Hey, accidents happen - don't worry

[glegge]

I thought it was worth starting a thread just to say to those that are saying stuff like "sorry ay, i fell off, so that does not look good for us with the work we are doing against the ACC levy increases etc'

The point i wanted to make is, that hey, we ride motorbikes, accidents happen sometimes with sometimes without others involvement.

So, just remember, our bone is not so much 'we have to try to look good in the public eye so there on our side so as we can get our levies increase stopped' its more about
getting the publics attention so as they can see that the good ol New Zealand institution of ACC, no suing each other and everyone paying into a pool of money in a fair way so that we all can continue our lives in the case of an accident, is being TORN OUT FROM UNDER US, in a manner that is not obvious and the government are certainly not being up front about it in the media etc.

so yeah - don't feel bad if you fall off, it's all part of it, brush yourself off, look after yourself, get better and get back on.

just spread the word that the government is tearing our ACC system away from us without even telling us!

<yeah - ok.. flame away>
PS - i'm right behind all of the campaigns and fully support all the activities we are doing/have done against ACC.

I'd suggest we'd all be far better off if we learned how to not fall off so often.

yeah well - not the point of my thread but since when has that ever stopped anyone.. in answer to you, hey we know how to not fall of - it's called a car.

[Katman]

What a load of bullshit.

If the only way for you to avoid falling off is going by car then I suggest you stick to your car.

I fell off once when I was younger - a car hit me.

Nooooo don't back down. He'll think he's won. Best to just ignore him.

Sometimes you are fucked. And when you are fucked, you are fucked, and there's fuck all you can fucking do about it, except go and have another fucking cup of tea.

The trick is to avoid letting yourself get in situations where you find yourself fucked.

I think the real trick is to learn how to deal with "Hey, that sounds like a good idea" thought that lurks in the back of the brain.












When you figure it out please let me know.

Unfortunately there are a few too many members around here that do with going and getting themselves fucked.

Actually, personally, I'm quite in favour of getting fucked. Providing she is hawt. Could you let me know some of the situations where I can count of getting fucked? (and that have Sidewinder or Carver present will be rejected - and I reserve the right to check the number of Honda owners present)

Ok heres my take on it, Firstly there is no substitute for personal exsperience, so you need Riding exsperience on all road types in all traffic conditions, in all weather conditions.
With in the exsperience envlope you need to understand your abilities, and a little less your bikes abilities, best found in a non public road setting ( yes the Race Track).
Also you need to learn that every other vechicle operator on our roads is out to Kill you, the safest way is to treat them like a Blind Idiot.
Defencive Driving / Riding is being able to think about what the motorist may do, you may be in the Right, but its no good being Dead Right, right.
Now the last thing to remeber is there are far worse things that can happen to you than being Killed, and that is becoming a vegtable and I don't mean being a Carrot you Cabbage.

*gulp* not quite the reaction i was thinking. but oh well - dump this one in the train wreck department and call it quits.
i was just trying to point out that accidents happen and that we want acc to stay around or at least for everyone to yell at the government 'tell us what your really up to around ACC'..

sigh.. signs off thread...
