I like the idea of 'officials running around madly...'
What say.... Q1 is asked by Hitcher through Mark Burton, Q2 by Ixion through Marion Hobbs, Q3 by Jim2 through Simon Power....etc.

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Derived from the fact that once (and perhaps still FAIK) , the documents were physically placed on a table in front of the Speaker, where any MP was at liberty to peruse them.

Hi Chris
Thank you for the prompt response and answers. Those answers do nothing to indicate that Transit are taking our concerns seriously (yet) and I have been asked to sound you out on whether you would be interested in becoming 'our political champion' in this matter. There are a number of further questions we are keen to put to the Min.of Transport. Some of us think that we may be better to put one question through each of several different MPs, but my position is that co-ordinating with one MP who is 'on our side' would yield a better result.
I look forward to your reply.
Regards

Nice work.
A little biker waits...

That's a good indication of the thinking behind WRB installations on the left side of some stretches. There's obviously no consideration of the disparity between what's safe for "standard" cages and everything else, including bikes.
Doesn't ecxplain some LH installations though, I've seen WRB "protecting" us from perfectly negotiable grass verge...
I'd be very carefull there, even trimmed of doublespeak the answers may not serve us well. Unlike some I have no doubt WRBs do actually represent a viable safety option, for family saloons in some instances. I expect genuine historic data will support that, it's just that they're a serious liability for anything else.
The problem with the numbers is that, given that the majority of road users are (arguably) advantaged by these things any supporting stat's will always look like a reasonable cost/benefit decision has been made. Perhaps a better aproach is to force comparisons with barrier systems which perform better for all forms of transport. That, and continue to stress how dangerous WRBs are to bikers in particular.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
I just heard that Dan ( Back __fire ) was not the first biker to be killed in NZ by these things, it would seem some one was killed a few years ago by them, Still trying to get more info from the person who told me about it, unless some one on KB knows about or has a link.

Someone was killed in Welly, after striking Armco posts. In 2000, if I remember right. They were decapitated.

Have heard last night that indeed a biker was killed some few years ago, by striking cheesecutter. Was the brother of my step-son's boss. The boss rides too, and we are working on getting hold of him with a view to him joining our ranks...
In the meantime, here is an article I wrote for the local free weekly, the NapierMail. Hope it is readable, as they don't have the page online.
