Who cares? They're not an authority, just a bunch of losers with cellphone cameras with nothing better to do. Why don't they channel their boredom caused by leading meaningless lives into something that's actually important like that chap who started the anti CYPS site?

Me. And yes - they are reading the KB formus - I showed them where they are. I didn't realise our involvement was supposed to be covert - should it be?

I personally think the separate forum for motorcylists is a good thing, a place where motorcycling specific issues can be raised, questions asked or whatever. In the full view of the broader motoring community.

I see that as part of my personal role... anyone wanting to know about motorcycles is welcome to ask, or they're welcome to confront me with anythin gtoo. If I can't justify it to others - why should I believe in it?

Given that their almost certain response to anything motorcycle related would be hostile, I don't see the point of it. So what they are saying is they want a special section for people to dob in motorcyclists doing stuff they (the dobbers) don't approve of. That helps bikers, how ?

My thoughts exactly, Ixion. I have looked at the Snapt website and was largely unimpressed. Surely they have better things to be doing - and I'm sure that pics of motorbikes doing "illegal" things will be posted, even if what the biker is doing is not illegal but simply something that pisses off the cagers. I won't be visiting that website again whether or not it has a motorcycle forum.

Also - aren't there privacy issues involved here? It looks like they do a partial deletion of the numberplate (for example, one pic was of a cream coloured convertible VW with the middle letters of the plate deleted), but a distinctive car or bike can still be identified by someone who knows it with just the first and last letters/numbers of the number plate...

Ixion

We can't stop them setting up a "Dob in a biker" section if they decide to (well, if they REALLY piss us off we probably can, there's some fairly high power IT talent here). But I certainly don't see that we should be fool enough to give it some sort of "KB Seal of Approval". How masochistic do they think we are ?

Apart from anything else when a motorcycle rides past at the lights it gives most car drivers a hell of a fright. I was sitting at the lights this morning, stereo on low and talking to my girlfriend on my cellphone and all of a sudden chug-chug-chug next to my window. I almost dropped my coffee and could easily have taken my foot off the brake in surprise and hit the car in front.

My original thread of "parking on top of children" was obviously just being silly, but it was ridiculous that one of the mods deleted it since they disagreed with it.

Much of what they'd "snap" bikers doing is perfectly legal, like riding in [non-motorway] bus lanes (I had to set my own mother straight on this - she thought bikers were just being 'cheeky') or riding around the barrier arm to park one's bike for free at various parking buldings/open air car parks. :rolleyes:

I don't see what "motorcyclists doing illegal stuff" has to do with Kiwi Biker. It's not like every single motorbike rider on the road is affiliated with KB, nor would we want some of them to be. There are plenty of idiots who ride bikes outside the KB banner - I wouldn't want KB copping slander just because any old biker does something stupid in front of said coffee sipping cellphone talking makeup doing radio adjusting all whilst braking cager. Fuck that.

Not like this KB bunch - we're exemplery, above reproach, model citizens...

My point is, noone can tell who's a KB member (i.e. better than them :innocent: ) and who isn't, but since KB's the main recognised M/C forum... you know what I mean.

http://www.snapt.co.nz

I think it would be useful to have such a forum that highlights:

1/ It is Legal for motorcyclists to Lane split.
2/ It is Legal for motorcyclists to use Bus Lanes (where not marked wclusively for buses).
3/ It is legal in many car parks for bikes to park for free.

We can rant and rave about this in KB but lets face it - no motorists come here so carry on oblivious thinking we're breaking the law.

They need to be taught that our choice of transport and our behaviour actually reduces pollution and congestion.

We could also talk about the things that REALLY piss us off. i.e. cellphones, makeup, cappuccino, driving with yer knees, failure to use mirrors (y'know "I didn't see you." - "S'coz you didn't farken look!") It might be a wake up call to them form one of the most vulnerable groups of road users.

I don't think they are necessarily looking to dob in motorcyclists.

If you read their blurb it's basically a couple of women, one of whom lost a child in a vehicular accident. They want morons off the roads as much as we do.

I just think there's an opportunity to educate that could be missed here.

I think it's a kiwi thing - there seems to be a need here to create "them and us" situations - very confrontational - (maybe that's why the politics here are about who shagged who and ancient history instead of the improvement of New Zealand!) a lot of KB members went on their site with the intention of having a flame fest and that's what happened.

