Can't believe it. On the TV3 news Phil Goff (as in the Labour party leader) pulled up to an interview on a hog.
Sure he was wearing a suit, dress shoes, but he did at least have a Shoei helmet on.
Somehow just didn't look right.

Glad I read the whole thread. I took one look at the title and I thought the video of him shagging Helen Clarke had got out.....

I was cleaning up after giving my two children dinner, and just caught a quick scene, and was surprised. Didn't get a chance to take much in. I'm not even sure what the news article was about.

Good for him for riding - I wish more of our politicians did and understood the pleasure of straddling something powerful between their legs (gawd knows Helen didn't :sick:).
Shame he did not have the foresight to get decked out in some Quasimoto gear first.

A Harley attitude
An inability to wave to other motorcyclists
Crotchless caps :gob:
A Harley neckerchief tied with the knot to one side
A missus (or mister :innocent:) that can back a trailer :yes:
An extra 30 grand on the mortgage (for the accessories only) :crybaby:

Definitely (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/2857089/Triumphal-arrival-for-Phil-Goff) a Rocket so just goes to confirm that the average jounalist here in Godzone doesn't know their arse from a hole in the ground and proves it by stuffing up what little credibility Goff is trying to manufacture :no:

If New Zealanders were stupid enough to vote for change (despite this meaning a right wing government during a recession), then they are dumb enough to be influenced by this.
Extra kudos for the badge on the bike BTW

12th September 2009, 10:50
Watched the video,the announcer didn't say he rode a harley to conference,just Goff was thinking of getting a hog,maybe Goff thought the Triumph was a hog(to me looks like a pig).Anyway when Goff is benched and retired he'll be able to buy a bike,he'll save shitloads with free travel perks,super scheme these wanksteins created for themselves at our cost.

I am no fan of Phil Goff politically or otherwise but in fairness to him I believe it should be clarified that he has long been a motorcycle enthusiast! :ride:
The fact that he turned up to the Labour party conference on his bike is quite normal for him. :niceone:
It was not a political stunt! :oi-grr:
The fact that he rides a Triumph almost negates his stupidity in choosing the Labour party to represent! :o Then again.....:doh:.........
........but "Triumph", he got that one right! :first:

For the elucidation of the great unwashed, the reporter was correct in referring to the Rocket III as a "hog". Despite myth to the contrary Harley Davidson has no exclusive claim to the word "hog". They DO have an H.O.G as the H-D Owners Group - buts thats as far as it goes.
No matter how much they might wish otherwise (http://books.google.co.nz/books?id=mS38Lo5VVjMC&pg=PA631&lpg=PA631&dq=hog+term+motorcycle&source=bl&ots=0tmaJUHFG7&sig=j36J-2mGUIy4AjrAeowAUnQtGzA&hl=en&ei=beCtSt3aJ4bgsQPi68CFBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#v=onepage&q=hog%20term%20motorcycle&f=false)

And there's me been thinking all this time that it was a bunch of Harley flat-trackers that coined the 'hog' name.:scratch:
Or something like that.
Never ever heard of another brand being called a hog.

Not quite :no: the "hog" term came from one of the original HD factory racers who had a pet pig and used it as a mascott way back in the old days... ie: Pea-shooter days
Looked llike Goff was on a Yellow Triumph Rocket III on tonights news
