Not impressed with spokesman

[rainman]

Get the fuck off my internet.

What he said.

I also don't think he's doing us any favours.

Bronz need to find a figurehead more comfortable with the role.

I've been in one, only moderately messy, media situation - and can tell you I will do everything in my power to never be in front of a media-wielded camera again. I have actually not yet watched the interview that Les did but take my hat off to him - regardless of whether he was nervous or not, or whether he was the best or not. Besides, he's a bona fide Bloody Good Baastid and I'm grateful that he gives so much to the biker community.

Remember, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

I would just like to thank Ixion for actually going into to bat for me
Cheers man

and ME TOO ....

[Wiki Drifter]

Fantastic job and thank you Ixion.
Enjoyed watching Dr.ACC getting pimp slapped.

Les (Ixion) is a very intelligent man, every biker should be greatfull that he is on our side, I watched him head the BRONZ meeting last night, possibly the biggest they have ever had. He looks rather meanicing with a little hammer in his hand I must say..

Take 20 yrs off and a slightly bigger hammer and i might well have been worried lol

Normally I dont mind what you say even agreeing with some of it but you just pissed me off.

Now I see you are an utter pillock. You get on some fucking high horse like you know what you are on about but really you are some idiot that hides behind a computer bitching on like you are higher than god. I never actually see you trying to publicise this or any pother cause. All you do is bitch about bikers on this site, nor have I seen you on TV, radio etc doing anything to help rally people etc so why dont your just pack up and shift your loser fucking whinging else where.

!

Lets not take Katmans posts to out of context, he DID NOT bag Ixion, he merely stated he felt there COULD have been a better person for the job !!
With him being in the motorcycle repair/sales trade, he would be worried about the outcome of this protest as it could have detremental effect on his business and only want the best outcome correct ?
Then perhaps the trade should get together and have a rider/lawyer on salary who can speak a hundred words per minute and have a PA that can type a 1500 word speech at the drop of the hat !

The OP on the other hand ........

....had his own hand down his pants!

[GSVR]

not to sure about the spokesman on close up???
If thats the state of representation of the bike community where boned !!!

Well done on your first post on here. I smell a rat.

[nothingflash]

....had his own hand down his pants!

You reckon there was enough room in there for his hand and Nick Smith?

[jetboy]

Quite funny that, at a time when a united front is required, some people are complaining about looks and image.

You didn't hear the soldiers of WW2 complaining that Patton was an ugly mutt...no, he got the job done and his men followed him wherever he went.

Now I'm not saying Ixion is an ugly mutt, but for fucks sake people he's a commander in the field and stepped up to the plate when the shit hit the fan - surely the least of our worries should be whether he is America's next top model? Should we not be supporting this man as much as we can, for the greater good? As for finding a "better person for the job"...as head of the BIKERS RIGHTS organisation surely there can be no better person?

I'm personally making plans to attend D-day on Nov 15th - good on ya Les.

[XRVrider]

I'm not bagging anyone.

I'm just saying that there has to be a better public face for our campaign.

Ixion, you were great, even the missus who doesnt give a toss was impressed. You put across the point(s) really well, the figures were bought up and calculated beautifully, and delivered quickly, anyone of the public would have motorbikers down as being screwed over. Thanks mate, and I for one (and most others) appreciate your time.

Katman, jeez you really can be such a negative guy at times... for fucks sake, a bit of self analysis needs to happen dude, cos you can be such a dick. Appreciate what is good, and for a good cause, and maybe all these people, over I guess many years, may stop calling you fuckwit.

That bloody settles it ! I'm deffinately bringing my slingshot !!!!

It's idiot comments like this that make me indifferent about getting involved in this campaign. Every self-righteous prick is a fucking expert on parliamentary democracies, trying to be more outraged than previous posters about the proposed increase in ACC levies, yet completely devoid of ideas as to how to win the hearts and minds of middle New Zealand and also offer up viable alternative solutions.

Les did an outstanding job tonight. He made ACC's CEO look like an unprepared idiot, and won a major concession that ACC would provide its base data to BRONZ at no cost.

Thank goodness Les is prepared to be the public face of this campaign, rather than some of the braindead oiks who've variously posted comments on this matter.

I smell teh troll lol

Great job Ixion. It is a very hard thing to do when set up for a scrap by the media.

Thanks for speaking on my behalf.

[MadDuck]

It's idiot comments like this that make me indifferent about getting involved in this campaign.

But this is a first time poster that probably only became a member to stir. Is that just cause to end the battle? I do not think you are that naive Mr Hitcher.

[riffer]

We just watched it here at work and have to say Les - you did a great job there.

The choice of clothes was perfect. You really came across as the average bloke and I bet you challenged a lot of people's perceptions of what a biker was.

Considering its only your second time on telly interviews you're learning fast.

I'm proud of you. You've got my support.
