Congratulations - you're taking the piss out of someone and you don't actually know why... Shutup mate.

[quickbuck]

Umm,
Aaron, hate to say it... BUT as successful as this site is, not every motorcyclist in NZ is a member.....

I'll take it back if he abused you and said he would red rep you on KB or some such thing though....

[Mom]

I yelled at a biker today :yes: Little shit about bowled a couple of elderly people around a corner. He came to a skidding halt and nearly fell off. I would have really laughed if he had.

Idiot push bike rider, barrelling around a corner on the footpath.

Think he got a bigger fright than the couple he nearly knocked down.
:sunny:

In my experience there is usually a good reason if you get yelled at :yes:

PS: I did not yell at you, unless of course it was you on that push bike of course.

[Aaron_newrider]

what did he say??:banana::banana::banana:


Started having a go as he went by cause I wasn't wearing my gear, want to let him know I was about 600m away from my house taking video's back and there was no need to abuse me.

[Sidewinder]

It's none of his fuckin business to comment on it, let alone yell at you for it.

[mattian]

Who are you?

PM me.

Thanks

Can you give us the details about what its all about?? said biker may have yelled at a number of people today...... need to be more specific..... oppss sorry just read the reason :whistle:

[Sidewinder]

Fucking crybaby.

its ok he still lives with his mummy. how alse do you think he gets dressed

[gatch]

You lazy prick haha, 600m from your house and you take the bike !

Classic :)

[quickbuck]

So you rode your bike 600 metres???
And NOT ATGATT!!!!

The biker version of Russell Ingall caught up with you then?

Next time WALK!

This is blatant abuse of the internal combustion engine.

[Sidewinder]

You lazy prick haha, 600m from your house and you take the bike !

[p.dath]

He shouldn't have had a go, as it was none of his business.

BUT you should have had your gear on. Average cost of a minor accident - $61,000. We want to keep ACC as low as we can.

[gatch]

must be fat, cant even walk that far

I wonder if the porn vid's and servo pies were worth it..

[kevfromcoro]

i got clopped on the head buy an old shelia with a walking stick.
didnt hurt,,,, apparentally they dont like honda 900s doing 13000rpm with no baffles heading at them. while they are crossing the road... poor old dear... mind you she gave me a good wack

[Sidewinder]

I wonder if the porn vid's and servo pies were worth it..
dont forget the coke tho

[I'm motarded]

I mowed my lawns today.... even did the edges with the weed eater. love those 2-strokes :cool:

[Big Dave]

Started having a go as he went by cause I wasn't wearing my gear,

Oh! he'd definitely be on here.

[Aaron_newrider]

Mate - that's 1.2k return.... :P Hahaha I don't walk.....

[Sidewinder]

far aaron new rider knows how to red rep aswell, my heart achs for you

[mattian]

Started having a go as he went by cause I wasn't wearing my gear, want to let him know I was about 600m away from my house taking video's back and there was no need to abuse me.

apparently..... alot of accidents happen while close to home. The streets are familiar and you let your guard down.
didn't have any right to abuse you though....... he probably just has a funny way of showing that he cares about his fellow riders. Whats he like in his car I wonder??..... winds down his window at every set of lights to tell someone to "put your fuckin seatbelt on you tool".... :lol:

[mattian]

Oh! he'd definitely be on here.

does anyone know what Katman was up to at 3.30pm today?:lol:

[Big Dave]

apparently..... alot of accidents happen while close to home.

That is only because every journey includes close to home.

There is just as much chance 6,000km from home but few journeys are of that length - so the stats say it's more likely local.

[Sidewinder]

Mate - that's 1.2k return.... :P Hahaha I don't walk.....

far do your like listing to justin timber lake, whats that song,, cry me a river!

[wbks]

dont forget the coke thoi thought that shit makes you skinnier?

[YellowDog]

It was the ATGATT Police!

600m from home is one of the most common crash zones.

Especially on a sunny day with all those bouncy open chests around and about.

[Katman]

does anyone know what Katman was up to at 3.30pm today?:lol:

What are you on about?

