Why I hate "look how fast I ride" videos.

Are you for fucking real?

What percentage of NZ's public do you think motorcyclists make up?

We need a whole lot more support than just from motorcyclists before we have the slightest hope of being taken seriously by the government.

Yip all rego'd bikes on NZ roads only make up 8% so we need tons of other support to even be looked at

Ok, I'll spell it out because you seem a little slow on the uptake.

T.H.E. G.E.N.E.R.A.L. P.U.B.L.I.C. D.O.N'.T. G.I.V.E. A. F.U.C.K. A.B.O.U.T. M.O.T.O.R.C.Y.C.L.I.S.T.S. F.R.E.E.D.O.M.

Clear enough?

The general public is the one's who have never riden or even sat on a bike and just seem to never see us.
Katman i think you've got it spot on.
One way to get the public to notice us is with ever car licence issued they need to either apply for a bike licence or be taken on a ride that has filtering as part of it then they'l notice us and there stupidity.

so they're not the "general public" that make comments like "nice bike" when you pull up somewhere then.....

No, they're probably gay.

ok that covers that then, so any member of the "general public" that makes a coment about bikes in general is gay then...glad thats settled

[wbks]

Stify stop being a stify and trying to be shitty bout the post you know what everyone is on about and i think you are just trying to have a stir and making yourself sound like an idiot. And yeah they can say nice bike when you pull up somewhere but do they say nice bike when they pull in front of you while doing 110 on the motorway and say sorry didn't see ya ???

Anyone know where i can get a radar dector from besides the rip off's at radar direct??

Better that they say that, rather than "Small dick then?!" (due to McJim's IL4 theory!)

Katman, I think every fallen rider that is ever talkd about or thought of has more of an effect on us hoons then you ever will.
I dont mind if the public hates me either, they are welcome to.
Why dont you spend time talking about close calls that you experience not the ones you imagine .

For instance. I get into trouble when I relax and start thinking about things other than surviving this journey

I haven't driven a car in months. I drove one home yesterday and for the first time I actually thought I am safer on a bike then driving a car.

And yeah stify stop being a stify!

O im sorry stify

Man dont talk bout close calls i have at least 3 a week trying to survive from constelation to green lane west. Maybe i should stop filtering? Na not me i cant sit in the traffic.
And to the guy on the DRZ 400 this morning thanks for the good ride.

These serve no purpose other than to encourage new motorcycle riders to think "Fuck, I bet I could do that road just as fast".

I can hear the answers already.........

"I'm trying to showcase New Zealands natural beauty" - bullshit, you'd go slower.

"You're never going to stop new rider from being idiots" - maybe, but we sure as fuck don't need to encourage them.
