If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
I like the idea of a street parade. Has possibilities. You kno there are circles of 'friends' where biker gear is definatly desirable?

Sorry this isnt a thread hijack, but reading this post, there is a recent road modification that was really done with ZERO motorcycle safety/ road use considered.
The new roundabout at the bottom of the bell road, Wainui' hill off ramp/exit junction, This was/is a T intersection where the major road turned 90deg's to the left, and the minor road was in efffect a 'straight on' right turn. Apologies if the description confuses anyone... but it is accurate. The powers that be in their wisdom decided a roundabout was a good? idea. Yes I can see some logic to this T junction's obvious problems. However, the solution? Is extremely poorly planned. The minor road is quite narrow, so the roundabout has been 'offset'. This leaves the carriageway coming down the wainui exit and turning 'right' into Bell road narrowed to some extent. This in itself is not a terrible inconvenience, (but any motorcyclist using this roundabout will have already found it is a sharp turn requiring low speed to negotiate) what is amazingly STUPID is the very large and I mean LARGE square metal manhole cover that projects across about half of this narrow carriageway. In, wet conditions and or the advent of Deisel on the roundabout (which will be highly probable as this is an industrial area and a couple of freight companies 'reside' in the area) the only tarmac surface is between the roundabout itself and this manhole cover..... I think you can now build up a possible scenario of wet metal + deisel spilt on the road ???
At the very least I think that a non slip cover should have been used, or maybe on of the heavy covers that can be covered in roading material?
The roundabout is so big for the size of the 'T' junction even lorries are having trouble negotiating it, and I have seen them 'mount' the roundabout to get past it... yeh full tank, and poorly fitting cap??

Can I boldly suggest that having come this far you personally take charge of this issue and pursue it with the relevant authorities.
I kid you not, if presented with the right attitude and information you could well have a successful result from raising this matter..
I or one of the many who have gone before might once have taken you in hand and gone forward to do battle with said authorities but we've all had a dose of Biker apathy and are these days quite shy of public ridicule and posturing from our own.
So let us know what happens.

What Cas said.
You could try this: http://fixmystreet.org.nz/ as a means of having it logged.
But a polite and determined approach directly to the council (or the local ACC road safety person) may well prove to be more effective.
Go for it!

He is on MSAC and works at LTSA. He will know exactly who to contact to make a statement about that roundabout.
ANd yes, I know the road you mean and they shoulda just left the flippin thing alone

Maybe it was a deliberate ploy to keep people from coming 'out' of the valley beyond
