Idiot on R6 in CHCH

Get a gun and shoot the fuck.

But there was no off, no mess

So just who are you to tell someone else how to ride?

I'm a person who makes mistakes like everyone else, i'm a person who minimises the risk where I can, and I'm a person who has scraped many an injured or dead body off the road to know it's not just about the freedom of riding as you wish....

I didn't make it obvious that we were traveling north at about 60 km/h on my original post. Anyway regarding me telling other people how to ride, do you think that this was safe? How do you think that looked to the other car drivers? Regarding the singlet, the point was lack of gear not the colour. I stated the colour so that if the rider was on this forum, he'd know I meant him. By the way, he wore no gloves either. This sort of riding in a built up area just adds fuel to the fire that seems to be building up against us in the papers and on the talkback lately. Whether its our fault or not, we're on a hiding to nothing, riding like the R6 rider did, makes it worse. My two cents worth.

Wouldn't we be better off shooting the scared SafetyNazis who think they can tell others how to dress, ride and live?

Quickly now, before they ruin ALL the fun

Id rather be a motorcyclist ,

than a cop, a politician, a catholic priest,A Maori,
A Pacific Islander, A Asian, An Arab)= their the ones who get "THE Bad press"

as for the bad press, for bike rider,s --------what bad press

go out and ask some one on the street , what they think about bike riders, ,,, guess what, they'll tell you fuck all,

Because they dont give a fuck,

but ask them about ,The cops, a politician, a catholic priest,A Maori,
A Pacific Islander, A Asian, An Arab, I think you might get more of a answer.

You might not like how someone rides,
but i think saying it puts all of us in a bad light, is crap.

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would...

Holy crap. Splitting 2 lanes of traffic.... At least he was not splitting 3 lanes of traffic.... or splitting hairs like the original post.

Maybe it's that fact that he did it at speed? Not much point in splitting if you are going the same speed as the cagers, is there?

I guess his real crime is the fact that he was wearing a black singlet. Now that is a crime!

How about bike riders with horns on their helmets?

I also believe that around the time of the tragic accident where 3 riders died there was a lot of discussion on the TV about motorcycles and riders. My non-riding family members are often mentioning to me about someone they have observed riding carelessly.

Hmmmmm.... I'm a cop, a motorcyclist, I have a maori cousin, went to a catholic school and I have chinese friends in Hong Kong how say you???? Seriously, I think you need to attend a Responsiveness to Maori course, the Police College run them regularly, I could get you on one if you like as a non-sworn attendee. You'd have to come up with a koha though. Have a chat with your rangitira and see what they say. Kia Ora

I'm a careless rider.

i.e. I don't give a fuck what you're riding in as long as you have a Helmet on. It's none of my fucking business. If you fall off and get nailed that's your problem, not mine.

[Nagash]

do you think that this was safe?

Hahaha, funniest line in this thread..

Yesterday at about 2.45 pm, while driving over the Styx Bridge with my kids on board an idiot on a blue R6 decided he would ride between 2 lanes of traffic, at speed (about 10 cars) with a pillion on the back. Your black singlet made you look even more of a tosser.

What difference does it make having the sprogs aboard ? Other than the "think of the chillllldrrreeennnnnn !!!!!!!" factor.
