    Hot? She got a rash.

    Erm, it was their right wasn't it? I don't recall there being any laws that say you have to dress up like a Power Ranger every time you throw your leg over the bike. Or did I miss that meeting as well? In this case the guy was an idiot, but only because he fell off.

    My caravan hasn't got a post box, that'll be why it never arrived.

    No but it does state that you need to wear an approved helmet & have a fucking licence .... Clothing is optional .... it is only ACC that gives a shit about that kinda thing ....

    Good job it wasn't registered then. ACC should steer clear of that one.

    Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be 'vague as to its ownership' .......

    yeah I was talking about it yesterday with a mate ... hi response :
    The solution is that any injury inflicted to a person during a illegal activity will not be covered by ACC - all medical treatment will be carried out to a level of a non life threatening capacity, and this will be repaid via court order or the likes. Any further corrective cosmetic surgery will need to be paid for by the patient without WINZ or ACC assistance..
    Seems fair to me .... then fees can come down a bit

    Hmmm! It appears he may have been exceeding the 4km/h speed tolerance. Throw the book at him.

    No helmet required (with conditions) in Florida. Speed limit 70MPH on some highways. Very warm most of the time, T-shirts common.

    Doesn't seem they were doing something that extreme to me.

    The guy was obviously a gentleman, he had given the lady his helmet. (No bad puns please.)

    Are you just trying to prove a stereotype there or something?

    Bring the well swept non cheese grater roads straight roads that will mostly be ridden by those dudes over here and it will be nothing outrageous either.
