WTF not again!

[WolfCollared]

I was waiting at a crossing on Queen St at 1830 to which I saw a lovely cruiser (looked like a Harley of sky metallic blue) ride past and pull up just after the lights....

Thats all good till I saw the pillion.....nothing but a summer light dress and a helmet. Now I REALLY wanted to walk up to her and slap her with my hand bag. Stupid #$%# it only takes a second to loose flesh on the road. She wasn't even hot!

:sick:

[Anarkist]

Ah, true..

[Headbanger]

So, you would be fine with it if I walked up and smacked ya on the chin for doing something/anything in a way I (I being no one special) disapproved?

[toebug]

Could you see through or up her dress???

[coffeejunkie]

WTF is right!!!I guess some people are just not as attached to their skin as we are, Let me guess dude in front was all leathered up?

[musicman]

Could you see through or up her dress???


She wasn't even hot!

Why would you even want to... :sick:

[mattian]

Who is she going to hurt if she comes off?...... not you ! I understand people getting angry or upset if people deliberately put others in harms way but, honestly her choice of clothing is her decision. You can morally object if you like but, if you did walk up and slap her then the rider has every right to get off his bike and knock you out. Who made you safety president of the world?

[Usarka]

National smack someone stupid in the face day!

Will any kiwi's come out unharmed? :sherlock:

[The Lone Rider]

Can you slap me please. I ride in jeans, tshirt, vest and skull cap helmet during summer unless going for rides over 40mins long or rides with long stretches of 100K roads.

[R6_kid]

They are free to do as they please as she was wearing the required safety equipment - the helmet.

She'll learn her lesson if she ever comes off, and will hopefully still be there to remind everyone she knows to where proper gear.

I guess the rider should know better though.

[Usarka]

BTW - Are you talking about her temperature or do you drink from the furry cup?

[sinfull]

Today i was hot, but no one looked up my skirt !

yep, I agree

Same here, I know the risk, I live life too, and don't wrap myself in cotton wool, I gear up for big rides but up to the shops etc I wear whatever, and just take it easy....I guess it's because I was one of those outside kids.meh.....

Yep, her choice, her consequences, hell she may have just been getting a ride up the road for all we know, geez some on here would have had her in pants, jacket, boots, flouro vest for a 5 min ride up the road.......all to take it off, and get dressed again!

[WolfCollared]

Who knows what the story was behind it, and yes the rider was geared up.

Wheres the ethics in society? :devil2:

[mattian]

what kind of ethics are you talking about? Lets just ban bloody motorcycles then. They can be dangerous!!! haven't you heard???

[WolfCollared]

*gasps* Oh dear...well when society frowns and curses us upon the motorways they will never understand the underlying desire of this minority who loves riding.

Goverment + LTNZ + utilitarianism = us getting stung with acc levies, regos etc even more as a minority.

[mattian]

you forgot to add self appointed undercover safety inspectors who stand on the corner of queen street using their handbags as weapons to the equation.

Oi watch it you! Least I wasnt being my usual staunch bikerself in my leathers this time, I had a handbag, very girly I might add! :bleh:

[Mystic13]

while you're slapping her you may as well an go slap all the scooter riders who where next to nothing.

Really it's simple. You ain't there mum and they're older than 6. And the law says you can't slap 'em.

Personally i don't see the big deal people make their own decisions and it's their life.

You could always slap riders that go too fast, don't ride up to spec in your opinion or.... and the list goes on.

I may not agree that what they did was smart but it's their call.

[BiK3RChiK]

What exactly did she do to you? Nothing! Leave her alone to enjoy her ride and just make sure you look after you.

[EatOrBeEaten]

I wince when I see riders out in shorts and t-shirt, but then I'm one of those killjoy ATGATT-type people. However, if a rider is wearing whatever then that's their decision, it's the riders wearing $1000+ leathers with a pillion wearing a tracksuit that really makes me :angry:, like the pillion isn't important!

[WolfCollared]

Hmm, riding crop or flogger? :spanking:

I learnt what the road was like when I was sliding down it, and Im thankful I had the gear. If I didnt, I'd say my right side would be a bit of a mess.

Are scooters more dangerous than bikes for not keeping up with the flow of traffic? Smaller wheels which means pot holes feel alot larger than they appear, tighter turning etc....

[Big Dave]

Today i was hot, but no one looked up my skirt !


Because your slip was showing.

[Big Dave]

I know I'm pretty safe.

[sinfull]

You could always slap riders that go too fast, . I was riding as fast as my 955 would let me ride it today !
Does that earn me a slapping ???

A few months back, a whole heap of Harleys went up/down Queen st... and nobody bitched then. They do have good hospitals in Auckland don't they...??? If she wasn't hot who cares...

Well smokers pay extra duty so no one can complain about them receiving health care and a lot of HDers do charity rides so I guess it is not an issue

Of course she was hot that's why she was wearing a summer light dress and not all 'saftyied' up.

shock of shocks, today and yesterday, for the first time in forever, i wore SHORTS!
yes, i have come off and know the risks. yes, i have fucked legs from the last incident. BUT! theres no way i was gonna sit in a tattooists chair in just my undies to get my ankle inked. and another but, i just shelled out $204 in acc levies, so i think im entitled to take the chance to use some of that money for myself instead of some cunt who drives drunk/stoned/while txting/while getting a bj etc.

[Creeping Death]

Is dat chu Tana?:bleh:

[Timber020]

Riders who wear SFA is one thing, but pillions often have no idea of the risk, the ability of the rider or factor in the "girl on back I best ride flash" effect that all to often comes into play.

