    Don't go thinking you're special or anything.

    And yes, I'm sure DB can "top that".

    now you are just trying to hurt my feelings

    No realy, if you want people to take you and your idea seriously...you gotta be much nicer to them, regardless of what you think of them ... ultimately we are all fighting for the same cause!

    It's not my intention to try stamping out wheelstands but I wonder at the message being sent out by the magazines when they blatantly protray less than totally responsible behaviour on public roads.
    Why didn't you just write them a letter and ask the question? Like i've said, i've done it before and had a response...

    Having said that, What's Next?

    Please Mr Rossi, i'd like you not to pop a celebratory wheelie across the line irrespective of how happy you are, it sends out a bad message?

    Dear Microsoft/Sony, i'd rather you didn't produce games that allow for excessive antics, especially those jumpy flippy on the piste antics games...

    and for the record i don't mono... well not in the motorcycling sense
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Once again, comprehension seems to be your weak point.

    What I am saying is that many people buy such mags for the pictures. The mags supply what their customers want. If customers are happy to have all stunts shown in safe venues, then no problem. Mind you, everyone knows that wheelies on the road are illegal, so there would be very few monkey see-monkey-do...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    It takes me about 8 minutes to ''read'' a bike mag from cover to cover, and I have never taken a bike mag to the toilet nor do I need tissues when ''reading''.

    Its fucking politics you call a liar ...liar! (even better is to make public realize he is a liar without actualy calling him that...)

    thats all there is to it....
    If you want them to respect your ideas you need to show some respect to those who have control, its called common sense. Or you could act like a righteous f#@kwit and alienate the people we need to get to recognise our point of view.
    You choose which one will be more effective.

    Yes i know its not a trick question, and i agree that you should treat people you need with respect...but what if they realy dont deserve it and are going to fuck you over anyway? (like ACC did)
    ...saying this just as an example maybe general manager of ACC isnt actualy a liar...its just those accident stats presented didnt seem quite right...

    If you're not going to EXPLAIN when people ask for clarification purposes, then how do you expect people to comprehend?

    i think we should try and have more accidents

    perhaps try and bankrupt ACC to get back at them!

    A big protest bin ride, 300+ bikes in huge pileup!

    There are two key words in my post above.

    See if you can work out which ones they are.
