    Yay for pointless posturing!

    They really need to talk to the countries where WRBs are being clad in waste plastic.

    So the rider in NZ who got sliced in half, as well as the instances of limb loss etc on Europe do not indicate a higher risk?
    Guess they'll insist on 'airbag' jackets after the compulsory Hi vis has failed??

    So, does this mean:

    a. MOTO NZ wants to go back to being called M(c)SAC?

    b. The position was formulated in Feb 2011, and you've waited until now to release it.

    c. McSAC doesn't even know what day of the week (or even year) it is

    d. Anything at all


    Also, which part of that qualifies as the Council "acting on WRBs"?

    who is they?
    Probably anyone that thinks they have a mandate to make rules or submissions on rules in the name of motorcycle/road safety.

    There are a lot of them.

    I thiink they subtract the number of head on collisions not happening, from the equation, before they add the amputations and fatalities.

    MAG-NZ had a position on the establishment of this quango from before it was established.
    Funny how MAG-NZ got accused of splitting the vote, downgrading the message, weakening the argument...while McSAC got the majority vote on this forum.
    Pffft!
    Swear to god MSTRS we may as well give the fuck up.

    Good idea! Motorcyclists face enough hazards as it is.

    Don't want to add drowning in our own tears to them.
    Religion. The more you believe, the further you are away from truth & righteousness and the blinder you are to that fact.
