Stephen

[Maha]

Well Les does have a radio face.....:woohoo:

See ya tonight Lessy....:yes:

[riffer]

Listening too.

Excellent stuff Les!

You've even got the cage-driving bigots at work here listening!

[Naki Rat]

That was brilliant Les. Well presented and sympathically interviewed by Jim Mora

Link here (http://static.radionz.net.nz/assets/audio_item/0014/2117300/aft-20091104-1410-Bike_Rage-m048.asx)

Bloody well done :woohoo:

[StoneY]

There a web stream of this?
Not too sure if Talkback has some form of web-stream regarding the days guests?

[YellowDog]

I didn't hear it, but will be keen to.

[Ixion]

Maybe here (http://www.radionz.co.nz/podcasts/afternoons.rss). not there yet though. But the programme was radio NZ 'Afternoons'

He was pretty sympathetic . Fed lots of nice easy questions

[Ixion]

Yes, it's up now

[k2w3]

Just listened to your link. Nicely done. Jim deserves an honourary mention in the Good Bastards list.

[carbonhed]

Well done Ixion! That was brilliant.

[Maha]

Hey yeah, the more demerit points you have the more you pay, now I like that idea!!

[Waxxa]

you're are legend Les...well spoken

Damn the Levies...see you all in Wellington

[k2w3]

Damn them! Damn them all to hell!

That's the 2nd Charlton Heston quote I've posted in as many days.

[Jantar]

Even simpler is just a surcharge on traffic fines. Add a 100% surcharge on traffic fines which is directed to the ACC account and there isn't even a need for the administration costs of seperately charging everyone's licence.

[Bald Eagle]

Yes, it's up now

Excellent work loved the 8 year olds arithmetic lesson

[NighthawkNZ]

Even simpler is just a surcharge on traffic fines. Add a 100% surcharge on traffic fines which is directed to the ACC account

Thats what I have also said... and they would make millions... over a period of time they should be able to lower the actual levy's for cars and bikes as most would be made this way... (i can't find figures anywhere yet to work out how much was earnt via traffic infringments to do any calculations)

and also small $5 levy on the WoF would also generate well over 42m a year

Simply put there are better ways of raising the required funds they are wanting, other than just targeting one small group.

That is better....dont know about the 100% but certainly a percentage of the fine, comes down to, if you want to risk your life then be prepeared to pay for that risk (if indeed you get caught)....a 'risk surcharge' if you will?

[wingnutt]

very well done les, congrats,

cheers,

bob

[Ozzie]

Awesome Les, clear, concise, not us v's them, wickedly done big ups!

[YellowDog]

Les mate, your relaxed style does you and us all credit.

The impartial message from listeners would be that the proposals don't seem to be fair and BRONZ is seeking clarification/correction to a fairer system.

I suspect we are quite lucky that the proposals are as outrageous as they are.

[klingon]

This guy should be our spokesperson. He makes a lot of sense for a Neanderthal.

[riffer]

Meh. He's not as good as Ixion. :oi-grr:

[Ronin]

Awesome Les. Represented us very well indeed.

link broken

[MadDuck]

He's not as good as Ixion. :oi-grr:

Thats what I reckon :cool:

[phred]

Well done that man.
Excellent work. Very pleased with my decision to join BRONZ

[Pixie]

Damn them! Damn them all to hell!

That's the 2nd Charlton Heston quote I've posted in as many days.

"Get your hands of me you damn dirty ACC"

[Blackbird]

Thanks for that Les, beautifully clear and eloquent. Job exceptionally well done:2thumbsup

Geoff

[Chisanga]

Excellent job Les,

You speak very well and with reasoned arguments. Difficult to see how anyone could object to anything you said

James

[yungatart]

Nicely done Les!
Glad you are representing us!:headbang:

[Pedrostt500]

Would some one like to approach student radio to be interviewd a little closer to the 17th.

[FastBikeGear]

Les, brilliant work sir!

Superbly done!

[325rocket]

well done, again.

[knuckles24]

That was bloody well done Les, keep it up :headbang:

[rickstv]

Well done Sir Les.:cool:

[oldrider]

That is better....dont know about the 100% but certainly a percentage of the fine, comes down to, if you want to risk your life then be prepeared to pay for that risk (if indeed you get caught)....a 'risk surcharge' if you will?

Does this mean that you now agree with the Police in their assertions that "speed kills"? Speeding is risky etc?

Do we now agree that police have been correct all along focussing on speed?

Historic reading on KB would suggest that this is a big turn around for the average KB'r, including me!

Where should we go to to surrender our Radar detectors then? :dodge: Will there be an amnesty? :weep:

PS: Well done Les!

[PhantasmNZ]

good on ya Les - couldn't imagine a better spokesperson.. (for a Neanderthal ;) )

[scissorhands]

That DJ had some super subtle double speak going on.

I've heard those radio NZ jockeys get bitchy with ozzies cause of the way they talk. Very ugly radio. Its like a voicist tory rant or an example of voicism.

Sort of like big bikers sizist attitude to scooters:blink:

[Ms Piggy]

Well done Les!! Give that man an alcoholic beverage of his choosing!


Would some one like to approach student radio to be interviewd a little closer to the 17th.

Do you know who we approach there? I sent an email out to National Radio - which I hope is what lead to the interview of Les! I'm happy to send a similar email to student radio as well. :2thumbsup

[Conquiztador]

Yes, it's up now

Here (http://podcast.radionz.co.nz/aft/aft-20091104-1410-Bike_Rage-048.mp3)

"We asked a 8yo to calculate 3mill x 77 and..." If that was taken from my letter to Chris Tremain I am honoured. If not then clearly others have clever 8yo's too.

Well spoken Les! Resepect!

[Ixion]

I think it may have been. Though I think I used "a five year old could work it out" on the Closeup gig.

I'm trying to organise an 8 year old for the 17th.

[Sidewinder]

so how did it go?

[Conquiztador]

I think it may have been. Though I think I used "a five year old could work it out" on the Closeup gig.

I'm trying to organise an 8 year old for the 17th.

I would bring Vinny, it would be a 3 1/2 hour ride, and a 5 am get up... But he would LOVE it! AND he is a biker.

But also unpredictable. Today when we were at my 12 yo's violin concert Vinny grabbed my black suit jacket, put it on, and started walking around the crowd. He would stop at people, open the too big jacket and look them in the face and say: "You wanna to buy a watch?"

[Ixion]

Did he sell any? That's my sort of kid! Hold that thought.

[ducatilover]

Good on you Ixion! :Punk:
