Moto NZ on the Coromandel

[MrKiwi]

regardless of how many guys/girls have been injured/died on the whangamata/kopu/paeroa loop (the petite loop), as far as i have always known and considered, the Coro Loop goes thru Whitianga/Coromandel.

It's a bit like saying - lets do the The Paihiatua Track, and riding thru the Manawatu Gorge - it's close, but not actually it.

Consider what you like, still doesn't necessarily make you right.

never said i was right, just what i considered. personally, i don't give a flying fuck.

[Usarka]

Marty is right.

Why are we paying to tell them road snakes,naked barrier posts and cunts that cross the centerline are bad for bikers health?

Sigh.... WE are not ... NZTA is

WE are providing our collective knowledge but MSAC is not footing the bill for this project or its outcomes.
We are making some contribution in covering the costs of our own involvement and some of the research costs. (Read carefully SOME)

MSAC are merely providing advisory resources and supplying the resources for Bikers to provide the feedback requested, eg the feedback forms on the website.
So we utilize the MOTO NZ website to publicize the events, and to get the feedback (that is a small cost, granted) but NZTA paid to bring the Ozzie's over, NZTA will budget any costs for identified improvements....

I for one am 100% onside with this project, of all the idea's I have yet seen I think this is the one where we get to show TPTB that we DO care about our own safety, and its a chance to change the way road makers make our roads.... for the betterment of all of us on two wheels!
And that also includes you Pixie, you get a genuine chance to have your say but if you only choose to rant at the unfairness of it all then you continue to paint the image TPTB have of us as it is.

I still don't appreciate the levy hike either my friend but this sort of project is a good chance for US to prove WE are part of the solution NOT the problem..... Small comfort, but its the simple truth of the situation we face.

Wrong road

What a joke


$30 for a govt fuck up

It wouldn't matter what someone did, someone would find something to bitch about.

Isn't it just good that there is some effort at improvement being made? Good on them for their efforts. I bet they chose the route in question based on some sort of evidence, as the public are likely to be wanting accountability, and MotoNZ is likely to have to justify their decision making.

If you haven't got something constructive to say, don't bother.

Harumph.

Stoney- how did the first tentative run go from an administrative point of view?

Is the information gathered close to what your looking for?

The feedback we have received is extremely useful and very eye opening
cant say much more than that tho matey as I am not an official spokesperson in my role with MSAC and dont want to tread on any toes or make any misleading statements, but i deem it a success.
You can still ride the loop in your own time and fill in the form on our website

I think we learned a lot about how to host these things as well, maybe the next one will gain more public interst....

I still say the highlight for me was meeting these Aussie guys and seeing the changes they have made in Vic, simply astonishing how much thought went into making their roads safer for bikes