Find me one post where I have ever commented about the gear that motorcyclists choose to wear.

[Maha]

I spoke rather sternly at one today also, he couldn't hear me because we were both moving in the opposite direction. Over the Ahuroa hill on Woodcocks (its pretty tight), a left hander to me and a righty for him, but he wanted a bit of my side as well 'mate, ya cant see through dirt''! ...very notible correction mid-corner for Mr BMW rider.

[Big Dave]

Just thinking - no gear - You should have mooned him.

I love to blast around the neighborbood whith no gear and no helmet. I do it to get a feeling of freedom from ATGATT nazism and to dry my bike after I washed it. I love the looks I get from some folks...

I didn't have an accident today, where do I collect my $61,000 :banana:

[jonbuoy]

The safety Nazis would shit their pants if they came to the med, Thousands of people commuting on Scooters and Sportsbikes in shorts T shirts and whatever else they feel like wearing. But then a lot of the ATGATT crowd probably don´t use their bikes as daily transport and get dolled up for their Sunday rides.

[Big Dave]

I didn't have an accident today, where do I collect my $61,000 :banana:

I didn't ride today. That must be worth more.

[BAD DAD]

Next time tell him, "To go AT GATT the fuck off" then go back and get some gear on .

[Headbanger]

I went on an hour long ride just the other day in my T-Shirt and runners, and I almost crashed into an ambulance.

It made me laugh at the time.

You can collect slowly over the coming years through reduced increases to your ACC premiums.

[kunoichi]

I don't think not wearing full gear is worth a yelling at, everyone knows what you SHOULD do (just like wearing ur seat belt) but ultimatly it's your own choice if u follow that or not. I definatly support ATGATT, but i wouldn't exactly work my self into a lather over somebody wearing sneakers and jeans either.

[caseye]

Most fatal accidents(of any kind involving motor vehicles) occur with a 3 kilometer radius of the deceaseds home.
So you got yelled at by another biker for not having your gear on, big deal for you, till you do crash and we've all got to pay even higher premiums for our(bike) insurance and once again the Gvt puts up the registration of bikes, way to go.You just do your own thing and don't worry bout the rest of us jack.

[PrincessBandit]

I don't think not wearing full gear is worth a yelling at, ... but ultimatly it's your own choice if u follow that or not. I definatly support ATGATT, but i wouldn't exactly work my self into a lather over somebody wearing sneakers and jeans either.

I agree. The most I'm likely to do is shake my head and think "hope they don't come off". Hardly worth actually yelling at someone over.

Personally I think it was very rude of whoever it was, and they probably have just as many vices or bad habits that someone else could yell at them for.

Ignore it, but remember if you do come off without gear, don't moan if the end result is not a nice one.

[Laxi]

1 obvious question, was he riding a white bmw with flashy lights on it?:buggerd:

I ride with jeans and workboots and have had my share of AGATT nazis, heres my solution. You see I have this thing that rises in which I am powerless to stop in the heat of rage, people dont take it to well but they get the point when you aim it at them. It gives me pleasure to ride away with a smirk on my face and my thing up.

Whats so funny about having my thing up? Is it not up enough for you? Is it not clearly visible from 100 meters distance max? It wards of ATGATT nazis so it serves a purpose and I regularly use it from time to time, just a simple flick of the hand gesture and presto.

I'd have told you off for buying a Hyobag - I mean, FFS, what were you thinking?

Seriously, I told a guy off at an intersection in town a couple of weeks ago. But before you red rep me, he was riding a scooter, in jeans, a Tshirt, an open faced helmet that had the worlds biggest scrape on the side. No shoes, no socks, not even sandals. Imagine how fucked up he was going to be when the inevitable happened...

[Pixie]

So hardcore, so cash

Aren't you a new rider? I think that riding any distance without protective gear is not a good idea for an inexperienced rider. Not that I yell at people that fail ATGATT, I may think a few things about them - but it is their skin, not mine at risk.

