    We could make a whole television series about it - competitors need to devise their method and then present to judges and audience who decide which is the best and that would then be done for the final episode...


    We could call it "Roman Arena" and even have dogs involved somehow...

    another death

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-pos...hastings-crash

    I wonder if this will be counted as a road motorcycle accident in the stats as it was probably a dirt bike / unregistered on the dirt track beside the road?

    "
    A police spokesman at the scene said it appeared the truck had pulled out of a driveway and hit the motorcyclist.
    "It appears at this stage that [the biker was] on the wrong side of the road and a truck's pulled out, a collision has occurred."
    He said the motorcyclist, who died at the scene, was in the dirt cycle lane on the side of the road.

    Cycleways are part of the roading system, and all laws apply, except cycles and pedestrians can travel both ways.

    Unfortunately, it probably will be - as it was a motorcycle and the idiot was on the road

    It will also involve an ACC pay out for the death ..

    The utter majority (90%?) will leave and be far more aware of RISK factors, rather than going out in an attempt to be more aggressive/faster/dumber*.

    Regardless of the legality of the motorcycle ... it will be. Any public place (on or near a road) where public have access ... all vehicles are required must have reg. and W.O.F.

    And you need a permit to ride a motorcycle on a footpath (ie: Posties need one) and cycle lanes are a no go for all motorized vehicles.

    The article only mentions two bikes...I guess two is company and three is a crowd?

    Look I just don't know how I'm still alive. In past couple of weeks I've done around 2000 km, some of it as a group of 7. Some as group of 3, part of that in heavy rain. Even today I was out in group of 3. Am I looking down from heaven? Oh hang on, I don't believe in that

    Tragic as the accident in the Hawkes Bay today is, I doubt the ink is dry on the incomplete SCU report, so having it described as a group ride...

    No one goes out on a ride with the expectation that they are not coming home, group ride or not, that is a fact.
    We all need time in the saddle to improve our staying alive skills, because these days, out there on the road, apart from riding our bikes that is really what we are doing,improving our chances of getting home every single time we straddle a bike.
    Katman used to have a one line message, it IS as relavent today as it was then. Personal Responsibility take possession of it and make sure you don't end up a statistic.
    You have no relevance, except to revel in macabre statements of missinformation and offering advice that could conceivably kill new riders and then hiding behind your precious group rides are dangerous monolouge.
    We All Know that.
    The difference is we practice and do things, like go to riding courses to improve our chances, we ride with others who are older and have more experience and we accept critique from those people.
    Most of us have never come off our bikes and probably won't.
    I'm over listening to a self confessed at least 7 times accident involved person who still can't comprehend that any sort of interaction with other willing bike riders, be they mates,instructors or just someone on a group ride who offers advice are good people trying to improve theirs and the lot of other road users by getting themsleves up to scratch.
    So I say again, You are a FUCKWIT and I want you gone from KB once and for all.
    Anyone else care to comment?
    Every day above ground is a good day!:
