Being the President of the Wanaka Motorcycle Club I have instigated a lot of submissions with our 55 members putting in their own as well as mine and the submission on behalf of the WMC.

We have our monthly meeting tonight with the hot topic of ACC so we expect more to come from that.

Thanks to fello KBers for info, Parliament emails and contacts as well as a much broader base of information which is making it worth while.

Keep it all going gents as it will be worth while !!!

Every submission and bit of noise will make a huge difference.

What makes you think that most motorcycle accidents are caused by other motorists?

Did you bother to find out the facts before talking to the media...???

mis-conspeption around 50% of bike accidents involved with another vehicle
67% of those are the other vehicles fault...

But going by that 43% or accidents recorded in in Auckand and ChCh did not even record the size of the bike let alone get all the data correct then there is margin of error... both ways

Yes I did, based on fact...You,.. What have you done to promote M/C ing?

Nicer reply this time too, I see the mods deleted your nasty shots calling me a fuckwit.

[dipshit]

What facts? It wasn't just something you read on a BRONZ web page was it?

Show me your backing for the claim?

Or are you like this other "genius" that thinks the statistics would back his claim. But didn't actually bother to find out first.

Ha! You sound like that fellow on the TV ad "Save me from these geniuses".

[PirateJafa]

He gets angry and abusive on the internet a lot.

But actually doing something that would have a benefit to motorcycling would involve some work and effort, which - needless to say - rules him out.

Edit: Oh, the Tall Poppy syndrome is one of the things that makes New Zealand such a... "nice" place to live.

[YellowDog]

Nice work Monstaman.

I have heard a number of bikers contributing to the Newtalk ZB phone ins too.

Is Mr Dipshit in favour of the proposed hike in the ACC contribution on our Regos?

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Is Mr Dipshit in favour of the proposed hike in the ACC contribution on our Regos?

apparently so...

[Monstaman]

Or are you like this other "genius"]

You're a winner eh, just carry on like you seem to do in all threads contributing nothing but BS and anger and standing up to your name which you do well.

How do people like you make it into the gene pool and more to the point how do we eject you from it!

Happy trolling L... go bug someone who cares.

PirateJafa, YellowDog and NighthawkNZ, cheers for the props lets hope the good work get us somewhere in the system

No, he's simply trying to warn us assertions that cars cause most bike accidents are not supported by the data. It's a statement which appears daily on this forum but from my reading of MOT and ACC stats, its wrong.

There are two problems with making an ill-founded submission:

1. Your whole submission, which may otherwise contain excellent points, is tainted by one incorrect statement. Accordingly it will be of little influence.

2. Blaming car drivers for motorcycle accidents pits one group of road users against another. And who comprises the vast majority? And what group will most MPs fall into......? Basically its an argument which won't gain much sympathy.

Seriously, were you hugged enough as a child?

[dipshit]

Seriously, i am utterly convinced your average motorcyclist is as thick as two planks.

What I am doing, is *NOT* writing to my local newspaper going - "waaaaa, it's all the car drivers fault, waaaa."... and making all motorcyclists look like a bunch of fuckwits.

Please, with your limited intelligence - do not write a load of whingeing bullshit in which you have no idea what you are talking about to any form of media. You lot are more than likely doing more harm than good in the long run

And I fully realise most of you will be to thick to grasp this.