[madbikeboy]

less fucked up then a person falling off a go fast bike with all the gear on?

I'd be willing to bet money on that being the case. 2-3mm of cowhide versus the puny skin that we humans get from the factory?

Imagine getting your face to the road, and then sliding your nose back and forth for a moment or two on the surface... Doesn't appeal? Now try it across your whole body at 50kph, using your skin as the friction to slow yourself before hitting something solid and unfriendly...

I have scars across my back from competing in cycling and using lycra as protection, so I speak from experience....

[breakaway]

Wear your gear you fuckwit, and stop pusing my fuckin ACC levies higher and higher. Its 30 seconds out of your precious life to put on your god damn jacket and gloves.

Look at every single bike fatality over the last decade and then tell me how many of them were on scooters.

Right, Point proven I think.

Losing some skin (even on your feet:whistle:) is far less likely to kill. Though there is no doubt barefoot is pretty stupid.......

Now, if that scooter was capable of instant acceleration, a top speed of between 200 to 300km/h and was common place on NZ's most dangerous roads then the story would be different.

[Brett]

What is your point .... Those who take off skin cost acc a fortune ... Those who die cost far less ... You don't have to have a huge accident which is at speed to cost a fortune.

[Genestho]

I finally know what ATGATT is! Wooohoooo!

True story - a widow friend of mine with children, lost her man, whipping up the road to drop a video off. She never saw him again. It happens.

[nosebleed]

My old man was the same - prolly different reason tho.


good riddance fucker

[Genestho]

But then a lot of the ATGATT crowd probably don´t use their bikes as daily transport and get dolled up for their Sunday rides.

Daily Transport on a Bike, (IMO) is even more so of a reason to be ATGATT.

My hubby rode the Guzzi to work often, daily in the Summer, in full leathers, a full face helmet, boots, and an oilskin. Light on.
Mind you, on the preface to his demise, ATGATT didn't prevent something long and thin, passing through the layers, through the body, through the lung, and out the back of the layers too. Not pretty.

[rebyl]

Sorry Aaron, but I have to agrre with most of the others...I really hope you were just taking the piss for a laugh....cause if you were not then you have a serious problem...just had a thought....bet you Mummy never smacked you...hahahaha...toughen up:weep:

[Headbanger]

What is your point .... Those who take off skin cost acc a fortune ... Those who die cost far less ... You don't have to have a huge accident which is at speed to cost a fortune.

The point is that riding a scooter in bare feet is safer then riding a large road bike in full gear, so what gives anyone the right to be all high and mighty when they are doing shit far more likely to cause major injury and death in the event they fuck it up.

[Boob Johnson]

It's Katman's Pastime: being a self righteous busybody.
Edited for accuracy ;)

ps: harden up Aaron

[kunoichi]

Well this all comes down to the fact that we, as riders, shouldn't ride at all due to ACC claims and costing the tax payer more money. Had an argument about this in class the other week, and me being the only rider, everyone decided to have a go, but after i told them the biggest danger on the road was them in their cages, silence dominated.

Point is, if we'r going to base all the arguments for ATGATT on simply ACC costs and tax payer money, then it's inevitable that we shouldn't ride motorbikes or scooters at all due to that same reason. Best to just think of it as 'tough love'. Despite all the ego bashing, we shud watch each others backs.

I'd just like to point out, that for about 80% of the time communting in Auckland traffic, scooters are doing the same speed I am (although they don't do it on the back wheel as much, granted) on my slightly modified Vespa GSXR.

Now, sit back, relax, have a shit or a beer. A frown is a smile turned upside down and all that shit.

Well i consider as a rider who uses my bike for commuting, cars would logically be my biggest threat. I was explaining to my friends mum who has been driving for over 50 years that she has a blind spot and needs to check both mirrors and turn her head before changing lanes!! I don't see a hell of alot of drivers checking their mirrors, let alone turning their heads to check if it's safe to turn or change lanes.

I don't exactly blame them, in my 5 years of being a cager i had no idea there was a blind spot until i learnt it at motorcycle lessons i was taking about how to position yourself on the road. They aren't exactly taught very well.

