View Full Version : Image is everything?

Last night, pulled up at the lights. Then it started to get dark, as some huge 4WD pulled up alongside - like a house on wheels, so I think it was a Hummer.
Anyway, I glance over... and there is "Rufty, Tufty" man in drivers seat, wearing the "I'm so cool" shades (it wasn't sunny) and the camo jacket. All obviously very carefully compiled to fit the "I'm a hard offroader" image.
Then he wound open his window... and the sounds of 'Toxic' by Britney Spears came wafting out...
I burst out laughing! Sorry, but Britney really doesn't fit the image! If it had been Blue Oyster Cult or Steppenwolf?
I was so glad the lights changed... he could probably hear my laughter as I rode away...
Moral: If image is that important, you really do need to think about the whole package.

the sad truth is that majority of the 4x4s out on the road come out with ruber that is usless offroad and suspension aimed at road only driving this doesnt bother people who buy them because all the want is to feel safer on the road...
this gives them the idea that because they are in a big vehicle other smaller ones :ride: will happily give way anytime they decide to change lanes or turn without indicating :niceone: and that is precisly why biker gloves have hard nuckles :2thumbsup

Got the 4WD, tints, stereo, mags etc etc. BUT, its how I got the thing and I don't really give too stuffs what it looks like, although I'm told it looks allright. Not much point in worrying as I'm inside it ana cant see what it looks like.

True - But the motorcycles aren't chewing up non renewable resources and spitting out pollution at the same rate. Nor are they likely to drift across your side of the road because the mum driving it's vague-ass steering home from school is texting.

Well, there may not be so big a gap between some sports bikes and some 4WDs. And by no means all 4WDs are driven by Mums, or incompetantly.
However, there is grounds for suspecting that some (not all) 4WD drivers are not entirely competant at driving this class of vehicle. After all, it is a bit silly that someone can pass their restricted cage test in a Toyota Echo, then jump straight into a Ford Explorer.
Which brings it all round again to the idea of a graduated licence for cages.

To qualify then, I have no probs with big 4wd's if they serve a purpose, tow a boat, go bush, whatever. 4 tons of mum's taxi that doesn't leave 'Remmers' is wrong. There are better, safer vehicles without the waste.

Every day around Hamilton I see 4x4's driven by petite women and the vehicle has obviously never even pulled over onto a grass verge, let alone gone "off-road". Usually with only the driver in them.
Arrogant, greedy, wasteful. self-centred arseholes. Should have the vehicle impounded and stripped for recycling into 1.5 - 2 other cars and licence permanently revoked for criminal misuse of our resources.
I would estimate that well over 50 percent of the cars in Central Hamilton during a working day don't actually need to be there - so many with a sole occupant (OK, I'm only seeing a brief part of their day and some may have a need for a car - but not all of them) so many cars that travel less distance than I walk (a workmate lives half the walking distance from work as I do and drives a car to work - with no one else in it).
If all those sole occupants car-pooled, walked, caught the bus or rode a bike, we would have quieter, safer roads; less pollution and less wastage.
We need a licencing system wherein you have to prove you need a type of vehicle to be driving it on the road - like "if you are carrying an infant or more than 2 passengers or a certain amount of cargo/tools, you are allowed a car" etc. No "mum" in any city would be allowed a 4x4...

Your customer is a fuckwit. If that was a real pistol, he is in breach of the pistol licence conditions (if he has one), if it's a toy or an airpistol, he's breaking the law with regard to displaying something that looks like a loaded pistol. If he'd encountered me that night, he'd have been arrested - I take firearms safety and the regulations very seriously (IMO the army is a bunch of idiots because their rifle drill breaches basic safety rules). We have enough fucking grief from the press and the legislators without munters like that behaving irresponsibly in public.
"Some bloke in a 4wd brandishing a pistol" - guaranteed to get him done for an offence with a loaded firearm - whether or not it was loaded or even real - at least, lose him any firearms licences he has, too. What a :tugger: One day he'll fuck up at the wrong time and pay for it.

