    That sounds great how about 1cc for every day of riding in the rain.

By it's very nature nature it is inflammatory and usually misleading in the hope it will attract out attention. We'll then squalk and haggle over it, so that we'll still be around when they decide to peddle the latest product that you never knew you always needed.

    Boy racers are just another sensation created by the media to pander to our gold fish sized attention span, and the pollies have latched onto it knowing they are a miniscule demographic that can do them no harm yet can be targeted to win the hearts and minds of the gullible public. As usual we fail to disappoint and lap it up.

    I couldn't care less about the boy racer issue, as long as there are vehicles on the roads there will be folks who will use 'em inappropriately, it's just in our nature. We as motorcyclists should understand that.

    But the time, effort and $$$ expended on the issue by our politicians and media incenses me, when there are much more pressing issues being ignored and that could be tackled to make a real difference to NZ.

    I don't know what's more offensive, that we get fed this crap or that we swallow it.

    Your post gives me hope that not all mankind is lost just yet!

    But unfortunately people that are able to form their own opinions are very small minority....