Stereo, cellphone AND coffee, and blissfully unaware of surroundings - love it! So typical of the sorts that seem to be popping up on that site.

It really does seem that snapt is mostly visited/inhabited by those with incredibly poor driving skills who are looking to deflect attention away from their own incompetence at every opportunity (valid or otherwise).

Whilst I think MDU's intentions regarding snapt are honourable (let's face it, not many non-bikers are going to visit KB, and the wider community DOES need educating about bikes, definitely), I don't think that snapt attracts the sort of people who are truly open to education.

Ten out of 10 for intent MDU, but I wouldn't think a bikes forum on snapt would do anything other than encourage a rush of 'OMG, did you SEE what this bike did today' posts.

That's why I quoted the start of the thread and not some of the misinformed shite that followed!

No it hasn't McJim. Read the site extensively and you'll see it is about dobbing in other drivers who don't "drive just like me".

It's a horrible idea that needs active intervention from civil liberties groups - but unfortunately it isn't Gays or Somalians being singled out, so the Civil Liberties groups won't even bother.

You're in NZ now. Attitudes to driving solidify into rubbish about it being a "right" to drive at about age 17.

I agree the dob in a driver thing is a bit off the mark. But each to their own. It's been started with good intentions, and with some refinement I think it has potential.

The real benefit for us (Motorcyclists) is the opportunity to interact with other motoring groups in the discussion forums. There's already been some pretty lively debate about those things we're all too familiar with but this time we actually do have a voice that is being put to driviers on more than two wheels.

There was one guy in there saying spiltting is dangerous and it's his duty to stop it so he moves over to block bikes. Got a response from another guy, ex driving instruction cop from the UK who basically read him chapter and verse on why he needed to find a mirror, the risks he was actually posing to all etc.

I think we need a voice in there. If we don't have one we have a site where we are simply not represented and I think that's a losing proposition.

As for not being able to get through to people on various points. There are ways and means. BBQs are one, as are a vast array of other social events. Just as happens here on KB. Hell I was wondering about McJim's sexuality till I met him last night... I mean anyone the puts on a dress to pull the birds...

But I digress.

We need to be in the forums. The photo side of things isn't my cup of tea, but... c'est la vie.

I hear what you're saying, but my point is this... is there anything we (motorcyclists) can learn from it?

Can we do anything different?

Maybe we should lobby for an awareness campaign... highlighting the fact that passing parked cars actually is legal. Teach cars how to deal with it...

MDU, I hate to say it, but you're wasting your time. The UK driving instructor is right, but the Kiwi bloke he's lecturing will dismiss him for being both a whining Pom and a driving instructor and continue to block bikers.

We've also just been the beneficiaries of a 24 month ACC awareness campaign that was supposed to highlight pushies and motorcycles to the "general public". Yeah I wasn't aware of that either.

It's pointless trying to change driver's attitudes. The attitude has to be built from the ground up, at the inception of driver training. I've always thought that breaking the Road Code in volumes for specific vehicles was daft, because it removes awareness of some of the legalities involved in operating those other vehicle types.

Let's disagree on that. I see this isn't an overnight fix, but don't see that as a reason to not fix it.

These/those forums are great for motorcycle issues... KB is brilliant for all manner of debate and argument. But I see merit in taking some of those discussions to the general motor public as well.

That might be so. But you are not going to be able to do that on that site , because anything that is said that does not follow their party line : motorcycles are dangerous, should be banned,lane splitting is illegal etc: will be deleted before anyone has a chance to read it.

It is not a site INTENDED for debate it is a propaganda site , intended to allow a self selected group to attack and deride those not in their clique. You won't get anywhere trying to debate anything there.

That Snapd site has done one thing , though. Its convinced me that we bikers need to toughen up and stop taking shit. I've got out my honking big chain that I used to wear slung round my shoulders, I think it's time to send a few messages.

Let's disagree on that. I see this isn't an overnight fix, but don't see that as a reason to not fix it.

There is a 1:10 ratio rule of thumb for changing a culture... it takes 1 year to change for every 10 years it has existed. Drivers have been in cars for 100 years?[/left]

You can't fix what isn't perceived to be broken. As far as the majority is concerned, Motorcyclists need fixing as those things are "dangerous".

