Public perception.

Thats not what this thread is about.

So fuckin' sue me.

What the hell is wrong with you? You are so fixed on what you think is right you cant even think about what others are saying when you ask for opinions. Whats the point in these threads, they are only about YOU and just YOU.

You obviously care about saving lives.. we all care, go out and do something constructive instead of being on KB baiting people and ignoring what they have to say. Wasted enough time.

Can we do a poll on public perception of "bikers" as opposed to motorcyclist?

To me.. there is a difference.

Do you agree that its absurd to think that people who see some dick on a bike then think that all motorcyclists are dicks? Because I do. Do you agree that some car driver who has a bad experience with a motorcyclist isnt going to take it out on the next person they see on a bike, they had a bad experience with a dick not the bike.

If you are a smaller minority group then the actions of a few can create a public perception. This makes a perfect example....

Can anyone else see the irony of this?

[Katman]

Well that thread makes for some very interesting reading.

[mstriumph]

Hot headed?

nahhhhh - i mean, we ALL think that - right?

hmmm... yes... a bunch of bad-ass rebel motorcyclists quoting road rules and saying that if other road users can't follow them - then they have no sympathy for any accidents they may have.

There are so many posts in that thread that I'd love to quote in here but I just don't know where to start.

[dipshit]

Oh no! Such things don't apply to them! Their shit doesn't stink.

You two should get a room - you sound like you might be meant for each other

Thats not what this thread is about. You asked the question, about public perception, this is why we cant have a conversation with you via threads. You change the topic to avoid answering the questions or our posts.

Fuck what about the people killed by drunk drivers.... I say we ban all CARS, problem solved!!

Or lets ban all people who are dicks from owning a bike!

How about you give me some example of the people being run off the road by cagers who are intent on revenge on all motorcyclist's.

I was once stopped in Greytown and beaten up by a car load of Black Power members because some guys on bikes had cut another one of their members up and the unsecured three year old daughter had hit the the dashboard from the back seat during the evasive moves to avoid the bikers behaving like cocks.

I was on my Rg250, so it would have been about 1989. They broke a rib and messed my face up before asking if I knew who the guys on the other bikes were.

Don't tell me it doesn't happen. You never know when you are going to meet a psycho in a car.

Rubbish. Judging by recent experiences I'm pretty sure I'll meet a psycho in a car on every ride. (having said that chances are high I'll also meet a psycho on a bike).


I've had normally sane rational people tell me they close gaps on bikes filtering at lights etc because they get angry that the bikes get to the front of the queue.

Well, OK, point taken.

Not quite the impact of Jims post but I had a car driver try and run me off the road on the way to the Paeroa street races earlier this year.

I guess he'd just gotten sick and tried of motorcyclists acting like cocks around him.
