Hypothetical situation

He's too busy posing in front of the mirror in his tiger striped undies to get to the computer man.

(Next time I say hello at a protest say hello back Of all the bikes flying about that day, two people on B-Kings made me really look)

Sorry for not recognising ya

So YOU have decided to throw in a racist angle into this ... from what I have read that is not only inappropriate but untrue ... I think that it is the result of his actions and the potential consquences on others of him not taking responsbility for his own actions that has bought this about.

Are you black?

I'd man up. What's the worst that could happen? You'd have to pay for a mistake!!! But by the judge of things on here, we're already offering to help should the person in question not be able to afford it. A single moment of madness amongst 7000 bikes not bad at all...

If you took that post as being serious then I have serious doubts about your ability to see things for what they are - which I would have thought was a skill required in order to be a Moderator.

It's your lucky day, here's one I prepared earlier.

Ah, I think you may have the wrong thread here. There were only 5 bikes.
Sure madness was one of them, but it wasn't exactly his fault.

Consider this...

There have been quite a few posts in here that sum up some of the consequences that Rider A may have faced already, prior to the case being heard. With some inside knowledge, I can add to this the following:

On the day of the incident, Rider A had to go home and tell their partner of the charge. At the time the partner had been receiving courses of both Chemo & Radiation therapy (they give you that when you have Cancer).

Since the day (now 5 months ago), Rider A has had the weight of the charges hanging over them, like a very dark cloud. Not a day goes by when they don't consider how the fuck they will get to work & back each day, without putting their (sick) partner to unwanted inconvenience, should they get convicted.

Since not long after the day, Rider A has had their bike in the shed, rego on hold. It aint much fun sitting home all weekend brooding, especially when you read threads on KB about certain fuckwits pulling wheelstands in front of the Poo-lice and getting away with it.

Since the day, Rider A has paid $500 to a Lawyer and got SFA for their money. They have now found a more affordable Lawyer, possibly requiring only another $1000 to defend them. As Death mentioned, the first Lawyer wanted $5,500 just for the defended hearing.

So far Rider has taken one day off work, another day off pending and all before a defended hearing date has been set.

Rider A has had to put off plans to buy their first home, the legal bills were scaring the crap out of them.

Rider A had no idea that other riders were pulling wheelstands at the time of the incident, they were at the front and looking forward, trying to get home to their sick partner. It's only since the day that they learned what was going on behind them.

The last time Rider A pulled a wheelstand was in 1991, on an RM250 and it was by accident. Rider A does not pull wheelstands, let alone on S.H.1 in a traffic jam, on the wrong side of double-yellows.

Yes, the Poo-lice suck. Rider's A & F are not asking anyone to take the rap for them, it's purely about assuming responsibility for ones own actions, as opposed to being a gutless wonder who is prepared to let someone else pay for their fuck-ups.

Madness,

just read through this whole thread today and the above is the post that struck me as the most important.

It's pretty clear to me that the two riders who did the wheelies (and were seen by the cops) need to sack up. They can't call themselves true men while they don't.

But, the main reason for my post is to say that I too went through my partner having cancer. Year and a half of absolute shit is what it was and the last thing I would have possibly wanted was a looming disqualification because some arsewipes don't know the meaning of "personal responsibility".
For those that haven't been through this all I can say is that it is very rare to find a happy moment while treatment is going on and you don't need any help from the outside world creating other problems at a time like this.

Just because someone can get away with something doesn't mean that they should do so - a lesson that most people learn through their parents - obviously missing in the case of these two riders.
I believe that they are relatively young but that doesn't excuse their selfishness - hopefully they will find this thread again when they are about ten years or so older and realise what selfish sacks of shite they were to you.

Hope the missus is doing OK. Mine made it through and has been clear for the last year (but bloody three month checkups make everything come back to haunt you regularly). Switching to six month checkups soon (can't wait).
