    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.
    Wow. You are putting a lot of effort into this. I commend you on your passion.

    You are either the biggest troll I've come across or your head is planted firmly where the sun don't shine.

    My motorcycle is no more a play thing than my freind's Commodore.

    Stop assuming that your way of life is the ONLY way of life.

    By that I take it you mean his complete inability to make a coherent point in support of his original posit?

    So your saying that IF a motoryclist lowslides and crosses the centreline, where there is no cheese graters, The car driver WILL run him over.

    He is just assuming that all car drivers are stupid and not aware enough to look at oncoming traffic.

    If a car driver runs over a motorcyclist wherein he has a distance of over 100m to stop, then he should not be on the road.(M/C is stationary). Road safety is looking out after others as well as taking your own safety into account as well.

    Just because he didn't go over the centreline and into a potentially dangerous situation doesn't mean that the barriers did there job. One person is seriously injured in an incident that could have been minor, IF THERE WAS AMPLE RESPONSE FROM ALL PARTIES ON THE MOTORWAY. When there is no barriers.

    Like it or not, these barriers are a double-edged sword.
