I don't clog the byways and stop the flow of other traffic by sheer volume either. Or cause parking congestion.

OK, I do make a racket too, but that's hardly impacting the freeway environment.

I was hoping you'd say that.
I know that whenever I ride, the birds accompany me singing sweet tunes, my halo dazzles other road users and I have the most wonderful feeling of being at one with the universe.

I worked on a trawler as a engineer for a while have seen the damage
bottom trawling does,have seen a 70 ton bag of roughy slowly rott in the
sun (the fish factory could only process 10 ton a watch 7hrs)
they were still processing when the fish was falling Apart, then
they just pushed the remainder over the back.
was cool watching great white sharks taking seals that follow

with the boat going up and down...I can only imagine the smell....mate, you must have an iron constiution.
I went on a few commercial fishing runs in Tassie and had touble keeping it all down.
The boys down there weren't adverse to loosing a few .22 rounds at the following seals either.
(yeah - i know they are protected, but when you're on a smallish shark cat with nothing else in it but a steering wheel and fishing gear - a 1/2 a mile off the wild cliff walled Port Arthur coast - and the good ol' boy of a capt'n pulls out a .22 and starts lettin' rip - 'hey mate - that's not right! - didn't quite seem.....prudent.)

It was ruined a long time before any of us today had a chance to have a say in it.
When the Poms decided it was a good idea to dump their radio active waste into the north sea during the 50-60s any say we did have was taken from us.
All the conservation in the world won't change what's already done,an whats been done can't be undone by any amount of protesting by greenpeace or anybody else.
including old gits like you, that don't give a shit. :spudwave:

My political choice is slightly right wing, I choose to smoke pot occasionally with friends, my greenie brother doesn't touch it. I'm a mechanic, and I pay my greenpeace contribution and will hapilly fight for the choices either of my little brothers make.
Edit: My hair is short and I'm usually clean shaven

My name is ....and i'm an environmentalist....i crave fossil fuels.....

Have a heap of tails about this stuff may start a thread about it.

ie
3000 hp shark (instant spool)
floating containers
P3 orion watch
sticking people down frozen fish box runs

getting people unstuck from frozen ladders

Since when have Greenpeace been anti motorbikes? Maybe I missed it in this years annual report, maybe it's that swastika or my 'hippy' hair getting in the way again. Or maybe I’m too stoned to read?

Greenpeace has been campaigning for greater rights for bikers, better road design to consider biker safety, lower taxes for bike users (in collaboration with Transport 2000) etc in Europe for over a decade. !!??

Hippies think the Iron Age was the golden age

No,I'll be dead by then and will therefore not give a fuck

Nuclear is wrong. Five mile, cherynobyl, and just the potential for an enormous disaster - plus the global shit fight over waste - Wait for fission.

Wees got fission,you mean fusion and it still creates irradiated waste
