We got moved back to "Off topic" cos...

[XRVrider]

The site owner did it, apparently (from a mod) because he makes the rules, like it or lump it. Seems we are not all equal, and the principle of this kind of stereotyping is poor and ignorant. I for one am disappointed and guess will have to lump it. Oh well shite happens.

[onearmedbandit]

Seems that one mans opinion can make a difference.





Especially if that man owns the sandpit lol :lol:

No wonder ACC picked on the two wheeled fraternity, it is so full of divisions, divide and conquer is only one word here!

"Conquer", division is a given, can't miss says ACC, hit it Nick she's a goer! :headbang:

[Gizzit]

Yeah .... I would see Scooters as a "sub type" ..... rather than "off topic" ...

But there are no other reasonable scooter forum sites in NZ .... are there ?? ... Here .... we at least can chat to each other about scooter stuff ... etc.

I ain't going to loose sleep over it. I was a bike rider first ... then got into scoots. I just enjoy riding .... :)

[FJRider]

No wonder ACC picked on the two wheeled fraternity, it is so full of divisions, divide and conquer is only one word here!

"Conquer", division is a given, can't miss says ACC, hit it Nick she's a goer! :headbang:

When SCOOTERS pay $750 a year registration ... we will be equal as motorcyclists ... ACC made the divisions.

Perhaps ACC ought to see the "riding gear" of the average scooterist. They may well bump up their levies too if they do ....

[allycatz]

Scooter fees are going up too....do you not read? Yep riding gear of a lot leaves much to be desired but its only the helmet that is the legal requirement.....but I do agree with you on that point

All motorized vehicles either scooter, moped or 1400 v-twin cruiser car or bus should all share the overal accidents on the road equally...

I have nothing against scooters, but they need to pay the same as the rest, have nothing against mopeds but they pay the same as every one else and they need a wof and should not be on a car license.

$50 to nearly $300 on a 50cc is quite a significant increase.....you wont catch me in heels or a skirt either....tad draughty for this ole beaver :(

[sunhuntin]

The same legal requirement re: clothing worn

the only legal requirement for any motorbike or scooter is a helmet. the jackets, pants, boots and gloves are chosen to be worn or not by the rider. they are not law, no matter what some riders may think.

[FJRider]

Perhaps ALL motorcycles should pay the SAME fee then ????? .... or are scooters "different" ??? :dodge:

[mattian]

Scooters are different from Motorcycles. Isnt this one of the appeals of riding a scooter?? celebrate it.
If you want to ride a motorcycle, buy one.

The point is different from your views, we are talking about moving the scooter section in the forum, thats all.

Now about your views, why does everything these days everything morph into a rant about ACC. Its old, let it go cos your figures are shite (you have none). Go and read that mopeds get the highest rate of increase at 200%. You big boy bikers go up 99%, so as a percentage you can see that scooters esp mopeds get totally screwed over. We all are getting screwed over... all of us on bikes with engines.

[allycatz]

Perhaps ALL motorcycles should pay the SAME fee then ????? .... or are scooters "different" ??? :dodge:

I think thats the whole point isnt it? Its not the amount but the overall inconsistancy against all road users ie targeting bikes?

[FJRider]

I thought I said that ... seemed clear to me ...

But thank you for confirming my belief in the law and how it stands ... for now.

Burgman 650 will pay the same as a gixxer Thou'. So Scooters are paying the same as motorcycles. I'll pay less coz I have a sub 600cc bike. That's fair innit?

[XRVrider]

How do I make this clear...


Its not about ACC!!!!!

So shut up FJRider, and while you are at it, fuck off, cos you dont listen and are a major dick.

Jesus man, I started this thread, do you think I dont know what its about? Its about one mans view on moving the scooter section of this forum. Give me a bat please someone.

