A idea to save lives and ACC levy's

[justsomeguy]

or mebbe spank can do a nice line in orange fluo biker garb and we can all hang ourselves round with disco lights ...................
"... but i just didn't SEE you"

Hahaha.

What we need is some education not gadgets.

[kro]

A good idea, but half the knobcheeses in the country can't hear jack over their thump thump stereos.

[Zapf]

well every driver comes with multi spectrum listening devices.

Should you choose to equip your motorcycle with the correct emitters (loud exhaust) the drivers might choose to remember you are there if they choose to.

i just hope that, if it happens to me, i am sufficiently concious and mobile to drag myself up off the road and bitch-slap the stupid, complacent, murderous [sorry, 'manslaughtering'] sod into the middle of next week before taking whatever comes to hand, heavy-impliment-wise, to his/her/its vehicle [thus rendering him/her/it as disadvantaged, transportation-wise, as he/she/it has made me ...... ]

I thought you'd already done that..........

We could have summat similar, and if the driver ignored the visual alert, he gets an acid spray. "Aaaaarrrghhh! My eye! MY EYE!!"

a piercing scream - like that emitted by a just squashed bimbette, would be more effective.......

[Pixie]

I saw summat on TV a while back, being developed (I think) by Mercedes. It was a proximity sensor that warned a driver when he was about to change lanes to overtake and something was in his blind spot, or so near as to make pulling out dangerous. I can't recall the details, but I think there was some visual alarm built into the mirror that flashed in his eye or somesuch. We could have summat similar, and if the driver ignored the visual alert, he gets an acid spray. "Aaaaarrrghhh! My eye! MY EYE!!"

A Taser in the seat cushion would do it

[kiwifruit]

A Taser in the seat cushion would do it

buahahahaaa!!
now thats a good idea

[chic 'n' charge]

It's a good idea alright - but no doubt, it would end up being just like those radar detecters that get turned off cos they beep all the time, like when going past automatic doors etc.

A knock on the roof or drivers door always gets cage drivers attention I have found - mind you, do have to watch out for the swerve when they S*** themselves.....but it's worth it......hahahahha

[zooter]

Get real. Beep beep beep here's a bike there's a bike evrywhere a bike bike how bloody annoying would that be? Not an option.

[Big Dave]

A good idea, but half the knobcheeses in the country can't hear jack over their thump thump stereos.

'Knobcheeses'!!!!! bwahahahahah

[Shadows]

Loud pipes.

[mstriumph]

that was a PEDESTRIAN SPman, no vehicle for me to wreak havoc on .........

oh, yerse - erm - you are right ... i DID kick hell out of his broken leg so i guess that would qualify as 'disadvantaging him transportwise', yerse

[skidMark]

the governemnt take enough tax money and acc levis in regos etc... i think they should at least put up some ads....i think we need to send round a petition to get signed or something showing motorcyclists concerns and we just need some ads to make people more aware...

like the ad ....look out at intersections with all the people waiting and then the womens car get hit side on at the end something like that.....where a car pulls out of a driveway in front of a biker and the biker doesnt have time to react ...from a helmet view....

and from a helmet view a car turning infront of you coming from head on and the biker yet again having no where to go and then maybe some side of road camera views....

then saying at the end ...the motorcyclists see you they just need you to see them,

put yourself in thier position...look out for bikes....

i dunno something catchy like that ( sorry i'm not very good at advertising stuff...even though that is something i want to maybe get into) (sick of seeing stupid ad's on tv )

my 2 cents there tell me what ya reckon...




It's not that they look and don't see you.......

It's that they don't bother to look in the first place

Cheers : MA

how about all bikes come standard with flame throwers and rocket launchers.

just blast teh cars out of the way.

problem solved

[Silage]

If we removed the wing mirror from EVERY cage we were next to or passed THEN they would start to notice us and choose to avoid us all the time - problem solved.

[Karma]

I reckon it'd be better if we put a couple of wheels on either side of our bikes so that we don't fall over, then maybe get a roof over the top to stop the rain.

Could also get a wind screen to stop the rain hitting our helmets, and how about windows that you can wind up and down whenever you want.

Mind you then we'd need to have somewhere to stash the shopping, and a radio to listen to the latest bassy choons, oh, and air con for when it get's a bit warm?