As laudable as your aims are, Snapt isn't the place to do it. You need a forum started with an open mind, with open debate as its goal. So nothing Governmental, Quango, Research Group, or Do-Good-Nazi oriented.

I agree with MDU and McJim in that any education is worthwhile but I doubt that many of us have the inclination (we all have the time, judging by the amount of posting here) to maintain that type of thread.

We all (well most of us) get sick of the repetitious waving threads so how will we cope with responding to inane questions about motorcyclists behaviour?

I make an effort to ride courteously, wave a kids and talk to anyone that has an interest in motorcycling, but I DON'T have time for drivers that try and give me a hard time. I would not tend to respond to critical questions in a thread here.

I suspect, that as we thrive on flaming and a good fight, that many responses to car drivers questions would end in tears, is this really worth pursuing?

If anyone wants to defend motorcyclists I would suggest you do it on snapt rather than here.

Personally I don't see too much point in them doing a biker section of the forum... They are pretty closed minded about everything that varies from thier own opinions.

They ban/block bikers because they don't agree with opinions, and yet they leave "350" (whoever the fuck that wankstain is) on the site with his post intact after he openenly stated that he would deliberatley block bikers paths while they split, which as we all know is dangerous and could very easily cause life long injurie as well as death.

By leaving his post on there after deleting others posts shows that they (the admin/mods of that site) CONDONE or AGREE with him. This is unacceptable and downright disgusting given the cause of the site in the first place.

Not only that, but they obviously give drivers yet ANOTHER distraction to stop them from seeing us in the first place because they're too busy playing with thier fucking phones and trying to catch other people breaking the law... just fucking stupid.

I put my 2c on the lane splitting forum and that'll be the last I go on there.

Invite them to join up here and see how a REAL forum is run then - they can voice their opinions and not get deleted. And what the hell is wrong with posting a PM on a thread. If someone wants to have a go at someone they should be prepared to do it out in the open not creep about in the background cloaked in anonymity.

I still think it would be good to have discussion somewhere with the motoring public and let them understand our perspective. Many of us drive or have driven cars so we are well aware of their perspective.

It would just seem that Snapt is perhaps not the appropriate place.

These are the very people that suggested I might want to be a mod on the motorcycling forum. I believe their motives are actually above board, I just don't have time time to be a Mod for them

I remember the days when KB was a mutual masterbation site, full of anal linguistic freaks who had a hissy fit if you even considered putting a comma in the wrong place. And heaven forbid if someone swore, or posted something which wasn't related to bikes, and 'those' members that hung about in the general chat sections of this site were looked down upon, and being encouraged to fk off elsewhere. Granted some of the same people re still here, but as this site grew these self imposed moderators of modern values and morals became outnumbered, then realised that just because someone has a different view/linguistic ability doesn't make them a Harley rider, I mean bad person.

So what's different on Snapt? Self righteous - yup. Representative of the general public- nope. Slightly anal? - yup. So why not join in and present a balanced view on the site instead of whining about it on here where you wont be heard apart from the people holding your dick.

FWIW, I think that non-abusive, to-the-point replies to eedyits like 350 on snapt WILL achieve something - if only to make said people realise that motorcyclists are unlikely to take it lying down, and might 'hurt' their precious cage before disappearing in traffic...

Should people like 350 be a little more open-minded (unlikely I know), they might realise WHY motorcyclists take safety threats so seriously...and some true progress might be achieved.

It can't do any harm, can it? (Call me a deluded optimist!:dodge: )

IMHO, a specific motorcyclists' forum will dilute any cross-platform dialogue, by allowing those with closed minds to avoid motorcycling issues (unless seeking to make trouble). I think that motorcycling issues are best addressed as they arise, to ensure maximum exposure.

Certainly. You're a deluded optimist.

And the reason it can do harm, is because opinion and comment contrary to the party line that "motorcycles are dangerous " and " (it) is illegal" , will be deleted before it is seen by anyone.

So you will have a site full of antimotorcycle peopaganda. With a section where motorcyclists comment. And none of their (surviving) comments will in any way contradict the anti-biker line. So , it must be true mustn't it. None of those bikers have been able to contradict it. "Haven't got an answer for that, have they , must be true"

Sounds like someone took himself too seriously in the "early" days.

FWIW, I find it highly offensive to be compared to people who have no concept of what constitutes personal privacy, legality, or an ability to leave posts up that may actually be based in fact instead of common wisdom.

