    Motorcyclists Wanted - Queensland

    And I thought NZ officials were good and scaring people away from motorbikes.

    This has been borrowed from an Australian motorbike forum site; the advertisement has been taken out by the Gold Coast Motorcycle Safety Steering Committee.

    Only motorcyclists understand why a dog hangs his head out of a car window

    What have you found? The same old fears.

    Since when has riding a motorbike become a sin?

    I reckon that's a pretty low blow..

    These are the same people who are lobbying for a ban on sportbikes from Queensland roads.

    They get plenty of press coverage too.

    Everytime a motorcyclist dies on the road they are there bleating about the motorcyclists and the carnage they cause.

    I was on the Gold Coast last christmas when a guy on a sportbike got pinged by a fixed speed camera which they have at every major intersection.

    He was doing over 200kms in a 80km zone a couple of minutes later he failed to take a corner and slammed into a tree resulting in a very gruesome accident scene. Made the front page of the paper and the TV News. Half a page was for the accident and a photo, one page was for these people to spread their evil message. This guy was the 11th motorcycle death in the Gold Coast area in 6 months.

    Highly Vocal determined people who at the end of the day might get their wish.

    Every death just strengthens their argument.
    Arguing with an Engineer is like wrestling a pig in mud.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.

    But why single out motorcyclists ? Sounds like there is an agenda behind the ad's.

    I like the angle on it too. Well done.

    However, not every motorcyclist fits the criteria listed. I'd say only a handful do and ironically, they're probably the most likely of us all to make the appointment.

    Why pick on sprotsbikes, they are more capable of safe cornering (ridden sensibly) than cruisers or tourers. Not picking on those marques, but why single out sprotsbikes. When confronted with an issue on the road I prefer to know I can ride around it if all else fails. That's me however. I prefer a Subaru all wheel drive to a 300kw jappa with front wheel drive.
    Caution is not a substitute for skill :no

    And it should onlt be a handful .... to me that was part of t he point ... but maybe I am reading it wrong ... I don't think that all of us or in fact many of us fit what it says ... but it seems a stong message to those who do.

    True

    Yes deaths do strengthen their arguments but why the hell do they not advertise about the bloody morons who drive cars and cause deaths and usually to other innocent people? If a rider kills themselves that is thier problem if a car driver kills their passengers, other motorists or pedestrians it becomes other peoples problems.
