When "No other vehicles were involved" its pretty obvious... Most motorcyclists will know the power of (their) life is in their hands.

The average Herald Reader ... "hmmm, I'm not going to ever let my kid ride a bike, ever, they're dangerous" ... "now I'll read the entertainment news and promptly forget all about that article, because as a non-biker, it's just white noise to me"

And over at the NZ Voice of Biking (Kiwibiker) ....

"9 pages of snarl, spit, hiss, name calling, in-fighting, tempers rising."

"what are we gonna argue over next? Ohhh look Carver's gonna do another stunt!!"

Hehe (tongue in cheek)

BRONZ sure has done a good job of brainwashing you lot.

Oh no, it can't be true, it can't be true!

I prefer the next page of the factsheet actually, where it breaks the injuries down and we find 745/1518 Rural injuries were lost control/ran off road

I disliked the tone in which that article was written. I dont believe its as bad as it was made out to be, thus the comment about the sources and ambiguity, but we're heading that way. Should we be concerned? Yep.

It's like saying that people on 4 wheeler farm bikes have four wheels so they should be included in car statistics.....

Ere! I wear shorts and a T and sand-shoes in summer! Still got all my skin after forty years of riding.
