ACC's NEW WEBSITE

[Groins_NZ]

Hi all

I found out about ACC's new website today, for motorcyclists (I think it was mentioned on KB before, during its development).

Haven't had a chance to look at it myself.

Heres the link if you didn't already know...
www.rideforever.co.nz

What are some of your comments?

Interesting to note that KB is third on the links list, just after the AA and BRONZ.

Ulysses and WIMA are right down the bottom...

Go KB!

Go KB!

Except for KB, Ulysses and WIMA, are those others actually clubs (like KB)?
"Err, yeah bro, I ride with the Traffic Accidents Commision, Victoria Posse"?
I think motorcycle LINKS would have been a better description.

So far looks informative. Will reply with thoughts later.

ROTFL!

Oh dear.

Be still, my delusions of grandeur...

In my own defense, I have yet to drink any coffee this morning. I obviously need to remedy that.

good stuff- looks like the sort of information that the NSW motorcyclist awareness site (I think it is) has on it. About time

Looks good. Only had a breif look, but seems comprehensive. Apparently the external pockets, straps and buckles on my Teknics synthetic jacket are all a very bad thing... wish I'd thought of that before I bought it.
Oh well, the wife thinks the leather jacket looks better on anyway

How the hell can ya get to that time of day without an expresso?

ROTFL!

Did you really ROTFL? I want photographic proof since you get so upset at the use of ROTFL, LMAO and LOL in conversations.
I bet you just sniggered a bit, blushed because you've been caught out, and maybe bent forward a bit and held your ribs.

The TV Advert "Lookout For Bikes" appears to be cut short.

Insurance links?

Related to Insurance: In the gear section how about the best way to get insurance cover for your gear, since insurance companies classify leathers as "clothing" and therefore de-value it!!! And you can't insure them with your motorbike, which is just plain stupid.

The ThinkSafe posters on the Campaigns page aren't big enough and/or clear enough to read the text at the bottom (which is actually quite clever ... the text, i mean).

Bike Hire & Touring: add http://www.nzbikes.co.nz

Nice site. Easy to navigate & interesting. Nice balance of information, ways to deliver the information, and text-pics balance good.

Slim: did you post that as feedback to the site? :unsure:

No. For some reason I had got the impression that Groins was in on the development of the site ... until I just re-read it now.

Will copy & paste it to feedback through the site now.

That page is for clubs AND advocates, so lumping stuff like the AA in there is the best place to put it I s'pose.

[Blakamin]

I agree Slim... I think they should have at least found a biker to do it instead of handing some uber-geek a coupla bits of A4 and sayin "Build a bike site"...

as for the external pocket thing... I'd rather my pocket ripped off than be stabbed by whatever is still in my jacket (about a week ago, I stopped putting tools in pockets coz I wondered what would happen if I landed on them)

I don't think so, but I do know two people on the ACC consultation group for motorcyclists.
