Not impressed with spokesman

I thought Ixion's mild mannered approach should have appealed to a general population who would have expected some be-leathered heavy-booted creature to speak in biker jargon. Instead they saw and heard a quiet man, complete with a very twee vest/cardy? who wasn't at all what they probably expected, espceially with Sainsbury's intro about "making bikers angry" bait.

You did great Ixion, for all the bikers in Aotearoa, mana, you got my support all the way, screw this troll. Kia Kaha

**merv** · 22nd October 2009, 21:34

Well done Ixion, and crikey what a bunch of knockers here. Why don't all you negative people go knock over someone else's poppies?

Hehehe, well I do like my leather, and my bike boots are pretty heavy!

All we ever seem to see of bikers on tv are either gang members or black leathered creatures straight from biker movies from the 70s. It was refreshing to see a "Clark Kent" version.

Don't be mistaken. Most of you are fighting for a few extra dollars being taken out of your pockets. Some of us are fighting for a whole lot more.

All I'm saying is we need the best person for the job. If you don't like my opinion tough shit.

Who is your man of the moment.Where is he,what does he do ,what does he know amd most importantly WHO does he know.If you do not have these answers please tell me that you know someone who knows of this saint who will save us.Until your man reveals himself i will stick with Mr Mason

"Some of us are fighting for a whole lot more." Pray tell....

I too would seriously hope that Klingon takes on a more public role.

I think she carried herself very well at last nights meeting and I think a woman presenting our case would go down extremely well with the public.

Sorry Katman, this time you are definitely not with the programme, you don't have to be, thats your right.
But here and now Ixion/Les is our front man our total and unconditional support for him is paramount.
Amazing job there Les, 100% from here mate.

Ixion's great for rallying the motorcycling troops.

Rallying the public should be someone elses job.

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.

Well done Ixon, you did a fantastic job! Thanks for standing up for me, I couldn't be more greatful!

Best post of the tread!

LES mate.... oh mate well done

Salutations, fuckin AWESOME
Perfect
No Professional Media presenter could have POSSIBLY caught our needs and tone better

KATMAN you really can be a totally anal retentive fuckhead at times and agreeing with the smurf that started this thread makes you irretrievably beyond any respect I could ever have shown you

Tonight I hosted a meeting that had HOG, Ulysses, WIMA and our own Nasty all basically IN tune and moving forward
Les was on TV, and mate that was FUCKING awesome Les

What the hell have you arranged as yet KM?
WHAT

Dont diss Les for being himself on National TV

If you were best mates with Canpbell him self, and he would do it in leathers and sitting on my Ducati, I would still have picked Les

Unite KB
15-17 November

We can win, we already have a real strong public case.....
My BOSS hates motorcycles with a passion, and he is on our side
I had cars holler 'ACC SUX ASS' at me all over the Valley these last few days

Its gonna happen folks......

There are 2 dirt cheap Ferry deals each way for our Southern contingent (thanks guys huge commitment)

The numbers we are hearing from Aucks is awesome!!!!

KB, tonight I am PROUD of Les, and all of you who are DOING it

Rest of you can fuck off, I wouldnt let ya lick my cheese off

It's worth watching tonight's Close Up on line if you get the chance. Last night (Campbell Live) was one of the most challenging situations an interviewee can find themselves in - talking at a piece of machinery while the interviewer is somewhere else altogether. It can make the most confident speaker look shifty and uncomfortable.

On Close up this evening Ixion did us all proud. He's my hero

Thank you, I appreciate your vote of confidence. I would like to make it absolutely clear that I would not have done as good a job as Ixion on the telly tonight. He has a level of knowledge, experience and wisdom that I can only hope to have by the time I am as ancient as him.
