Hi everyone

Following up on a promise made at BIKEOI to keep us at KB in the loop, Chaz has sent me an invite to his public presentation on:

Motorcycle Accident Myths
A public presentation of the facts

See PDF or JPEG below

Feel free to print off the PDF and distribute to workplace notice boards or bike clubs etc

BRONZ Wellington will be attending, and a koha from the Honorable Rick barker has made this possible (thanks Rick some MP's actually get it and pay it back, Rick is one of them!)

This presentation takes place in Christchurch, however I hope to secure funding to get Charlie north to make the same presentation in the North Island

Cheers all, hope to see ya there!

Brent Hutchison
President
BRONZ Wellington

Probably Lincoln University...but as its a 'club' its being held at I would guess Cashmere Club has either a connection with the academic world, biker world, or Chaz is a member.....LOL

Thanks for putting the 3 threads together mods, but could we change the title to something more appropriate? In joining the threads the thread title is a bit ambiguous

The thread title I opted to open mine under is far more pointed at the event could we get a thread title edit from a MOD please?

Presentation of Crash Statistic Analisys by Charles Lamb PHD
is far more appropriate to decsribe the event other than 'whats causing crashes...' which does not really catch the eye as a public presentation by a world leader in stats analisys

thanks

Just great.

And I wait for the Government to determine that the best solution for the problem is to make it compulsary for all motorcycles to be fitted with chopper-guard flags (remember them) and rear wheel clickers.

What a great presentation of statistics. Now how to get the govt to listen. They won't though, putting up the acc levy is just another form of revenue collection. I really enjoyed the presentation and found it very imformative.
