motorcycle safety

[oldguy]

Was at the V8supercar racing at Pukekohe today, just before the last race, they had a parade for the drivers. these bikers on Harleys came out must have been around 40 or 50 bikes to take the drivers, and some promo girls for a lap of the track, understandable no one wore helmets, but if one of the bikes had of gone down some one would have gotten badly hurt,specially the promo girls who were wearing there skimpy little out fits (such lovely little out fits they were too ) showing more bare skin they would get injured just triping over.
Does motorsport have a double standard were it promote safety and then turns around and allows this, what do you think I know here on KB some people think that wearing jeans is not good enough.

Try not to think about it too much. Here focus on this (these) instead...

a. It's a private "road".
b. Who cares. Safety Nazis are/have ruined what we regard/regarded as our way of life.

Can't swim where we like, can't drive/ride how we or where we like, can't give bullies what they deserve, can't answer a policeman back, who is after all a person just like you and me, can't tell your kids off, can't let rugby cheerleaders expose their midriff, can't say you don't like Turkish food (ethnicity based insult that), can't celebrate a bloke with the common sense to give himself as many advantages as possible in a dangerous situation (sorry about the revisionist PC wankers Sgt Hulme VC, may he RIP), can't express your dislike of a "workmate's" inability to ever do the job they're asked to do, can't suggest that a health system's inability to provide the care it needs to is actually due to the fact that they've replaced passionate healthcare workers & administrators with "managers" (no it's the two nurses looking after 14 people in the Emergency Dept's fault), and now we can't enjoy the spectacle of a bunch of bikes giving a bunch of amateur car racers (I watched the races - pack of bloody amateurs) a parade lap with a bit of eye candy thrown in.

Jeeesus - It's a parade lap so people can see the people!
If they were worried about risk would they be racing at Pukekohe anyway?

what's wrong with Turkish food?

Great rant, completely agree.

a. It's amazing that the ownership of the black tar determines whether a law applies. Though I should be careful saying that otherwise the government will feel the need to protect me from myself and those lovely ladies, and fill in their time by creating another law...

b. At least because of (a) an accident wouldn't affect motorcyclists ACC levies, so the said Safety Nazi's only have the "what message does this give" angle.
