Idiot on R6 in CHCH

[quickbuck]

Yea that's unfortunate but its only that... Unfortunate. At the end of the day its the riders life that gets fucked up if the bin without gear, its just not so pretty for the bystanders. Id rather watch someone skined on the road then be the one in hospital dying of the infections because they were wearing a singlet on their gsxr... But that didn't happen anyway...

Yep, it's all okay..... I pay enough ACC levies to cover it all.....

*tear/*... If he had crashed it wouldn't affect what rates you pay, 0.0001% of the levies would just be spent on him rather then the next guy to root his self on the road.

then the next guy to root his self on the road.

Shit it was 36 degrees in CHCH today - if the next guy got his knob anywhere near the road, little lone actually started to physically root it, he'd be badly burnt.

Well no it doesn't affect the rate I pay at all..... It is just that I used to pay a shit load less once!

[Whynot]

wow! 10 cars in Christchurch .... must have been rush hour

Hey, blame it on all these old farts that are crashing left right and center! Reminds me of the episode of southpark tonight. The solution was (and may be in NZ's case) to block off all access to food for all senior citizens and wait for them to grow weak and incapacitated by lunchtime, thus leaving the streets clear for all other road users to travel in safety during the remaining afternoon.

Not quite sure how to answer that one...

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.

sweet you obviously dont give any thought to the thousands of volunteer and paid staff that go and clean up the mess , your right its not your problem eh?......but it could be one day ....your problem I mean....but then when the siren goes off I tell you what, if its you in trouble It wont be my business so I guess I wont have to go!.

tell ya what ...next time you ride carelessly and crash your right it wont be your problem, but when your riding carelessly have a thought for us poor sods who have to leave our workplaces, loved ones, family's to come try and save your arse .....

people do have a right to do what they want...I am not going to say or preach that you shouldnt ride how you ride, all I want is for you to stop and think first.

Not really the point I was trying to make. For the record, half my family is cops, the other inherited half is in the fire service. So yes, I do feel for them, but as long as these people are doing everything under the law that they need to (i.e. wearing a helmet, holding the correct license), then I'm not going to criticize them for it. It's not my place.

I am one of those ATGATT buffoons, if i'm just going round the corner i'm in boots, gloves, jacket and helmet.

I never said I ride carelessly. Merely that I don't give a toss what other people choose to wear on their own bikes as long as they are complying with the law.

I'm a rider, who doesn't care what other people are wearing. Hence the 'careless rider' bit. It was all in context.

But to the more serious issue at hand here... What the fuck is going on in your avatar

[quickbuck]

Hey, blame it on all these old farts that are crashing left right and center!

I can't... as the Levy for a 4 wheeled vehicle is no where near what it is for two..... Unless you are talking about old farts on bikes... in which case you has better be careful.

We can pin a bit on our motocross mates though.... but in reality their skills are actually valuable on the road.

So where is the link to these lies? Sorry, Statistics?

[wbks]

In the thread about Coromandel crashers it was brought up numerous times with quite a few references to 2007 statistics. I can't be bothered dragging it up though... Assuming by the nerve I hit you are one of these elderly suicide riders, and thats fine. Just warn me by PM when you are about to disembark on your meals on wheel's poker run...