Scooters or bikes, its about enjoying the fun of being on either....I love bikes and have enjoyed being a pillion over the years. I took up riding the scooter after several years of crippling anxiety attacks at the suggestion of mates husband to get me back on any type of wheels. After three years finally got the courage to pillion again just a few weeks ago. Id love to get back to learning to ride bike but will probably just go with a bigger scooter....point is we ride to what our confidence and abilities and preference allow us, be it scooter or motorbike. So for me this site is about two wheels on the road regardless of the cc size

Meanwhile in the real world me and my moped caught up with a nice but previously dropped gxr who had a flat rear tyre, I said hi, he said hi, he had some tyre plugs in but no co2 cans left. I had some co2, he fixed tyre, he said scooters are gay I said your probably right, he said I owe you one, I said no worries ACC will send you my bill we laughed and went on our own way.

Futuristic design

and, Scooter :scooter::slap: (yip, ive registered her as a scooter)

which i imagine would be a small section indeed

Also, if theres ever an electric bike motorcycle subtype, I would like it to be put in the PD section, cos then everything would turn blue, like lightning! also then what are they gonna do if we talk too much shit? send it to PD, oh wait already there :2thumbsup

hold on sunshine .. " buzzy little pricks" are HER words.... im a hoon on my bike.. never for a second doubt that .. NEVER in traffic, NEVER with a pillion and NEVER in a group.. you would be amazed at the number of complete muppets i see on the road all day (i drive a truck in the Auckland CBD ).. cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, pushbikes and pedestrians.... scooters scare the willys out of me .. yea stereotyping i guess but lets look at the Atypical Scooter Rider .. under 25, not much cash for safety gear, late for class/ work, not much experience, 10 foot tall and bulletproof etc..

im sure there are awesome scooter riders out there, just like bikers and car drivers.. but when you put that stereotypical Scooter Commuter into heavy traffic on shit roads and yea .. Buzzy little Pricks..

[Del Fuego]

Good to see someone has looked 5 minutes into the future :) but I'd say there won't be the option, look at the percentage of manual vs auto cars available now.. the stats (I believe) are about 10% to 90% I doubt manual motorcycles will even exist except for in museums 50 years from now.

As for the complaints about "buzzy little pricks" et al fact is most cagers say precisely the same things about bikers, especially when splitting on the m/way etc. "those crazy pricks are a menace" etc

Fact is two wheels, in a row, motor of some description in the middle driving (generally) the rear wheel... same shit different day. Stop bitching about the minor differences and using them as a reason for waving your tiny cock around on the internet.

As for the location on the forum... meh! who really cares? if it offends you, go somewhere else... yes it is convenient to have access to both "motorbike" and "scooter" info on the same forum so i will continue to frequent the place... in the real world... you know outside the cloud... most people don't give a flying f.... bikes and scooters are just a pain in the ass, thats the only place it matters...

I ride both, regularly so reckon I have the credentials to comment... but is guess im not racist or sexist particularly either so I may not be biggoted enough to comment.

Wasn't clear to me whose words they were.

This is the problem though: there's a 15 year old girl that rides past my house, on a 50cc vmoto, car licence, open face helmet and no gloves. And there are people that have never met me lumping me in with her and calling me SCUM, despite the fact that I'm 35, have a full motorcycle licence, 12 years riding experience, including long open road trips, the longest on a 135cc vespa to the Brass Monkey, by myself, spending 8 days travelling in the middle of winter. May not be much to you guys on 'big' bikes, but I really enjoyed it and it was a real challenge. I don't just commute to work day after day.

Those 'buzzy little pricks' aren't going to be signing up to kiwibiker in droves are they? Most are not interested in the riding community at all. But those of us who ARE here ARE interested.



hold on sunshine .. " buzzy little pricks" are HER words.... im a hoon on my bike.. never for a second doubt that .. NEVER in traffic, NEVER with a pillion and NEVER in a group.. you would be amazed at the number of complete muppets i see on the road all day (i drive a truck in the Auckland CBD ).. cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, pushbikes and pedestrians.... scooters scare the willys out of me .. yea stereotyping i guess but lets look at the Atypical Scooter Rider .. under 25, not much cash for safety gear, late for class/ work, not much experience, 10 foot tall and bulletproof etc..

im sure there are awesome scooter riders out there, just like bikers and car drivers.. but when you put that stereotypical Scooter Commuter into heavy traffic on shit roads and yea .. Buzzy little Pricks..

I think scooter, Honda and Harley owners should start their own forum somewhere and leave the real bikers alone.

