    I can confirm he is that very (insert description here) person.

    I have had dialogue with PW and GM over various issues I have with MOTONZ. I stopped communicating as I was not wasting my time or energy with drop kicks and people who pretend to GAF.

    They continually claim they are doing work no other Agency is doing, and all for us. Well I keep telling them bullshit.

    Take the SMS service they offer 'DUNG' I think it is? Well NZTA already provide a free (from mobiles too) 0800 number for that. Call is answered straight away by NZTA, Traffic Operations Centre (TOC), in Auck or Welly, god only knows when a dung text is answered. Matter of fact if the road conditions are that dangerous then Police also provide an immediate service or can facilitate one through a council by callers using *555 or 111. So they are doing work no other agency is doing or providing well fuck me really!!!

    There are so many more examples I could offer but the question is wtf are they doing with all that money?????

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Yeah. Phil Wright is a total fucking sifter.

    I have never bothered registering to make comments on their website for a variety of reasons even though some of the stuff that is posted is just plain wrong like KB and needs a response. And now I find that I cannot read all the comments without logging on. FFS. They take my $30 a year for, well, fuck all of any substance as far as I can see which was always going to be the case, and now I can only read the spam posts about sunglasses, designer jackets and beats by dre outlet.

    Best money I have ever spent

    Looks like he's still just mindless regurgitating the ACC numbers. Didn't even notice/address why acc claimant figures were almost 4x as many as NZTA recorded injuries.

    You don't need to register or login, just leave a valid email each time you post, it still works ok for me.

    Saw Morgan on TV1 close up last night (with Sir Bob Jones) and confirmed my view that he (Morgan) will do nothing useful for motorcycling!

    Confirmed my view that he is an arrogant cock. One that happens to ride a bike (sometimes).
    Old Sir Bob might be a bit arrogant too, but I'm sure he drives a car, and he doesn't spout on that he knows best for other car drivers...

    Oh yes Sir Bob drives. They probably still have unserved tickets for his car rego'd in his dogs name.

    Has a fine taste in automobiles too. Last time I saw him, he was driving an XJR exactly the same as mine bar the colour.

    I'm beginning to think the organisation (or lack thereof) is being wound up. Its over a month since they were due for an update, and over a week since I e-mailed them about it. Did anybody ever get around to do an OIA request on their financials? Might be a good time before it all gets kick back into somebodys election campaign or some shit.

    I think it's already dissappeared into ACC general slush fund account, minus tea and muffins

    With any luck that would mean the "safety levy" will be taken off. Tui anyone?

    I did finally get a reply to my inquiry. I'll post it up, just so somebody is keeping bikers in the loop.

    Thank you for your email, and my apologies for the delay in responding to you.

    You are quite right there is some delay in getting the Business Plan on the website and it may take a few more weeks yet so please bear with us.

    While over the last year there has been some progress we are looking forward to a year where we will be able to make some significant progress. Having said that we do appreciate having people like yourself keeping and eye on things.
