Speeding....

[Deano]

I was thinking about how the Govt collects stats on causes of vehicle accidents, and in particular, stats relating to when a motorbike runs off the road with no other vehicles about.

These are usually categorised as the riders fault, and in most cases I would suspect speed (too fast for conditions, or simply toooo fast) would be the predominant factor.

So, hypothetically speaking, what if, whenever a biker ran off the road (bend or whatever), they said to the investigating Police Officer that
1. a bee/insect hit them in the eye
2. they had a sneezing fit, or
3. they can't remember anything but think that they may have fallen asleep.

How then would the accident be categorised in terms of causal factors ?

Surely not speed:innocent: ........am I on to something here or what ...?:gob:

[bobsmith]

and stupid NZ plods will record them all as speed related since....

1. If you were going slower, the insect/bee might have gone around you or it wouldn't have hurt so much.

2. if you were going slower, you could have stopped safely (try walking pace...)

3. if you were going to fall asleep, you should have been stopped - so any speed is too much speed....

and so on....

not that they care what the riders will say anyway....

Turkeys are the bird used up here to cover accidents often.


Dover blamed the sun for looping one of his didnt he?

Or if your real slow, you have bugsplats on the back of your helmet ?

[spudchucka]

Number 3 will probably get you charged with careless, the first two would be reasonable explanations.

Wotchu talkin bout willis?

I was blinded by the light........

I can see an epidemic of bee stings and sneezing fits coming up.
The cops will set up an Apiary squad and a Respiratory diseases division to investigate.

Cheers for the heads up Spud.

Stats....lies.
EG 16% of fatal accidents are caused by drunk drivers...therefore 84% are caused by sober drivers. Therefore sober drivers are MUCH more dangerous and we have to get them off our roads!!

What about having the big O while riding the bike and you um crash?

[The_Dover]

You shouldn't be riding with a wide on.

There are all sorts of suction and air braking risks involved.

but he's had a lot of practise, both at creating scenarios, and working out how to explain them... :yes:

blame something on the road... often that would be a pretty easy one...

That's actually a real syndrome for some women. Apparently it is a terrible affliction. Uncontrollable orgasms.

On another note, I wonder if that's why some women ride horses and V-Twins ?

Well a girl sat on my bike today (with my permission) and I started it. She was all sweet, then I revved it to about 10,000rpm and she smiled, sat for a sec or two, then got off and walked away when I asked if she liked it. And mine is only a 250 V-Twin. :blip:

She would have been more impressed if it was a 1000

Yeah but me not allowed one of them impressive things:no: Get the restricted on Monday though, so there's one step closer to my dream bike at the moment. That being an SV1000S

A purely non-scientific test I did showed that 4's just don't cut it in the vibe stakes for women, Harley's, surprisingly, were a bit ho hum. But the Rocket, now that brought a dirty grin to her face.

Once worked with a young female type who told me she use to warm up her boyfriends iron-head H-D Sporty chopper.

All technicaly minded like I asked how long did she warm it up for.

She said "Oh, just until the seat got so slippery that I started to slide off......:gob:

Oil leak?:wait:

[scumdog]

Oil leak?:wait:

I suppose if you were tactfull you COULD refer to it as that....:blip:


Would be a strange type of bike that gets engine-oil onto TOP of seat:gob:

[Squeak the Rat]

Might be fish oil - stops rust

I managed that easily enough - bought a bottle of oil before realising I'd have to bungy it onto the pillion seat to get it home ... and it leaked :(
