    Where do you want to see motorcycling heading?

    Me, I'd like to see Motorcycling entice the numbers to it's fold that it truly deserves.

    I'd like to see the Old Guard accept the fact that an increase in motorcycling numbers is not going to affect their 'hard man' image.

    I'd like to see new motorcyclists, who desire to one day be the Old Guard, accept that you'll only get there by surviving.

    I'd like to see Motorcycling attract the numbers required to become a political force.

    I'd like motorcyclists to realise that the only way that we have a chance of becoming a political force is by becoming an accepted part of society.

    I'd like to see Motorcycling grow up.

    Only a rational viewpoint is ever going to be listened to.

    We need to become rational.

    someone wake me when that happens, or up my doseage ... take one look at the government, then take a look around you... you cannot be rational in a world were irrationality prevails... I do agree with the sentiment though... and would whole heartedly throw myself under that bus...

    Something like this http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...It-s-all-right. is needed again to start another revolution - it also went with the "You meet the Nicest People on a Honda" campaign.

    What is the next thing 50 years on from the little Honda that can be that next revolution to get the numbers out there? After the little Honda 40 years ago it was the trail bike revolution. Has our environment changed so much and got so PC or got so "bigger is better" that we just don't want the simple things any more? Is it impossible to recreate the simple enthusiasm of that era?

    Its like asking how are we going to stop teens binge drinking? Its hard to see an easy answer as far as I can see.
    Cheers

    I'd like to see everyone who wants to ride purely for the sake of riding, on a bike.
    I'd like to see those people ride responsibly, and ride for many years to come.
    I'd like to see those people represent bikers in a good light.
    I'd like to see those people treated with the same respect due everyone else.

    But what I'd like to see most of all, is a plan for how we can make that shit happen!

    Agree with you katman, a bit like the gun owners ass of America, they have sufficient members that they can make a difference in any election outcome.
    But when u see the little silly prick on the morning program saying NZ has grown up enough that we should stop our tradition of Duck shooting cause some get hurt and don't die, for fucks sake they're only bloody ducks. They banned lead shot, much more lethal because the lead gets in our waterways. and I always thought lead was mined anyway.
    Don't judge me based upon your ignorance.

    For a start, the BRONZ organisation needs a shake-down right from the top.

    Instead of focusing on bikers 'rights' (for the life of me I can't figure out how we have any place to demand 'rights') BRONZ needs to focus on creating a motorcycling movement that deserves a positive ear.

    That song's been done.

    Come up with a new one and I might consider giving you a job.

    To me, it looks as though you have been smoking( not talking about smoking up your rear tyre bro) You are looking at things from way out there. Just bloody ride your bike and enjoy it. That means different thingd for different folks. Do we really need to ANALize everything in this day and age!
    numbers it truly deserves?
    Old guard?
    trying to survive? Shit, thats a aim of mine everytime I ride. I am not suicidal brother.
    Why do we need to become a political force. If thats why we ride, i suggest you go smoke some more green brother! then join the green party bro!
    How the hell does motorcycling grow Man? I grew up ( probably not what you are dreaming about though) I Got bowled off my GN 250 by a car when i was 17. I never owned a bike after that for 16 years. I then, grew up and bought a KTM 990. Now i am grown up!!!!!!
    Go smoke some more and get back to me. I am intriged to hear what crap comes out through ths forum after this!
    Cheers Dion!
