Research on motorcyclists, pillions, and non-riders

[Muppet]

Surveys, intelligence, information gathering is simply taking information that WE give them and then giving it back to us. It's not going to change a single thing.

Yes - go here and read this

Things have changed ... motorcyclists are now only 9% of road crashes - down from 21% in the mid-1980s ... and a reading of the pie chart on responsibility (page 4) shows motorcyclists were responsible for 53% of all motorcycle crashes .. other drivers responsible for 36% and in 8% of crashes some resonsibility was on the motorcylist ...

We can't blame other for our fuck ups any more ...

yes we can,its still over 1/3 of the cause ie 1 in three crashes

Keep blaming someone else. Yeah that's a great idea. We'll be taken seriously then.

Only 1 in.three times
And I have done things to help motorcyclists take some responsibility,besides surveys and internet slagging

q5122. When you were riding to your mistresses' place for a quicky while the wife was away in Vanuatu spending the joint account entriely, did you feel safe with traction control and ABS?

q5123. After you'd finished the bonk,...when you jumped back on the bike, what did you use?
[] Launch Control
[] Awesomeness of pure clutch and throttle
[] lame lazy semi -auto clutch
[] None of the above. The bike wouldn't start due to a flat battery and you caught the bus home.

what's the bet that now the survey is over, Dutton never comes back?

I'll be bloody surprised if he does.

Bloody dishonest corporate shill, "reaching out" to motorcyclists my non-ABS-protected arse, asking questions and "not at a liberty to disclose who they're for", I really hope KB managed to pollute the results enough to make a right royal mess.

Vague memory, doesn't your other half have a ZXR250 also?

Buggered if I'd ride around two up on those little bastards, but looking back to my youth, I suppose I pillioned on worse.

I have an other half????

I'm a schizophrenic cat, so I have 27 lives!! Which means we have 27 ZXR250's!!

Anyway no I pillion on a friends Katana. We've done a fair bit.

I've pillioned on my own bike once......and never again. It felt wrong in so many ways!!
