We need to get the general public to support us. That is the whole idea of media coverage. I feel that there must be a better spokesperson for our cause.

Instead of blowing your trumpet Katman why dont you lead from the front. Step up or fuck up.

The choice of clothes was perfect. You really came across as the average bloke and I bet you challenged a lot of people's perceptions of what a biker was.

Considering its only your second time on telly interviews you're learning fast.

I'm proud of you. You've got my support.

Yeah +2 !!!! Having only just this second seen the close up debate ! (Sorry been busy drinking)!!!
The choice of driving to the interview was outstanding !!!
Helmet hair on a muggy night does nothing for ya TV look Mr Ixion !!
Handsome kiwi bloke doing a handsome job !
Must say the presenter, (Typical media attitude) loved (and prayed apon) you having the good Dr stammering !!

Maybe in other channels like Maori TV or Asia Down Under or something. But the exposure we've got in terms of Air Times, so far is very impressive.

Sold a Tshirt to someone in Maori TV today, we also sold shirts to England as well as a few Labour Party @parliment.govt.nz email address holders.............................no Im not saying who.

I vote this thread be burned, the ashes ground up, mixed with petrol and burned again.

Arguing about who is or isn't the best pin-up for the battle against the evil acc is rubbish, if the non-motorcyclist public was to read this, what would their impression be ?

United we stand, divided we get bum fucked by acc..

The woman you refer to is a KBer. Perhaps you might take the time to find out her name on here and off if you want her to represent you?

Jeez Steve the way you're going some of these fellas might be considering knocking you back to next week.

Might be time to accept you're pissing in the breeze here...

**chanceyy** · 22nd October 2009, 20:37

I thought Ixion was the perfect person to represent us .. who else would you have .. some young fella with no credibility or someone like katman whose every second word is fuck ..

Ixion represents a vast majority of bikers, & spoke well considering the short period .. certainly better than the dr so & so .. didn't know it was suppose to be a beauty contest

Didn't read the whole thread. IMHO I think Ixion did a great job, had the ACC DOCTOR scrambling for words basically the whole way through the VERY SHORT interview. I don't even ride a bike...I still think this situation is ridiculous..
Well done Ixion.

I just watched the segment on Close Up again and I find it hard to fault Les at all! He got the points across in a clear, orderly fashion, where the ACC guy kept stumbling and repeating himself. I sure as hell couldn't have done that well speaking to an audience of 10 people off air, let alone a nation on live tv!

Sorry for not being as 'bright' as you would like Steve but............

Is not a motorcyclist, passionate about motorcycling, who represents motorcyclists, who is willing to stand up and be counted, front a TV camera on live national television, who is able to think on his feet and give valid constructive rebuttal not good enough in your book then?
