Letter in Saturday's Harold - Police to target motorcyclists

[caseye]

Another post which does nothing to correct your last wild arse guess, and you also said at post #77, "I cannot authoritatively comment on the 5kph worse than 80mcg thing, though it sounds total garbage.", and "What is this report you mention? Does it have an author? I'll write to them and blow them up. And demand authority for their other claim"

I believe the report was cited in post #80, but you have made no comment on your claims.

Hey some respect for one of the very few people here in KB land who has actually done pretty much all that they said they would and can speak from actual experience of their own! As the BRONZ leader for the Auckland arera and the man who helped the guys and gilrs in Welly get things organised to the point that over 7000 bikers converged on Welly in an orderly and civil fashion,f Ixion deserves at least a passing acknowledgement of his and BRONZ's achievements of late.
I know nothing of your background or profession but I'd venture quite safetly, to say that for sure your'e no Police officer, so your own opinion is as suspect as any others.
In case you didn't know it as BRONZ's spokesperson for quite somtime, it behoves Ixion to know many things.I'd be a littel less eager to jump at his throat if I was you.
I for one would be amongst the many who would rip your own out for such insolence!

I don't think that you would get done for the riding in the right wheel track, as the road code says, that is where you are meant to ride. ie the front of the car's driver's main vision.

Once you get some pace on (open road), you have to swap from side to side, as its just too easy to clip a white line, or worse still, a catseye, usually with really scary or disasterous consequences.

Actually, with a name like "Red Mermaid", he could be CVIU....

Guarantee it. He certainly presents arrogantly enough to be one.

I think you are right on the button JD......I think he used to post on here under a different log on...nasty piece of works, he was.....

....
Moral = motor cycles are dangerous, don't do it and don't let anyone you love or have influence over do it either.

i.e. - the same view as the last 55 yrs.........

sorry bro..laws cant be "subjective"..

far as im concerned.. if someone pulls me up on a "subjective" law.. better be prepared for a long court fight

Unfortunately, most people don't have the money and/or time for a "long court fight".

So because Ixion does a bit of organising it gives him the right to pronounce all he wants on the police, and from what he says, I know he knows bugger all about what he is talking about.

hey, why logically dispute something when you can just call the poster an idiot!

[James Deuce]

It's a well respected Internet forum technique that.

it gives him the right to pronounce all he wants on the police, and from what he says, I know he knows bugger all about what he is talking about.

Well come on then, instead of attacking the man try pointing out where he is wrong or at least where he may have said something not quite correct.
As for knowing what he's talking about, you seem to have missed my initial point.Ixion has for many years researched many things to do with motorcyclists govt depts etc, I'd be very surprised if he was far off the mark at all.
Come in here with an attitude the size of the one you exhibited earlier and you will get cut down to size, too many people here know and like Ixion had I not said something I'm sure another would have.

He has a right to say what he wants just as you do

to me you sound like a policeman who swallows the party line (maybe lack of intellect) and then gets aggressive with anyone who has a different opinion.

I dont agree with Ixion on everything but he has done a lot of work in finding out information and is probably better in formed than most

make your point on the issue not the man

It's part and parcel of the deal when you join the blue Mafia. It's their way or you get banged up. (If you get caught.) Don't, whatever you do, stick up for yourself or quote your rights to a copper, they get very angy, very quickly. What bullying traits they aren't born with can soon be drummed into them during training or shortly thereafter.

Ah, just dealing with the public on a daily basis will do all the above to anybody...

Even cops who start off as meek, mild and wanting to help everybody soon change after their dose of the public.

Of course I was nasty, suspicious and cynical right from the get-go, I by-passed all that "I'm Mr Nice and I'm here to help you" crap
