Who are they are why are they stating the bleeding obvious? Is it like the AA for motorcyclists?

[russd7]

and sometimes stating the obvious is enough to get people thinking again.
only one that surprised me was number 6,

[FatMax]

Never fear, MAG will fight hard for our rights. Nothing to worry about, they've got this..

[EJK]

Wow actually interesting. #6 Over half of fatal crashes does not involve alcohol, drugs or speed.

[Scuba_Steve]

I heard an add from them the other day
Something has come from the moneys finally it seems but their SPoT is pretty vague in definition & obvious in point

Let's apply some KB logic then. If we all get loaded, smoke dope and ride at outrageous speed, less people will die.

How many thousands of dollars were sucked up compiling that? surely if they were really concerned about what the figures state wouldn't it have been better to inject those dollars spent into something useful rather than re-skinning their tomtom drums.

Sounds more like Stuff.co.nz comments section logic to me, but hey six of one half a dozen of the other.

Thank Christ. I thought thy were just getting drunk and snorting lines with my $30

...What a bunch of wank!!!!!!

Except for scooters they say adventure bikes are the safest and sports bikes are the most dangerous from crash statistics. I would put that down to the tall upright seating position on an adventure bike compared to the much lower crouched position on a sports bike that impairs your periferal vision. Another reason why sports bikes are more dangerous is that they are ridden by Rossi wannabes. You dont buy an adventure bike if you see yourself as a Rossi wannabe. They omitted any statistic about the mid life crisis effect as just because a rider is over 40 or 50 not all are MLC riders who seem to be the most risky group in the older ages as they think they can ride on day 1 of their MLC just as well as they did when they gave up in their late 20s/early 30s. An alternative cure than a motorbike needs to be found for a MLC. I wonder if the drug companies are working on one?

LOL, what a bunch of crap.

In the last ten years (or ever) ... how many riders have been known to have died after smoking dope ... and then riding at outrageous speed ... ???

[FJRider]

That doesn't necessarily mean the motorcyclist was at fault ...

According to the statistics .. 1 in 5 accidents are alcohol related. That's 20%.


45% of deaths in private homes in fires are alcohol related. Should we ban fires in private homes ... or ban booze ... ???

I guess the truth would hurt if you own a sports bike.

Well take a look at what I own then.

Some of us road users refuse to be pigeonholed for we may use a range of vehicles aye Spokes? I wonder where my parachute fits in, would it be deemed transport or a safety device? No dog avoidance technology included haha...
