Bikers getting pulled over at Battle Hill & Featherston (15 February)

[Flossi]

1. we didn't supply anyone with sausages...
2. fine then, pay for your own course, don't go asking for motorcycle handling courses then saying you don't want help paying for them

and I meant WE will help fund them. I pay taxes too...

[Fatjim]

Oh, and another of my tasks for this year to do with motorcycles is to investigate the need for motorcycle handling courses, etc.

Yes!........ No need for a survey now. Oh and you could investigate

Gravel on sealed roads (no good)
Desiel spill from trucks (no good at all)
People crossing the centre line on narrow roads (Bloody hell!)
Tar snakes (as bad as gravel)


I don't think we need a surevy for any of them really, nor do they need investigating. Just fast forward straight to the fixing thank you.

[Madness]

Hey, I think the funding of handling courses from public money is great. Just don't try & make it sound like you (ACC) are paying for sausages out of your own hard-earned rego money.

Everybody, do the Hutt Valley course, they will have better smallgoods by the looks of it.

+1...

And the cleaning up of the loose marbles after roadworks have been completed... a sweeper would sort it out for everyone, not just bikes... instead of the current "the cars will sweep it all away... eventually..." approach.

But then the fookers couldn't justify leaving the 30k signs up for up to a month after the works have finished. Another ACC conspiracy??

Thats part of the "leave it to the cars to sweep it all away.... eventually..." policy....

I remember talking to the south island commissioner of works, (the old MOW used to be run as almost seperate NI/SI entities way back then) during a visit up norf. He was appaled at the NI practice of letting general traffic complete the compacting job. SOP in the south was to use FUCKING BIG ROLLERS until the job was ready to sweep, no way in hell was traffic allowed on the road until then.

I know the asphalt compounds are different now, though, it takes more time for the light ends to evaporate. The road outside here, for example, was still curing 3 weeks after being laid, you could see the solvents still washing out into the gutters in last weeks rain. Was finally swept properly just yesterday.

again, I'm NOT from ACC....
we didn't DO sausages in Featherston
Wairarapa is not the Hutt Valley

just to correct a few minor errors in the thought processes there

Sorry, it's all the drugs and the heat exhaustion from riding all day.

Can I get a ACC rego rebate if I didn't get any sausages?.

Thought processes . You give them too much credit.

Well, if I bypass featherston , where's the nearest place I *can* get a sausage?

And what sort of sausages are they ? I'm very particular about my sausages ?

And are your sausages prepared in accordance with the Food Good Manufacturing Code ? Do you have HACCP certification for your susage operation?

Food poisoning is a major problem in NZ. Are we confident that ACC are aware of the dangers of what they do? Perhaps we should get the police to assist us in persuading the Road Safety Coordinators to fill out a Food Safety questionaire ?

[Usarka]

Thought processes . You give them too much credit.

Yeah, I hate them. They are stupid.

[Ixion]

Well, do *you* do sausages ? I mean, there's an offer of sausages on the table from Flossie (quality TBA). You've got to at least meet that if you're going to stay in the game.

[Flossi]

sheesh, you guys just have sausages on the brain

[Ixion]

Bikers have a keen and instinctive appreciation of the important things in a situation.

Questionaires come and questionaires go, but a sausage is always a sausage. Until I eat it of course.

If you *really* want to get biker particpation, you need to offer pies.

The floor is open for suggestions as to what flavour of pies Flossie is going to organise.
