto bikes...or at least promoting car pooling to reduce traffic and morons who pull out of nowhere with their eyes close

Other have just got a vtr 250 today... went for ride she came back with that grin you get...

Anyway.. I wouldn't be promoting more bikes, less cars ... blah blah blah personal choice and all that... etc etc etc...

But what does need promoting is driver education, (including some of lot on bikes). And to those in cages to respect bike riders as legal form of transport that is allowed to be on the road and keep you eyes open for that bike that could pop up from behind that other car

yeah, while conjestion would definetly be reduced, you couldn't exactly cut to the front of every cue...

although i would like to see ALOT more bikes on the road; traffic will improve and bike/gear prices should drop (after the initial spike that we have now where 250s cost more than 600s)

EDIT: added bonuses would be more parking capacity in the city, and less road damage/wear, but the flipside is that bikes may have to start paying for parking and petrol taxes may have to increase (or road quality decrease) to cover the loss of income from all those 2L V8s parked on the motorway

Hmm, yeah that sure did backfire,

to those that are sincerely worried above, I am sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a loan shark, finance company or a shop owner. I see the huge upset this might cause to you guys above and a thousand wads of candyfloss that may fall from the sky higgery diggery waaaaaaah :shit:... crybabies

Yeah mate the lil VTR is neat for the meantime, and I'm stoked with it, just wish it was a little bit louder.

Yeah Ehab, I agree, it is fun on a bike competing with all the cars out there, but I might leave those passing cars on blind left hand double yellow lined corners to those opportunist riders out there ;)

Hmm, hopefully we get a turnout on Sunday, if not, there will be just a few

com on dan.. do u realy want more bikes on the road then cars????


Um, yeah maybe. Reading the other posts, possibly, but possibly not. Perhaps more scooter drivers to overtake?, but I just had a lady nearly take me out pulling out of a street in her Audi on her cell phone straight after work in Newmarket. I stand out like a sore thumb because I have a yellow vest on, and she nearly stacked me and my VTR, so close, bout a foot in it before she slammed her brakes on and I went past.

I guess I am just sick of having to dodge dumb driver every couple of minutes. Yes I choose to commute on the bike. But these people piss me off. And maybe, just maybe, if they were on bikes, and just as careless as they were in a car, they would stack themselves, and one less fuckwit to deal with on the road. (Sorry, so cold, so cold).

Maybe I am a bad person Nish :eek:

motorbyclist
2nd September 2007, 00:57
nah i agree entirely with that; i had one girl pull out of a side street one morning infront of me without looking

the fuckwit-est part was that she couldn't actually see thru her windows as she had parked outside and never wiped her windows. she didn't know anything of the 15m stoppie i pulled untill i told her, and advised her that next time she pull into traffic she should atleast accelerate to more than 20kph

i agree wit ehab in saying that dan is a good c**t to suggest ways for us to avoid cageers who most of the time are reallly not paying attention while driving..i think we need to change the term cagers to day dreamers:niceone:...and i can back up dan on not being a yard owner but i dunno abt the loan shark thing..hermm..:devil2:

Can cars ride bikes?

We should all get these cars inside our cars, they sound smaller and more fuel economical.


In all seriousness though, I like the fact that bikes are more exclusive. Cars tend to draw in the idiots that are simply into grabbing attention by being loud and putting vast sums of money into bling, and luckily harley's pick up the other's that don't want a car. Keeps the motorcycling breed pure.
