I blame Fish.

Good on you Les - good to see you on the TV putting forth a good cause.

I think I'll wait a while before buying another bike though.. hehe I just renewed my cars registration...

Oi ! Don't you diss my wooly pully. I inherited a bunch of them from my father-in-law when he died, and very warm and cosy they are, too. . And Mrs Ixion tells me its "Fair Isle", not anything from Forn Parts.

Fair Isle eh?....you sure she doesn't mean ferral?....

I think the wooly was a good move - a cuddly fatherly figure is better representing us than the usual 'biker' image TV likes of a smelly-hairy-foulmouthed-toothless-lowbrow.

Of course apologies to any smelly-hairy-foulmouthed-toothless-lowbrow's on KB that I may have offended ............ .... back to your porn........

[Ixion]

Fair Isle eh?....you sure she doesn't mean ferral?....

Apparently not. The derivation, I am advised, is from Fair Isle, one of the Shetland Isles off Scotland , where, I understand, the knitting of garments in such patterns is a traditional homecraft.

You certainly have a way with words, we needs someone like you to head the ACC bullshit.

Well done.

Yep, that's pretty much the KiwiBiker way - shoot down anyone that has the audacity to have an opinion that differs from the mob.

[MSTRS:Me]

It's not the difference of opinion that is the problem. No...that poster declared himself to be the enemy.

[twotyred]

great job Mr Ixion sir

Couldnt have said it better myself, thats gold that statement

Wow!
Scarey!

Sounds almost like the real world in general....

I think he did a great job - he certainly did a better go of it than the ACC GM. It doesn't matter how many people double check the equation... $77 x 3.2 million (or whatever the figure is) is still in excess of $200M.

Top Job Sir IX. Liked the way he (Walrus mouth) tried to talk over you at the end but you didn't let it happen.

$200 million going somewhere.... guess those accountants and PR consultants for ACC are rolling in it.... as are the management......

Ah. Somebody gets it.

We need the public on our side. At this stage anyway. The public perception of bikers is all too often tattooed dreadlocked bruisers with an antisocial attitude. Well, the sooner they are priced off the road the better says Joe Q Public , that deep and incisive thinker. Or smarmy yuppies who can easily afford to pay what for the damage their toys do. Make them pay their fair sahre, why should I subsidise them, says Joe Q.

But a gentle unthreatening old man, just like Dad ?

There will eb a time for a switch to an agressive mode. But not yet.

NIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice........

Calm, cool and collected comes across far better than frothing at the mouth, baying for blood.....

Keep up the good work, dad.........

I'm not bagging anyone.

I'm just saying that there has to be a better public face for our campaign.

And he hasn't been bagging anyone. I follow where you are coming from, but a fake presenter all dollied up stepping into the role will be shown up.

.....Then perhaps the trade should get together and have a rider/lawyer on salary who can speak a hundred words per minute and have a PA that can type a 1500 word speech at the drop of the hat !

The OP on the other hand ........

At a cost of... what? $400 per hour, give or take? Then add on the wages for the PA.....

How much is "Dad" charging?

Well done on your first post on here. I smell a rat.

Dude, you shoulda done a wee bit more research before you go blabbling your fucking mouth off like that.....now you look like a complete shitstick....so go an register yourself a new name on Kiwibikers and we can pretend you never spoke such shite!

Well spotted. My thoughts too. Anyone else spot the obvious troll?

A newbie signup, no posts, with a clanger opener......

Wonder where his signup came from - whose computor......

Spankme might be able to look into it.... and name and shame....?

Shoot down?
Red signifies a differing opinion.
A differing opinion is free will. Are you suggesting we shouldn't allow free will on KB?
Many of us disagree with his position he has been told, had we agreed he would have been told also.
Just as he's welcome to his opinion and we are just as welcome to ours.
Simply because the majority happens to disagree doesn't make it a "mob" situation any more than you and he are in a mob of 2.

Is Les your Dad?.....

Oi ! Don't you diss my wooly pully. I inherited a bunch of them and very warm and cosy they are, too.

Dad?

[oldrider]

Did not see it. But he's standing up and being counted. Good enough for me.


It's no mean feat walking into a studio. It's an alien place.

I thought Les did a great job of representing us bikers on TV1 Close up, he certainly out classed the high cost, highly trained professional ACC representative!

Les earned my respect and I for one feel proud and honoured to be represented (in this case) by him, I thought he was excellent!

We may be poles apart politicly but on this I am 100% behind him, especially the way he conducted himself and represented our case!

Thank you Les!
