    Thanks whoever for the video link. Well done Draco and Felix. Rational and empathic. Good work. As for the bearded dork - perhaps he could personally 'stand by' one of these barriers....enough said.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Glad there was a follow up story - well done Jen and Felix.

    The general public at large probably hear motorbike crash and think 'bikes are dangerous' or all sorts of other things.

    These fences need to go or be modified, it's just not on saying they save lives - when they can maime and kill bikers.

    Hope Dan gets a good send off and a decent number can be rallied for a protest ride after the funeral.

    He gave me the impression of a man who fully enjoys his pocket protector and his pen collection. He was probably in the office today, sorting paperclips or something else useful to the taxpayer, when the media called.

    Thanks for the work you did on this Felix. Both you and Jan came across as concerned riders who put our case across very well.
    Thank you for your bravery in appearing and telling us about Daniel's death.
    A very sad occassion for you and all Daniels's friends and family. My thoughts go with you this week. Regards.

    That was good work guys .. your points came accross really well ... and the transit NZ ones were shown to be weak .. as they did not indicate that it is cars that are better off not motorbike riders.

    Let's rark this unacceptable risk to motorcyclists up and use every possible avenue to highlight.

    All I need for the protest ride is a time and place.

    Well done on the interview both of you, clear and concise.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Put me down for any protest.

    I have hated these bloody things ever since seeing my first on the M4 in the UK.

    I'm watching this thread. So just post details and I'll be there.

    Jen and Felix you made your points clearly and succintly under very difficult
    circumstances.
    Despite probably having my life saved by the fence when some idiot thought his formula one Nissen cornered on rails. It didn't. Thankfully the fence stopped his car reaching my side of the road.
    However like many of the others I am willing to be part of any actions that will move our venerebal all knowing public service into action to find and install something more bike friendly....... they do after all work for us (or more correctly WE pay their wages).
