I just used my skill set Mark- dribbling to customers to settle arguments...turned it round and played the Customer LOL

Chur bro

I have asked Paul Henry in a private e-mail (thanks mr Producer) to champion our cause, he has classic cars and is likely sympathetic somewhat

can only hope, politico's are quite scared of wee Paul

He read out a 'short and too the point' email this morning which said something like ''its the cars fault not us bikers, they just say sorry I didnt see you'' (eluding to crashes)...Henry stated '' best sell ya bike and buy a car then''.

But what knob would send an email saying something like that?

If PH reads the PH crossed the line KB poll he will classify us with his respect for road maggots.

Excellant letter Brent. Good on ya!

Don't show your ignorance to the whole country by talking about LTSA,you need to refer to NZTA, New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) now.Also don't alienate your brother off road and scooter motorcyclists - you might just need their support....or don't you want numbers on your side?

Well done stoney mate, superb effort.

I notice also that on the programme that followed it, another very good letter lambasting the ACC ,from a motorcycling member of staff, (I think), was read out and discussed fairly favourably from our perspective.

It gets repeated often enough on KB, so I'm not surprised it came out on Breakfast. I nearly cried when I heard it though!

The more evidence we can give that we are not stupid, brain dead nongs who are only interested in killing ourselves, the better. Letters like this are good for showing that people on bikes actually have brains.

Why is it not included as a clip on TVNZ's site, specifically the feedback one:

A whole lot of waffling, including "car's fault" guy, but not yours.

Perhaps it was TOO POWERFUL!

Mark Sainbury is also a Norton buff and Richard Driver and Andrew Shaw (TV producers) are bikers
