Emulate?

I think I tasted a little bit of sick in the back of my mouth.

copy the video... basically or
to imitate, to emulate the good and the great... I don't know how that would make one sick!

and another link from the herald... gezz my faith was warped at 15 in the media.. now its down right lost!

Goff met with close to 1000 Ulysses Motorcycle club members to protest the rise in ACC hike ( I AM NOT A MEMBER ERM)

"So he's become a real bikie?" he asked. "There's a real social trend of high-income males, late-50s, to go and buy a big bike." nick smith... << lower case... not worthy of capitals.... cause a real man rides a bike!

This tired, self-pitying and overly quoted Americanised diatribe was nauseating enough when circulated in its written form. Getting a bunch of cliched biker stereotypes to read it out in front of a video camera does not make it any less saccharine.

Arguably the video would have more impact if read out by bikers wearing their "day" clothes to prove that we're people too. People who choose to ride motorcycles. People who others may not expect to choose to ride motorcycles. But that would involve irony. Americans have no concept of irony.

Not all of them were bikers, but I guess you didn't get that far through the video! I have seen it before also, but anything that says something has to be worth something, I don't think negatively towards other people just because... seems that if you had seen it before why bother commenting... huh ;)

do think there are better rider awareness vids to be found, but either way I think it's exactly what we need, why does every country but ours find value in rider/driver training & education?

Because we have our (politicians) ) head stuck up their arses, no matter what we think of other countries, we have to think of ours first, so hitches comments are unjustified... he is not thinking of the whole picture...

The idea was ok, but it needed more blood and gore, perhaps the people talking could have limbs missing or in a w/chair surrounded by their loved ones. We already have road safety stuff, not motorcycle per say, but the gore 'in your face' is what Kiwi's are used to now, the American soft approach will not get through.
