I was only aware of two fatal accidents in NZ that involved motorcyclists and WRB's ... none (I'm aware of) involving cars ... where do you get the 5% you mentioned ...
About 20% of the drivers on the roads consider the road their workplace ... ie: being paid to be there. Seldom do these drivers actually cause accidents ... but everyone declares them dangerous.
Most workplace accidents occur when the safety guards have been removed. Others because the "victim" disregarded safety instructions ... and/or (most common) simply lacked proper training. The latter two are the most common cause of road accidents.

Remember mine was a dual whinge about seat height and weight. The Triumph 800 comes in various seat heights including a low version much like the BMWs do, but flippin heck it weighs over 200kg dry and is as much a whale as the BMW twins, yet it is a triple, so surely more suited as a road bike than an adventure bike.

This pisses me off. Some 9 year old brat in Aussie gets lots of media coverage because she stupidly misinterprets "Australia Fair" to be promoting whites and blondes and therefore racist against the dark skinned Aborigines. And 'we are young' she claims is about the new European arrivals, denying the aborigines. I wasn't sitting beside whoever wrote it 150 odd years ago so I won't judge his/her intentions but I would hazard a guess it may refer to the 'new nation' of Australia being young, encompassing all who lived there.
Same shit has been said of our national anthem and of course our flag. Yes these things are dated! How can they not be when they were written and designed over 150 years ago. You have to judge them as contemporary - as at the time they happened. It's called history dickheads, what happened a long time ago. That doesn't make it wrong or right by today's standards.
Surprised the stupid 9 y.o hasn't complained that their anthem doesn't mention driving Holdens or using f#&^% smartphones.
History is what it is, warts and all. Stop trying to change it, deny it or disguise the bits we no longer like. Remember it and honour our ancestors for simply surviving in tough times and conditions that would really give us something to whinge about.

You're right, history is what it is a 140 year song written by a Scot (it's older than our bloody country). We get the same angst over our flag and what it represents. Personally, I say "why not" to changing things and moving on. The past should be observed, respected, and learned from but just because something has been one way for 140 years doesn't mean it needs to stay that way.
I disagree on the flag and anthem. The flag looks shit, the anthem asks some mythical being to defend us that the majority of NZers don't believe in. Time to get rid of it.
Autechs new lyrics to the same tune:
Lots of poor cunnnts at myyy feet
Taking tax dollars to spend ohhnnn pokies
Using that monnney tooo buy weeeed
Jacinda defend ourrr freeee ride

Our national anthem is "Poi E" innit?
and if it isn't why the fuck not?
Also: Christ: take a pill. I personally think we should be rid of all relics of colonialism, any mention of god anywhere but especially in the organs of gubblemunt and ESPECIALLY "god of naaaayshuuuuns aaaat thyyyyy feeeeeet". I don't sing, but even when I did I would not fucking sing that shit. Fucking waste of brain cells. think of the neurons that died.

My whinge is about these wankstains on Te News, demanding "fix the roads".
The road is fine, in fact it is entirely fit for purpose (a surface that you can drive a vehicle on - sealed or un-sealed). The problem lays with the operators of aforementioned vehicles! One of these muppets stated "I was in a head-on crash" which meant either the other driver, or her, crossed the cunting centerline and caused the crash... NOT the road.
Well our "national anthem" needs to go, simply because it's shit. About as exciting and motivating as a rectal examination being given by a novice with cold metal instruments.
Otherwise we shall revert to the genuine anthem of NZ, Th' Dudes: Bliss.

Poxy motel room in Hastings. The cunting toilet seat keeps putting itself down about half an hour after taking a piss. First time it happened I thought Hemi was jumping through the window. I think I'll just piss with the seat down.
