    Dunno where you got your glow vest, mine is just nylon - are the cotton wool ones warmer ? Special issue for the colder climates?

    Ha bloody HA... my point is if every single biker wore a day glow vest, the death rate wouldent ulter, education, dress code, to much power for the rider, born agains, youth, EDUCATION... said that didnt I.
    Yet again this being two rides in a row two weekends in a row and I mean a 40min ride I was faced with a head on, this time two bulavards cutting a corner in Gebbies pass, fuck wits simple as, obviously the bikes are to big for them and they need educating as they cant ride for shit, a vest or chat by some copper woulden have made a shit of a differance.

    Couldn't agree more. Just couldn't resist the urge to give your cage a rattle.

    I don't understand the difficulty a lot of people have with the concept of KEEP LEFT. I conciously try to keep all of me and my bike within my lane. That means when going around a right hander I keep my wheels far enough left for the highest point of my bike / rider / pillion combination to be completely within my lane.
    The corners are the fun part why cut them?

    So bloody true, no head-on crashes would happen if people stayed on their side of the road...

    Came around a corner quite fast as you do at around midnight in the country side, fucking huge truck appeared out of nowhere. I was on my side he was on his so it was all merry, but the shock of not expecting him to be there made me push down the bike so hard I nearly ended up in the ditch. I was so angry at myself for reacting so poorly to just a standard oncoing lorry!

    Nice to know my bike can handle such a tight corner though... good to find out at some point...

    Very decent of them really, and I can't wait to have some nice Cuntstable (who has probably never ridden a bike) telling me what I should be doing, and who has no knowledge of my bike telling me whether it's safe to ride. I feel so happy and safe knowing this is happening, and I will no longer get pissed off at car drivers going through red lights, tailgating me or not paying attention when they drive because I'm safe now.

    Hurrah!
    The cops/acc arn't just targeting bikes, I have seen them set up to target trucks & cars too. Good to see my tax money being put to use in a positive way.

    I'd like to see more of it, there are far too many unregistered, un warranted crapheaps on our roads & piss poor drivers that need a wake up call . Well done & ACC, this is a move in the right direction IMHO.

    Enforcement can only do so much, education is the key to getting our roads safer.

    Agreed ACC should be a fair burden for anyone on the road. Anyone who doesn't pay it and uses the road is making others pay more. If everyone paid then they would probably make even more than a $2 billion increase from their estimate meaning we'll end up with lower levies in the coming years! Pay now cheap later? Pretty pleeeeeease

    You need to re read the original post, yes they are, in certain regions targeting bikes, obviously Canterbury has followed suit from the 100 days campaign held in Nelson, Marlborough, and the West Coast.

    Canterbury recently target only motorcycles in a speed related campaign where lasers were used in camper vans on the side of the road, or did you miss that little media snippet?

    The truck stops are part of CVIU's brief after all that is what they are tasked to do, any examples of campaigns targeting cars specifically?

    I am happy to see campaigns that will have a positive effect on the road toll, but handing out high vis vests, seriously that wont safe lives if other road users are incapable of looking at the traffic.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Does anyone get the feeling these days that the worst danger facing motorcyclists on the road today is "other motorcyclists"!

    Times sure are a changing!

    I read it fine, I was pointing out that they are also targeting other road users as well.
    The camper vans would have got anyone exceeding the speed limit, the media spin was that they were targeting bikes