I went out for a couple of hours and the account has been deleted, the motorcycle forum shut down, and any evidence of KBers having been there seems to have vanished.

I would not like to be associated with these people in any way. Their National Socialist leanings are reprehensible. I don't care if someone disagrees with me or thinks I'm a dick, so long as they have the integrity to say so in public. Sweeping it under the carpet because you don't agree with someone is just a touch insecure.

its a stupid site, i just had a look at it.
some of those photos you could commentate and make up a huge story about what had just happened before you took the photo.
Possibly..ppossibly! it is a good idea. But! its just not gonna work.
Think everyone should sign up and tell them waht retards they are.

Ha ha ha it's an EXCELLENT site. Have you all missed their self-mocking irony? This quote is from the Aucklander article they're so proud of featuring in, telling the story of how the site was conceived...


Jan rang me from the Southern Motorway on December 19 and said, 'I'm sick of this' ... and we had the website up that night,'' says Terri.

Ha ha ha ha :rofl: They rang each other on a mobile phone while driving on the motorway to set up a website to complain about other people's unsafe driving. I love them. :love: Will join up immediately :innocent:

I checked that site out. What a pack of tossers and poofters. They can't join with us. Remember the Kiwibiker Code, Rules Numbers 3 to 8 excluding rule 5 of course, "NO POOFTERS! " Ok for some they may be more guidelines than a code.
Just imagine the irony when two Snapters crash into each other, while each trying to take a photo of the other person for using a cell phone when driving.
We don't need self-appointed vigilante do-gooders critiquing our ever move.
Who gave them the I'm perfect and can therefore judge others badge?
Lets send them winga.:done:

Sounds like someone took himself too seriously in the "early" days.

Oooooo - pot kettle, bitch.


FWIW, I find it highly offensive to be compared to people who have no concept of what constitutes personal privacy, legality, or an ability to leave posts up that may actually be based in fact instead of common wisdom.

Offensive? Really? Crickey. Don't take yourself to seriously man. Sorry anyway. But only if you really found it offensive, and you're not just saying that because you want me to feel bad or shit. Deal?

Legaility? - They've got that one covered off. Read the thread where someone throws that one at them. There be links too.

Privacy? - You run a red - I'd dob any fker in who runs accross my path, and some. Posting a side on shot of a 4 x 4 going through a red light is hardly likely to bring the downfall of society as we know it. You're far to much of a paranoid Orwelion for me on this one.


any evidence of KBers having been there seems to have vanished.

Look again. The place is crawling with those darned KB biker types.


Please dance for me..

Ok

The photos would not be admissible in court. There are strict rules that must be followed to preserve the chain of authenticity (sometimes even the police forensic folk get it wrong)

And if the the cops can't use it (I'm sure they'll try , mind), then who's going to care a fig about whether their photo is there or not? Do you imagine the guy who runs a red light is going to lose a minutes sleep over it? It's not even as if they're people whose opinion one would care anythng about.

I have plenty of tossers call me rude names all the time. I don't care in the least, and I care even less if said tossers invite other even sadder tossers to a finger pointing fest.

Isn't anyone concerned about these people in cars taking photos whilst driving? Seems awfully dangerous to me :angry:

I think the best possible photo that could ever go on that sight if it should ever get taken. - would be a picture of one of those retards taking a photo of someone elses parked car, or 'dangerous driving'

I joined that nazi site yesterday, and made a whole bunch of comments on a number of photos relating to the driver using his cellphone whilst driving. And today, they're pretty much all gone.

First time I have seen that site, what a bunch of limp wristed gay twats. It is like a little hug group for people who feel that they have been 'violated' on the road. Concept is ok, but in reality the only people who would bother with it are legalistic Helen Clark kissing morons.

Does anyone get the idea that I do not approve?

Just had a look at it.
It is a no win shit fight.

A place to spend too much time. The cage drivers will never get it. We will never get it.

Actually as a cage driver I find that site pretty offensive. Most of the 'incidents' are trivial, or the 'evidence' simply does not support the caption. I have heard that the mods are pretty keen or deleting dissent or opinion but they don't seem to be applying a knowledge of the road code or common sense in allowing pics.


Looks like a clique of useless witch-hunt mentality hypocrites. Did I say santimonious yet?

I vote we keep well away (this is a democracy right? ... )
