Don't look now

"Police urge motorcyclists to focus on road, not scenery
4:00AM Thursday Dec 04, 2008

Motorcyclists visiting the Coromandel and Hauraki districts need to keep their eyes on the road and off the views to avoid accidents, police say."



I can't decide whether this piece of 'advice' beggars belief or the possibility exists that some touring bikers 'actually' take in the views.

A poll seems the only way to answer this.

If you don't notice the scenery then you should slow down. The offs come from going way too quick - not from people dawdling looking at the scenery.

if people want to look at the scenery, stop at one of the many "lookouts", i dont want some knob wobbling across the centreline at 15kph because he was distracted by a good looking flock of geep under a pohutukawa tree, next to the beach.

Concentrate on riding / the road / other road users / that dog on the side of the road - then when I have time I take in the scenery where appropriate.

Sometimes I get to looks around heaps - other times I don't - it all depends on the conditions.

if i keep my eyes on the road how am i supposed to see if the harley riders wave to me? thats the most important thing to look for isnt it?

[Usarka]

I keep my eyes on my speedo. My bike will explode and kill me and 12 innocent bystanders if I speed.
