    OK!!!!! here are some "Exemptions to the LAW!!!"

    When you get pulled over for 1: Noisy exhaust, you point them at this statement..
    In built-up areas, be in a gear which produces enough exhaust noise to herald your approach to pedestrians. Silence is not the safe option.
    And if you want to pull a wheelie on the m/way and get caught: Quote http://www.rideforever.co.nz/ride_sm...ides.html#fast
    :
    AKA "High Speed Wobble"
    Lift off the seat, pull back on the handlebars and open the throttle as though attempting a wheelie. Once airborne the forces causing the wheel wobble should dissipate, so that it touches down running straight and evenly.

    ..and remember.. if you find this amusing in any way, throw bling this way PT

    I can't believe that the ACC is behind something that offers out practical advice like that, rather than spouting senseless, almost ok in theory bullshit. Go rideforever.co.nz

    Have ordered my copy. Took 3 business days to arrive. Will watch it shortly. Packaging looks good and like the little booklet that came with it.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    it's not a very long dvd, so don't make popcorn, or set an entire night to watch it..

    And don't race into the kitchen to make a coffee while the opening credits are on or you'll miss the whole thing...

    Order placed, I think this is the same DVD that went around the KB crew before xmas isnt it?

    "If you can't laugh at yourself, you're just not paying attention!"
    "There is no limit to dumb."

    "Resolve to live with all your might while you do live, and as you shall wish you had done ten thousand years hence."

    I received my copy of the DVD a couple of weeks ago.

    It was very brief but had a lot of good practical points, obviously you don't want to employ every bit of advice but it gets you thinking about things.

    Lots of good points. Wish I'd known about sweep cars for group rides earlier - I'd've volunteered our services. It wouldn't quite be the same as riding, but at least we could've enjoyed the social interaction and cameraderie of a KB ride. Would have happily loaded first aid kit, spares and anything the riders felt disinclined to carry into the back of the car and tagged along.

    I like the idea of the leader signalling the person behind him to stop and direct others at the turn offs. And the TCLOCK mnemonic is better than my usual ad hoc pre-flight which may or may not miss something depending on where my head is at. My usual test for the kick stand was to briefly note that the bike was not lying on its side when I went to get on it.

    And I'd be like "watch it or I'll throw your toiletry bag out the window and tip out your thermos of cappucino" - assuming that there are Auckland Sprot Boik riders on the ride, of course (pt)
