1) The odd ball trumpy

I have seen that Trumpy a few times now, its rather interesting with the cylinders mounted backwards.

Ahh yes the truck driver at Springfield...not a happy camper at all, and who could blame him? Being passed on blind corners, being given the fingers for not letting bikes past when its not possible to do so, huge speeds when passing. Well done people.

Though on the ride over on the Saturday there was a bit of carnage with a Daytona deciding to straighten out a bend just past Porter's the rider got a free flight back to ChCh with possible back injuries.

And then not far past Otira a some muppet decided to take on a Car on a single lane bridge :slap: not good seeing a bike partially hidden behind a roadworks truck and the soles of the pillions High Heels & a Helmet left at the roadside

Well... thats why I started this thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=90518 times are kinda going back to the dark ages where we are considered bad bikie bastards and tempory NZer's

Thats appalling D! Totally agree with the sentiments of your thread. The idiocy you detail (coupled with the Akaroa carnage) is just the excuse the pollies and Mr Plod need to make our lives a misery. All the good work done by the likes of RRRS and BRONZ to give bikers some credibility is being diluted if not destroyed. "We" really are becoming our own worst enemy
