    I am still of the opinion that were it not for the WRB, the chap would no longer be with us.

    Good night everyone.

    Sorry, this I cannot accept. Yours might be but certainly not his.

    As mine is to me.

    I didn't say his message was perfect - but if you read the words, they're pretty much on the button.

    Don't you think that for someone porporting to front something that the delivery needs to be a bit smoother?

    I haven't seen him (nor me) purporting to front anything.

    And sadly you have hit the nail this time. (But it had to happen sometime... ;-) ) This has become very clear after the ACC debate and the ride. There are evil forces working against us and they are gathering speed and using increasingly underhand tactics. The media is not "on their side", the media has been bought and gone over to the dark side and we are doomed. The only thing that can now save us is a Biker Messiah. If only someone would step up and preach the message for us all I am sure we would all fall in line and follow!

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Sorry, but I was not the one repeating myself, me thinks you may have been the one getting upset, clearly forgetting you had already posted your witty response. I was off having a nice soak in the spa with my lovely man, you were the one ranting on here

    Peace!

    I think we are both guilty of providing "too much information," then...

    Have a safe commute.

    Would we bollocks. Motorcycling is full of individuals and they aren't going to follow some leader like sheep - look at the low number of members for the various organisations. Didn't Gareth Morgan stand up ? Ho ho.

    I also disagree with the point about evil forces working against us. ACC is up because we are an expensive road user. I haven't seen anything else that indicates they are trying to remove us from the roads.

    The media are on no side. There are no good news stories regarding motorbikes, "ooh, look, a toy run" doesn't hack it anymore. And the media only deal in shit, which we, as a user group, are happy to provide them.

    Of course, the articles all say 'that alcohol was a factor'. We are left to assume it was the rider who was pissed. It is just possible that the rider was sober and doing his best to avoid a pissed car driver, eh? "alcohol a factor' fits that scenario, too.
    We rode passed the accident area on Saturday morning and there was kitty litter patches for about 500mts in both lanes...seems to me that there was fluid of some sort left on the road by another vehicle previous.
    But of cause I didnt attend the accident so this is just my assumption of what may have played a part.
