This weeks international insult is in Malayalam:
Thavalayolee
You Frog Fucker
Im just gonna say......... arsehole
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

The Knuckle bones that knock everyone else
The Jaw bones that do nothing but talk
The Arse bones that sit around & do nothing
The Back bones that actually do something
That is not a recipe for long term success is it?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
We have those too. Tens of thousands sign a petition, then the Govt ignores it.Originally Posted by Waylander
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.
The ones that I've been involved in mostly just had the knuckle bones and backbones. All the ones against us had the rest of those. Anyway the only way things change is by when you go and do it. Don't expect others to do it for you.Originally Posted by MSTRS

Where'd you get that idea from. You injure or kill someone on the road and you can bet your sorry arse you're going to have to explain yourself. If that explanation is unsatisfactory charges will be laid. And if you think ACC is going to come to your defence..................think again.Originally Posted by Pixie

Free Scott Watson.
you got it mate. The bloke who wrote that letter is clearly living on another planet. If you picked him up in the back of a truck one day and said 'You're about to get pushed out the back at 60kmhr, do you want to wear these leathers and a full face helmet or go in that t shirt?' you can bet his backside he'd take the leathersOriginally Posted by Motoracer
all the letter writer is really saying is 'i'm too stupid to know what hurts'
Gotta add my 2c here...
IF I'm riding under 50kph, (local, nothing motorway like), than I'm quite happy with jeans.
I don't use the full gear, except for a helmet, gloves and sometimes a cordura jacket.
I dont feel unsafe at all.
I can ride my bicycle at about that speed with less protective clothing, and still feel safe too.
Why is that?
I work in the operating rooms at a Hospital, and see at least one biker crash a week, I know the damage that can be done, the pain, the cost.....
I have crashed myself a couple of times, (motorbike and bicycle), so I also know firsthand how it feels....
Still don't feel unsafe putting about town despite massive amounts of evidence detailing most crashes occur within 5km or closer of home.
You mean like when you're at the end of a long drive from Taupo; 3 kms from home and you drive thorugh a red light? That kind of accident CG? That kind? Really? Never......![]()
Ahem...
I still don't feel like a dickhead riding in jeans, I know the risks, accept the penalties, and would feel like a right cahn if I did crash.....
As for some people suggesting there should be some sort of compulsory law with safety gear....I would probably agree with you.
So long as we can also limit you bike to under 100kph, and the HP, and in the near future limit it in 50kph zones with the GPS your bike will have to have fitted.
Oh well. Cant stay wrapped up in cotton wool for ever.
Bstard. Just like that kind OF GENUINE MISREAD THE LIGHTS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED accident. *still sorry about that - really I am...*Originally Posted by That Guy

Proves the point though. Accidents often happen close to home, when they should'nt really.
The guy in the letter is confused, he just wants freedom of choice.
Motorcling is an expression of "FREEDOM". Safety is an expression of "EXPERIENCE". If he doesn't get the first one right and lives through it, he certainly will begin to appreciate the second. I have and have got the scars to proove it. Ouch!!!!
G’day,
I’m the person who actually wrote this, my letter was published in street machine magazine.
I believe that you cant/shouldn’t out law stupidity and that other people shouldn’t suffer because of a few stupid people. OLDRIDER got it 100% right in that that’s all i want is freedom of choice.
i understand that wearing shorts, t-shirt and helmet is taking a risk and understand the risks involved with riding a motorcycle. but its not something I’m going to change.
we can kill ourselves by smoking, taking drugs, by alcohol or by not wearing protective gear when riding. i just happen to choose the last one
its like that saying "i don’t believe there should be capital punishment for stupidity, what we should do is remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort it self out"