Would you please be so kind as to elaborate further?
In brief as this is way OT: In Army Rifle drills they wave their weapons around without ensuring they are pointed in a safe direction at all times (Rule 2) and they forcibly ground the stock of their weapons which could cause a firearm to accidentally discharge - in either case they are failing to treat all firearms as if loaded (Rule 1). The Army should be teaching firearms safety, not promoting needless and dangerous showing off. They might as well teach their recruits to spin their pistols around their trigger fingers, Wild West style.
The law dictates that if something that looks like a firearm is presented, it is a loaded firearm, whether or not it is real or, in fact, loaded. A member of the public, witnessing Motu's client present a pistol, could well feel threatened.
Even if it was a toy or an air pistol, the bloke was guilty of brandishing a loaded firearm in public. If it was a real pistol, it should have been locked in a police-approved carrying case if being carried between home and pistol club as per the conditions of the pistol licence the bloke should have had.
Whatever the case, he should not have had anything that looks like a pistol in such a location in his 4WD that he could pick it up and wave it about.
Things like that tend to panic the general public and then the popular press leaps on the band-wagon - exaggerating claims - and the vote hunters in the govt start making noises about further restrictions.
It's already hard enough on those who are serious about firearms in this country - the competitors, the hunters, the collectors - without dick heads behaving irresponsibly like that. If he'd been seen by some little old granny or what if the cops had pulled him over and found the pistol in his cab, there would have been major consequences and the rest of us would have borne the brunt.
Kinda like when people behave recklessly in vehicles, eh...

Hehe, but seriously... Why does having a thousand automatically mean you have to be a fast rider, with no chicken strips? I can see what you're saying, but, I have a problem with that logic. I really don't think it's fair to judge people as crap, just because they have fast bikes, but maybe aren't quite as good as others, yet.
Shit, I've mumbled about this before, maybe it IS just me, maybe I'm not a real biker. No I don't push myself to my limits on every corner, or ride at 180km/h down SH1 in the damp. Why the hell am I made to feel inferior just because I like just being on a bike. Most of the groups I ride with lately leave me wayyyy behind. Thats fine, riding alone is actually really satisfying. I've never had any problem with solitude.
Pushing the limits has repercussions, and I've always been overly cautious of those. I'm pretty sure if money were no option, I could ride a shit load faster. Insurance companies also frown on habitual crashers (which is why I'm taking it extra easy lately). Having a record (dangerous driving, which you could get for a number of things) does not reflect well on insurance or future job prospects.
I guess I'm too serious, I just need to have the "fuck it" attitude.

My fave litre bike looks like a toy beside some of the 600s owned by people on this site - top speed a mere 200kph and 0-100kph in a leisurely 4.4 seconds - and I would not be riding (or cornering) it at fantastic speeds. I have better things to do with my money than pay for some politician's Mercedes, protitutes, cocaine and kiddie porn.
The leathers and the helmet are for protection should I bin (at 100km/h the road is a tad nasty) and the 200kph top speed means that in top gear at 100kph the engine is only running at half its total capacity (rather than 80% capacity for my LS400).
I want a litre bike because it would be bloody-near bullet-proof and last a long time, not to look like any particular image. If I wanted to go really fast and corner on my elbows, I'd grab one of those sporty 600s - I'm sure it could exceed my fear factor.
I know it was just a piss-take, TS, but had to put in my 2c

The funny thing is most people have no idea what they look like either riding or driving, I'm in my mis-matched gear with armour on the bottom and leather on the top, and couldn't give a stuff! if I wanted to look pretty I'd drive my car and wear a slinky outfit. Infact something that makes me laugh all the time, is rolling by on my bike, :ride: you can't tell what sex I am due to bulky gear, and hair covered up and tucked down the back of my jacket.. so I have teenage girls striking poses, and staring as I go past... yep bet they'd have a bit of a shock if I took off my helmet spilling blonde hair down my back, and blinked my eyelashes right back! :gob: ha ha ha ha

Go on, do it - get one of your mates on hand with a video camera hidden in a truck or something where they normally hang out, get him/her to get some good shots of them striking poses then stop, take off your helmet and get some great reaction shots...

Honesty compells me to admit that I knew this also. However, I am most definitly not an Austrailian( you can tell by the fact I could actually spell it correctly) :bleh:
