"A shark on whiskey is mighty risky, but a shark on beer is a beer engineer" - Tad Ghostal
Just wondering, when you are engaged in the political process to force change and you encounter robust disagreement do you resort to name calling?
All the best.
I'd be interested to see a poll with 3 options
WRB Gone
WRB Stay
I don't give a shit
Conside #3 as status quo

I don't think that WRB are the best type of barrier, but unfortunately neither do I think that NZ roads are the best type of road. Cheap and nasty is what we have, and most likely what we will continue to get.
I expect that materials and procedures used will only get cheaper and nastier, whilst also becoming more expensive.
The only debate that I have seen lately around WRBs has been initiated by the OP.
Keep on chooglin'
So is EVERYTHING in life. Even life itself.
Hobby, passion and 24x7, 365days a year transport, rain, hail or shine.
I think you will find that percentage is rather high.
If a biker thinks like this it's no wonder our image is not what it could be.
Not special, but reasonable conditions for a legal mode of transport and a valid life choice. Next you'll be saying cyclists don't deserve cycle lanes.
You ignorant, self centred bastard!
What is the REAL world then? Ask a million people that question and you'll get a million different answers. Stop assuming your answer applies to everyone else. EVERY way of life is valid as long as it respects the right of others to theirs.
Just becuase you view your motorcycle as a frivolous play thing does not mean the rest of us do.

Been riding on some lovely 'hot mix' they have replaced the chip with, on the 'Crown Range' road yesterday.....smoooothhh
They also put armco up instead of the WRB....much less of a eye sore.
But there is a fair bit of use of WRB on our roads where I ride down here to unfortunately, I don't like it, but I would not mind it if was installed as originally specified with a 6 metre no mans land gap between it and the road user.

What a load of crap!
As my sig. says:
"Motorcycling is not inherently dangerous. It is, however, EXTREMELY unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence and stupidity!"
Then you are deluded. Properly treated motorcycling is no more dangerous than car driving. Yes, you will get hurt more if you hit something but the risk of hitting that something to an experienced, respectfull rider is no different.
Let's say that overnight a hundred pot-holes appeared outside your house. The 4WD set have no problem but it makes riding out of your driveway impossible. Would you sell the bike if the council refused to fill them in?
Yes, I see that - You don't mind and, in your eyes, we don't matter.

Just for the record, and to get things really clear, I have not seen anyone representing MAG-NZ call anyone names on this thread.
I have said that the way one member posts makes him look like a dick, but then I can say that. I do not represent MAG-NZ.
I will robustly debate what I believe in with anyone, I no longer am hampered by a "group". I will say what I want, when I want.
