    Precisely!! We could start a "NO BIKERS WILL DIE THIS WEEK" where we would try to get the buy in from all NZ bikers. Message would be: This week we will all ride to survive.

    Or am I in lala land??

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Lala land.

    Seriously.

    No one under 25 gives a rat's banana about riding to survive and a big proportion over that age figure have survived the odds so long they still have immortality syndrome.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Sometimes I watch other riders and wonder they will be the next roadkill statistic. IMO too many riders fail to respect the road for what it is, i.e. a mechanism that commuters use to get from A to B. The primary purpose of roads isn't for our enjoyment and we need to stop thinking we own them.

    I've seen loads of people ride too fast for the road and they tend to come off a lot more than us slower guys. I wonder why that is? Like I've said in other threads, there's a time and a place for going fast so if you're that desperate to ride like a lunatic, take it to the track.

    Would you say this applies to both sexes?

    No. Generally speaking women aren't wired for risk taking behaviour. Those that are shouldn't be allowed on bikes, just like lads under 25 who ARE specifically hard wired for risk taking behaviour shouldn't be allowed on bikes, on the road with other road users. They shouldn't be allowed to drive anything bigger than a 1:43 scale model of an Aussie V8. Even then someone will get hurt when they start racing them by firing them out of modified shotguns.

    It's patently obvious that I shouldn't have been allowed on the road with other people until I was over 25.

    There's my answer. Would never work. There is always someone who would have no understanding of what is going on and have the need to do a wheelie.

    I will just take same approach here as to other parts of my life: I take care of my self and mine. And leave the rest to someone else.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.
