How many of you have seen those ad's they are putting on TV?

I watched the one last night about how people get to work...

public transport
car
push bike
tractor
boss picks me up
work truck

and so forth... they never mention bikes... I havn't got my census form yet... but does it have a space for bikes?

I think that ad is rude...

The dwelling form asks about motor vehicles excluding motorcycles.

It really pisses me of that they exclude motor bikes, I never have and prob never will drive a bloody car. I have a motorbike and im going to write that on the form whether they care about it or not! :mega:

i was asking you, cos I can't be arsed to read the Census form.
Besides, you seem to have many answers to life's questions..

I'll be writing that I have 2 bikes, and proud of them. I have a car too, but I'll be putting that in tiny writing.. :bleh:

it's only cause cars are inferior to motorbikes, but the general public doesn't want to admit it...

*likes how I point things out that interest me and I get accused of bitching*

the reason why I don't think it's right is because if they want to get an accurate count of who has what vehicles, then if they don't have bikes on the list how can they start to make the roads, laws and everything else a little better for bikes...

I'm gonna point it out that bikes aren't mentioned anywhere I can.

not having seen the form yet, I surely will somewhere

Thats what pisses me of! We have to register them to be legal so in turn we have to pay higher ACC levies, yet they dont wanna know about us?! :spudgrr:

It's a plot to show "there are bugger-all motorbikes used in New Zealand so we don't have to consider them when it comes to road marking, parking, roadside barriers etc etc ."

Well I reckon it's that they don't care what you ride because it has little or no impact on city parking or traffic.

They want to know the number of cars so they know if they have enough parking spaces and such.

To clarify this, the census form actually specifically asks you what vehicles excluding motorcycles, do you have.

I wonder why they would specifically ask you to not state motorcycles?

actually, thinking about this:

public transport
car
push bike
tractor
boss picks me up
work truck

Aside from the first two, are any of those others on the list too..??
And I believe in the ad, a tow truck was mentioned too.. that listed?

Right. Well, I went and asked them. Ratty doesn't admit to being a motor anything, he thinks he's some sort of person with large circular feet. Petal and Phobe both glared (believe me, being glared at by a GT750 is pretty intimidating) and told me they are "Two-strokes, and stop being impertinent". And Der Uberfarter got all Teutonic and advised me that HE is to be referred to as Herrenraden. And sneered.

So, that's no motorcycles. Total of 4 vehicles. Plus 2 cages. Which is what I shall put.
