Harley riding fuckwits being their usual selves

[Fatt Max]

Did they wave?

[Laava]

And if they're new to riding, what should they be on?

Definitely P. Because it keeps you alert, of course.

Holy shit! Is it lesbian time?

Did they wave?

During the extensive and thoroughly unbiased media coverage, I never saw any evidence of waving.

If people,didn't hold different opinions, values and ideals, this ol world would be pretty damned boring.
Having said that there are many out there who simply can't help but make noise when everyone around them is asking for quiet as a mark of respect or because they are straining to hear something they consider important.
Katman, you might well know these jokers as good sorts, but I'd wager that a great deal more who live in your neck of the woods think of them as arseholes who intimidate any and all ordinary people they come across simply because they can.
Others here say there are many in the 1% gangs who are ex service men, I'd wager that while there are a few, even they know when to shut up and let the ordinary people see and hear what it is they have gathered for in their many thousands around the country.
Unstuck, your'e both right and wrong, the vast majority have a right to be heard, a right to be seen and to be proud of their forbears when they gather specifically to do so, to have such an important event marred by these particular trolls is not acceptable and the trolls need to know it in no uncertain terms.Otherwise we might as well give them the keys and go back to our hidey holes.
Your'e wrong in excusing these trolls their mistake, they simply need to be made aware of it and to be reminded that if it happens again, they instead of the ordinary people will find themselves on the end of a rather ugly crowd.
Difference is fine, defiance in the face of the many by so few has been heralded as heroic, brave,gallant and country saving.That time and we all know which time, the whole world relied on them.
This time the whole of NZ wants to tear their ears off and beat their sorry arses till they yell uncle.
I believe that for once our news media concentrated on the right things, our thousands of ANZAC pilgrims at Gallipoli, our vets ( the oldest 102) from all theatres and battles leading the marches
The ordinary people from around the world gathering to commemorate a friendship forged in battle and another friendship forged in the aftermath of that battle whereby the ANZAC's are welcomed "home" every year by their once Arch enemy the Turk!
This thread has it's place, but here we all are arguing over a small bunch of trolls, uncaring, uneducated in the ways of NZ's and Australia's ANZAC celebrations, instead of commenting on how our kids and soon their kids are going to continue to March every year into the foreseeable future to remember those friendships forged in fire, to remember that NZ and Australia have a friend in Turkey that will never leave their collective sides and that all three countries will do whatever they can to prevent bloodshed on any scale anywhere in the world because they've all seen it at it's worst.

And those people who are proclaiming this as the greatest display of disrespect in ANZAC Day history seem to be conveniently forgetting the considerable number of Aussies and Kiwis, both here and overseas, who see ANZAC Day as nothing more than an opportunity for drunken revellry.

I recall only Andi Brotherston saying "perhaps the greatest display of disrespect..." not the greatest display.


So what if some people see it as an opportunity for drunken revellry? Some always will, but they didn't disrupt an Anzac day service afaik.

Well this thread went full blown retard.

Ever noticed how every thread over a couple of pages long on KB just becomes a circular argument? You could pick any page of this thread at random and compare it to another random page, and everyone is having the same argument, going around in circles.

Bit rich coming from you. Did a Harley rider take your Mrs from you or summat? I've been around HD's for a fair time now and experienced my share of haters. But you take the cake!

Should we be offended by their lack of respect for the solemnity of the occasion?

I don't know if anyone was or is offended by it. Anzac day is a celebration, commemoration etc after all.

If you think there is anything positive to be found in hoards of Aussies and Kiwis wandering the streets of London pissing and vomiting everywhere because they get to celebrate ANZAC Day, then there is something very wrong with you.

Lol, you're putting spin on my words. The only positives I see about hordes of people getting really drunk etc are: They feel good for a short time, the brewers/distillers make money. It doesn't stop people getting drunk though.

Once again my point is, they didn't disrupt an Anzac Day service.
