That should narrow things down a tad.

That's the funniest post this year.

[Ocean1]

Aye. Don't think I actually know anyone that fit's that bill.

In fact I'm not sure there's any such animal...

[R650R]

Hhmmmm that's really good money for a shoot like that if it fits your daily/weekly schedule. There's no shortage of models in this country and plenty of gigs pay less than that.
Hope he realises how much petrol these sportsbikes use lol
Checked out his web presence seems legit, be worth it if you have the time down that way.
I'd ask what the final image use is though, you wouldn't want to end up fronting one of ACC or LTSAs propaganda campaigns...

[russd7]

kinda depends on what they classify as driving offences, if its just instant fines then they really gonna narrow the field but if its court convictions for driving then that shouldn't narrow the search.

[SMOKEU]

If they want pics then what do "driving offenses" have to do with a photo shoot?

The client will be a govt. department & will have put that clause in the contract. I missed out on a desk job years ago due to a careless use conviction, someone was obviously concerned I was going to crash a stapler or summat. :facepalm:

It's obviously for a safety campaign, can't have someone who speeds advertising staying under the speed limit.

Anyone have a turbo hayabusa they can lend to someone with a clean record? "Stay under the limit" (says the guy riding the rocket on wheels)

[bogan]

Is there any wiggle room on this? I can only tick one of those boxes.

[rastuscat]

I'd go if it was down here. Glass half full guys. Get paid to ride a bike.

So it's really just more PR bullshit cooked up by someone who doesn't ride, otherwise they wouldn't care about trivial matters like traffic convictions.

Yep, funded by us who pay rego's no doubt.

[Flip]

I would be fucking carefull.

Police checks to be photographed riding your bike....................

Sounds like those fuckers at ACC/Moto-NZ are looking to produce some propoganda video again showing safe ACC approved bikers on their legal bikes in ATGATT out having legal fun......

Remember you wont have insurance if you are using your bike for paid employment.

[SMOKEU]

Good point too! I didn't think of that.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah...I mean...no convictions ever? Fuck...

[Gremlin]

... someone was obviously concerned I was going to crash a stapler or summat. :facepalm:
:lol: Careful there. One moment you're organising paperwork, and the next, staples are flying in every direction, lodging themselves in people's heads etc :laugh:

LMAO Snap

:lol: You didn't by any chance tell them that you had your own compressor?

[Gremlin]

I was curious (shoulda remembered it kills the cat).

First half of this link is basically what's classified as a traffic offence (I wasn't bored enough to read the legislation :eek:)

Yeah, see I'm screwed. V440; Lifting Jack Not Carried - in my mums Hillman Hunter after school one fine Tuesday in March, 1989. There's no way they'll want my likeness used in any campaign now :weep:

[caspernz]

Cool task. May even apply for this...but since it sounds like these pics fall into safety Nazi campaign fodder...maybe not :rolleyes:

[Flip]

I just want to know who the job is for?

[caspernz]

I just want to know who the job is for?

I'll apply for it tomorrow, let you all know my findings.

Tell me though...how do I convince anyone that I've got a clean licence AND a Hayabusa though? :facepalm:

[98tls]

There will be a stampede of recently divorced new Harley riders for this,there only crime so far is to have left a perfectly good women after falling in love with some old booze hag with "born to ride" tattooed across her saggy tits in search of something that gives em a chubby,will be a sea of camo pants n designer leather jackets.:clap:

[nudemetalz]

Yeah...I mean...no convictions ever? Fuck...

You're screwed, Dude......... I wouldn't bother if I were you. They'd see you owned a Z1R-TC...... :killingme

[Jeff Sichoe]

I wonder if this and the survey thing from the other week are the precursors to 'mandatory high-vis'

would be easy for the cops to spot the non-compliant riders at a quick glance... pull over anyone not wearing high vis and give em a shakedown and see what falls out.

Sweet, looking forward to riding in NZ in 10 or so years, probbably have to have bikes that auto-brake sensors, 110kph speed limiters and fuck off huge training wheels.

[mossy1200]

LOL

$500 dollars in your pocket and you wake up the next morning being the front man for acc on billboards all over NZ.

You can hardly start a new life overseas with 500nzd.

Sold your sole to the Devil for small change.

Was chatting with ACC lady regarding hi-vis (she was at our last Ulysses meeting) and she said hi-vis was not really on the mandatory table. She (and she's a bike rider) agrees that hi-vis is not the be all and end all.
I fit all their criteria for what they want but work won't let me do secondary work buggerit. Could have used the cash on some new tyres.
