Good idea.

Let's start with used car salesmen and work our way up to hairdressers and politicians.

After that I think we can take a rest for.. Ohh.. 500 years before their species comes back and we need another cull.

Katman

You do know you don't make a bit of difference with what you say Katman, no one respects you because of the way you act, your an asshole & you seem to lament on this fact. Ill even go as far as saying your mad rantings (and that's putting it nicely) have nothing to do with motorcycles or their riders but more to do with your own personal struggle with life. You are quite obviously pissed off with the cards you have been dealt & choose to vent on an unrelated subject.

Go see a shrink or get a dog

I would have to disagree. Sometimes he comes across as an asshole but I find most of his posts are quite funny. Plus he knows how to get someone to bite. Not sure he needs a dog. He gets plenty of bites on this website.

You seem to be the one with a crap load of red rep & a tonne of abuse hurdled at you on a regular basis, so who is the cock?

No-one? This sort of thing pisses me off. You're welcome to your own opinion of Katman, and you're entitled to express it on this forum, within reason, but please don't try to enlist the rest of the world in your support. It's playground bully stuff, saying "we don't like you" when all you're entitled to say is "I don't like you".

I'm aware of the risks, and I'm willing to take those risks, because otherwise I'd just spend my whole life in a padded room wearing over mits som I'm sure I dont hurt myself.

On the other hand, large SUV vehicles and caravans have a nasty habbit of ploughing into other vehicles and causing the death of innocent third parties.

Not cool.

Ban the drivers who drive 4WD/SRV
and trukies and buses. Hell every body can just ride bikes.

Am I missing something? Here in the UK we have 60 million people and 35-40 million vehicles. You guys have, what?, 4 million people spread over 2 islands. Just what is traffic congestion in NZ?

My 12 mile journey to work used to be filtering past at least 5 miles of bumper to bumper very slow traffic.................every day...........even weekends.
It can take 5 hours to travel 150 miles on 3 lane motorway due to the volume of traffic. Bank holiday weekends we have been known to have tailbacks of 30 or more miles on the M1 and M6 motorways.

Our best bike roads are saturated with half-wit drivers who think overtaking is illegal and block any attempt to "make progress", and more worryingly, half-wit riders who throw themselves at the scenery (and other road users) with alarming regularity.

you do seem to have the same problems as us with over zealous enforcement though. If we do get to come over there will it be any better or are we just swapping like for like with a different accent?

I'm confused now...................................

Two things you will learn quickly when you come here.

1. Kiwis think they know what congestion is. They don't, however they contribute dramatically to the problem with their piss poor attitude to owning the road. They don't indicate, they don't let merging lanes do their job, they will cut you up if "steal" their space in the commute and they will drive on the open road at speeds of 10-30 km/hr under the speed limit and block over taking moves and ignore a giant tailback they have created. Aucklanders think 1-2 hours in a car is a long time and Wellingtonians will bitch about 45-60 minutes spent in a car. I don't think the inhabitants of Christchurch complain about anything except not being allowed to wear their Swastikas in public.

2. Kiwis are about the worst drivers in the world, excluding the Indian Sub-Continent and parts of Russia.
