    SMIDSY du jour

    One of my homies got knocked off yesterday. Classic SMIDSY.

    Yeah right.

    That's OK someone from BRONZ will be along to tell us that that is true.

    You're not a lawyer are you?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Tis the way of the world and it gives Katman grist for the mill when motorcyclists behave badly and contribute to our poor public image!

    A bad day for riders in the south. Hope your hommie's going to be OK.

    I thought it was already true. In fact I'm pretty sure that's exactly how ACC data is collated.

    And what's BRONZ got to do with it? Have they come over all katman?

    Come on guys it's their job to sensationalize these things. Have a heart

    Hope the chick on the scoot heals up OK. The dramatised publicity might end up as a good thing as far as getting people to pay more attention on the road, positive outlook and all that.

    I was waiting in the car near an urban boat ramp/roundabout coming out of Chch airport a few weeks ago and campervans coming fresh from being collected were by far the most 'entertaining' drivers Plenty of horn and brake action there, almost some break action too, but yes you are right in some cases. Anything for some drama in a story.

    Every time I mutter-grumble-buggerit about journalistic license in regard to reporting RTAs as "Motorcycle collides with (insert inanimate or piloted object here)" related despite that being simple conjecture and pointing out the it implies blame, a BRONZ executive member will tell to wind my head in.

    I already knew you were an engineer.

    That's a bit of a stretch isn't it?

    Stuff.co.nz is more of a glorified blog site with outsourced 'news' articles than actual 'fucking media'. The spelling, punctuation, and grammar of the article is more atrocious than that 23 year old's driving.

    Not to mention the click-bait.

    I almost wonder if Stuff has strolled into the domain of self-satire.

    Completely agree

    ...and I would put money on this driver walking away scot free!..."its was just an accident"

    ITS SUCH BULLSHIT!

    The fact is, the Driver didn't LOOK and ensure the way was clear before crossing the flow of traffic...but Oh well, just panel damage for HER to worry about, and insurance will sort it all out...lala...just continue to drive like a blind arse till next time!..aye(Till they KILL another road user)

    It MUST! therefore, be the bike riders fault for not taking EVERY fucking precaution (such as Getting off and pushing her scooter through the intersection!) all to allow for ANOTHER dipshit driver who can't master the art of fucking LOOKING!...and GIVING WAY!!

    Im all for defensive riding and training as Katman etc preach(And for good cause!...it DOES save lives)...but to be charged EXTRA rego costs due to slanted stats from these sort of BS accidents?...and THEN, having to repeatedly watch the offending drivers just walk away with panel damage and no charges laid??(while the effected rider gets screwed by ACC, loss of income and months of painful recovery)

    ...are we just fucking expendable??, not worth the "hassel" of laying charges because its "our own fault for riding"???


    WELL FUCK THAT!...the bitch failed to LOOK!, failed to GIVEWAY!...and worst of all...Failed to render assistance to HER victim (She sat in the car and watched)

    ...again...I fucking BET YOU!...no charges will be laid


    Its just Bullshit!


    Ride Safe KBers

    again...thoughts to the rider, family & friends (Rastuscat will no doubt pass on all our messages of support)

    ...I lean into it!