Go on. Fuck off the lotta ya......

Just interested if there is as much division in the HT community as the two wheeled?
I could imagine class five looking down on class two or long haul crapping on short haul or cattle trucks with full tanks crapping on...well, everyone.

The Government researchers reading these forums must be pissing their pants laughing. All they had to do was rattle the cage, give some monkeys more than others, then just sit back and enjoy the show. Social programming at its best.
After all this ACC crap is over we will probably have to face another hit. That will probably be compulsory insurance, I think the only thing stopping it happening is the insurance council want the insurance companies to control the fees (eg dip shyts pay more, the rest don't), and I think the govt want a set fee. Don't quote me tho

Is there really such a division or do some people fail to recognise a piss take or wind up when they see one....honestly Ive seen as much crap thrown between sports vs cruiser etc etc....its all a bit of humour IMO

[Her_C4]

Oh dear God Jess -you FED them?? I can't decide whether that was trolling or sheer stupidity!!:shutup:

Roll with it chickie - you are on two wheels and passionate about it like the rest of us ... you count:wari::innocent:

NO! there is never any "crap" thrown at cruiser riders. You must be reading the wrong forums.

Fair comment. Cant argue with another 50:ride:

[davereid]

The site owner did it, apparently (from a mod) because he makes the rules, like it or lump it.

Its his site, he pays for it it aint a democracy... then again there is nothing to stop you avoiding his products.

Well, I read in the paper today that some guy was caught having sex with a horse! :Oops: Perhaps they were both out standing in their field! :sick:

S
If you want to ride a motorcycle, buy one.

A lot of us already did.

It really doesn't need to be a "them or us" thing. Unless you've such a microcephalic conciousness that you can only barely manage one concept at a time.

The reality is that anybody who is against scooters as bikers is working for the opposition.

[JohnJumper]

Aww man, I only just joined up and already I'm lumped into off topic for my love of all things <100cc.

Hopefully that just means we can be a bit louder and prouder than the fellows up above :D

[Leviticus]

Scooters were featured in Quadrophenia. Those plastic step thru things are not of the same ilk. Scooters are cool, modern plastic "mopeds" are not.

Just my own opinion though

Wouldn't that be a good reason to kick them over??

Ahem, you Dave Lobster, have a scooter..... did you forget? :laugh:

[Taz]

Perhaps ALL motorcycles should pay the SAME fee then ????? .... or are scooters "different" ??? :dodge:
People with old shitters should pay twice as much as we all know they are much more dangerous :lol:

[Dave Lobster]

Ahem, you Dave Lobster, have a scooter..... did you forget? :laugh:

Nope. But mine isn't gay, and I don't take part in gay shit shit like this (http://www.magnetos.org/node/6404).

And, I've never seen the attraction of quadrophenia. Badly scripted, badly acted, teen angst shit. Quite why blokes in their 40s/50s/even fucking older rave about it still, I have no idea.

My scooter is far, far from 'cool'. It doesn't even have any chrome on it. And it's never been to a latte shop.

Cmon, Dave, easy now... not all people are gay, no need to be a homophobe, and chrome or not, sixpackback will call you gay (he's a scaredy phobe too), and movie's, well they aint real.

[The Wop]

It has been a while since I was on here and I have missed a lot!

My only question is: who cares?

Frankly, if some dude wants to call me gay, or a loser, or whatever to make himself feel better, hell, he can fill his boots. Doesn't bother me in the least. I am quite happy to log my 15,000 odd k's per annum on my 200cc automatic scooter. If some mullet-wearing bogun wants to put us in "off topic", then again, who cares?

The real bikers are the dudes on the roads, not behind their keyboards. I was riding home from work on the motorway the other day with some dude on a big bike following me. We were both doing around 110. We got off at the same offramp and this dude on some Japanese thing with lots of letters on it (like XZFGWYT or some-such) leans over and says: "dude, that thing goes well for a scooter". So you see, not all scooters are slow and useless and not all bikers are wankers.

Diversity is wonderful and frankly, I would hate to be the same as some of the bike riders on this site. My right hand would be too hairy!! :lol:

As the saying goes: Don't sweat the petty things, but do pet the sweaty things!!