Your ACC is high partly because people require tens of thousands of dollars worth of skin grafts and rehab when they go down the road in shorts and t shirt. But its a free country, although everyone else pays for the screw ups.

just 1 thing when do i get the bj??????:spanking::spanking::spanking::spanking::s panking:

[vtec]

Are you going to handbag me for drafting along at 60 behind a truck or bus on my bicycle in lycra and the very minimal protection that is the bicycle helmet.

It seems a very obvious case of an attention seeker getting jealous of another attention seeker getting more attention than the aforementioned attention seeker.

[Taz]

I rode in just jeans and a T-shirt the other day - I survived.

[Mikkel]

However, if a rider is wearing whatever then that's their decision, it's the riders wearing $1000+ leathers with a pillion wearing a tracksuit that really makes me :angry:, like the pillion isn't important!

Buying a $1000 leather outfit in order to find out if you like being a pillion would be a bit excessive I think. Although, you have to wonder what possesses someone to jump on a bike behind a guy wearing full body armour and 1.3 mm of leather in just shorts, t-shirt and jandals.


Personally, my first memory of pain was grinding both knees into the hot summer tarmac at the local marina at the tender age of 4. The resulting road rash brought more than just a tear to my eye - I even stopped enjoying my icecream for at least 5 minutes, it was pure agony. And while I may suffer from the occassional nostalgic spell I am not too keen to relive certain memories. As a result it's ATGATT for me - however what risks other people are willing to take on their own behalf is exclusively their business... and I have to give them that when I see the shorts & jandal brigade, while I'm stopped at the lights, sweating in my leathers, I do get a bit envious.

[davebullet]

If I said I could reduce our ACC levies by 38% if there was a law enforcing more than just wearing a helmet (by both rider AND pillion).... would that get the support of all the ones saying let the pillion ride that way (without protective clothing) if she wants?

[DarkLord]

I'm in Albany at work and just saw two chumps on what I think was an old blue CBR or something, come barelling up Apollo Drive (which is a 50 zone) obviously speeding, both in shorts and t-shirt. :nono:

Sad thing is the only way some of these muppets are going to learn is when they come off and if that happens there is a good chance some poor innocent road user will be dragged into it too.

[MentalFacility]

most of the time i ride i wear desent gear, but when I carry a passanger, I simply cant supply them with the full set of protective equipment. Infact I only give then a helmet.

Practicality can be dangerous=)

[mashman]

I think she's talking about the Health & Safety Due Care directives... If they pull off at the lights she's morally culpable for not pointing out that she's putting herself in harms way by wearing inappropriate clothing...

I'm guessing the slap may have been a hypothetical attention getter...

[Chooky]

Yer..the're everywhere this time of year.

[Pussy]

Yer..the're everywhere this time of year.

I wonder why ACC premiums go up?

[DarkLord]

Chumps like that should check out the side www.ride2die.com and see all the photos of people in there who came off without wearing the proper gear, many are just in shorts and t-shirts.

Perhaps that would knock a bit of sense into them before the road surface or another vehicle does.

Maybe we should encourage those inappropriately dressed to have low speed offs... there's no substitute for first hand experience and nothing works better than word of mouth aaaaaand if there's enough of them out there we'll be sorted by next summer...

Nope

You can ony be talking about the registration costs of a bike and in the overall running costs of my bike the ACC component of the rego is a pittance.

In fact the total cost of registering all of my vehicles PLUS the earners levy on my salary is still cheap for 24/7 no-fault accident cover.

I don't think people really realise just what a good system we actually have.

Give them your jacket and gloves, why should you be the one most likely to cause there demise and be better protected?

Do Harleys go fast enough to cause damage in an off? :whistle:

[Richi]

They DO have cool looking helmets. Better than my half pumpkin i have to wear because i cant afford a proper helmet :(

as a rider, 99% of the time i wear at the least rjays pants. lately ive ben riding in shorts due to getting a new tat finished, and the hassle and pain putting pants over the top of everything.

as a rider who sometimes carries a pillion, i WILL NOT allow susan near the bike without, at least, draggin jeans, leather jacket, gloves and helmet, and her old work boots. ive given her a pair of my old leather pants which she can choose to wear over jeans or not.

the acc levies are a PITA, but i think the best way would to force farmers on their farm bikes to wear helmets. same with dirt riders etc on beaches. they all get lumped in with us, which is what ultimately drives the levies up. the number of farmers, of all ages, i see riding on the shoulder of a 100k road is beyond belief... singlet, short shorts, gumboots. if we have to wear helmets, they should as well.

[WolfCollared]

So there are two kids riding out the front daily, and along the road no helmet no gear nothing, stretch of road is 100km/hr and the two kids arent any older than intermediate by the looks. Both bikes are 50cc, and there is a 2 stroke not sure what size. Over the road is relatively safe providing there are no trains going past....but it only takes one wrong move....

Slap ye olde handbag at kids thy shant as kids will be kids.

What is one to do?:Pokey:

Get the cane and a paddle~!!

[CB ARGH]

If the worst case scenario happens then you can count on the fact she'll learn why some wear leather instead of lycra.

And by leather I'm not talking about dominatrixes........ :doh:

[Boob Johnson]

Can you slap me please. I ride in jeans, tshirt, vest and skull cap helmet during summer unless going for rides over 40mins long or rides with long stretches of 100K roads.
I also need a slap, if im riding around town & its stinking hot I don't were much in the way of protective gear or even bother with ear plugs. Open road is another matter entirely! :corn:

cos I mostly carry bitches.