No, a motorcyclist's biggest threat to themselves is not adequately allowing for, or not noticing, possible dangers that occur around them.

Lose the 'blame the cagers' attitude and you'll survive longer.

[Laxi]

bloody hell katman! havn't ya broken the soap box yet?

[kunoichi]

My survival depends upon my skills upon handling my bike if i come across a threatening situation. But what puts me in danger is more than often another vehicle on the road (i'm not just saying a cager, i went for a skid down a road once kuz some biker whisked past me, clipped my wing mirror and giving me such a fright in the wet that i flinched. Had my L plate on an everything and only had only 300km of experience behind my belt)

Your survival depends not only on your skills of bike handling in dangerous situations, but in your ability to avoid such occurrences altogether. As Katman says, you gotta stop blaming the cagers and other motorists for any near misses, and instead figure out how your actions, or lack thereof put you in that situation. For instance in your example a biker passed and startled you, how bout checking those mirrors a bit more?

[Laxi]

no either break an arse of a law or stop fucking going on about all the crap that happens to you when you're wearing it on your bike!

Started having a go as he went by cause I wasn't wearing my gear, want to let him know I was about 600m away from my house taking video's back and there was no need to abuse me.

Could be worse.
You could be dead - i drive through Parnell every day like a moron, and there are 1000's of us who run over shit, in that area. Hell most are not as considerate as me - i look where i'm driving at least.
But your right, riding gear is for when you ride over 1km away from home. I mean you don't want to dirty it all the time

[Madness]

You see I have this thing that rises in which I am powerless to stop in the heat of rage, people dont take it to well but they get the point when you aim it at them. It gives me pleasure to ride away with a smirk on my face and my thing up.

Just so you know, it's called a Clitoris.

Bless you dear:hug:

I sincerely applogise for the rude biker who reminded you of your own safty, how inconsiderate of him.

:shit: The rest of us keep forgetting that there are riders amongst us who sustain no injuries if they are involved in an accident within a 1 km radias of their home.

Fuck the BS PC ATGATT nazi's :angry2:

I 'generally' am but thats my choice isn't it?

If all the PC softcocks get their way we'll all be riding the fucken bus and wearing hi-vis to walk to the dairy to get booze and smokes and takeaways (assuming we can't think for ourselves on that either)

I'll take higher ACC cost's instead of being told what and when and where I can do what I want.

It's my life to do what the hell I want - If I die riding nude, heart attack or from lung cancer so be it.

(I'll take the riding nude option by preference)

Lifes a risk - take some

I was cruising in shorts to the gym last night..

[Mekk]

I agree. The most I'm likely to do is shake my head and think "hope they don't come off". Hardly worth actually yelling at someone over.


My thought goes "I hope they do come off".

Then I yell at them until it happens.

Didn't it dangle in the wind?

.......oh i see your problem


....don't worry on another thread on here there was something about riding smaller capacity bikes that will fix you right up

[J-rod]

Wasn't me, but you should take it as a compliment, someone you don't know actually cared enough about your safety to say put some gear on...

The stats prove that most accidents happen closest to home. he/she probably didn't want you to end up as another bonnet trophy.

[nosebleed]

The question now is, have you hooked-up yet with your mystery caller?

[MarkH]

actually cared

Nah, it was a KBer that had just paid his rego and didn't want the ACC levy to go up again next year due to riders being inadequately protected on short trips.

People should lie and say it was a skateboarding accident then instead of filling out the 'i was canning my bike on public roads' option on the acc form.

or stop falling off.

I know which i'd rather.

[jetboy]

Some guy yelled at me the other day too. Something about walking across his lawn. If you are on this site old man, PM me, we need to talk.

A friend of mine rode down to the shops for some smokes on his TT250 wearing jandles. A kid on a push bike swerved in front of him, so my mate braked and put his foot down. The jandle strap between his toes was pulled right back to his ankle. The dumb arse was on ACC for about a month.
He should of just walked the 1km or put on some shoes.
