What is the abrasion resistance of a twat's skin?

**Donor** · 27th February 2010, 09:31

Always amazed at how many scream "it's their life, leave them alone you PC bully" and other assorted and associated bleeding heart liberal comments.

But just to remind us of the democratically PC world we live in, the OP is fully entitle to their opinion as well.

So there.

Personally I think those without all the gears on are moronic cunts, but that's MY opinion...

If it's someone who knows what they are doing and has made informed choices - it's the twat's skin and it's legal.

The fact that it is legal is the problem that needs addressing.

Cos that's what we need.

More laws "for your own good"

Fark off

Actually, laws tend to be for the greater good rather than the individuals.
No matter how selfish one is, one does in fact live in and is part of a community. As part of that same community, whether you like it or not, that gives me the right to say "nah, I wont support that idjut if s/he chooses to do dumbarse shit that ends up in tears"

As you have the right to tell me to get stuffed and continue on your merry way with no regard for others.

My view of why I asked the first question is simple, and not aimed at anyone in-particular. Except the rider on Friday night.

Putting aside the ACC bit and the" oh no, not another do gooder trying to tell me what I should be doing" responses.

It was not just the fact that she was wearing no gear at all, it was not the fact that she was lane splitting ( I was ) , it was not the fact that she took her eye off the traffic to wave at me.

It was because she was was not lane splitting, she was riding like a complete ASS, weaving in and out of 80k traffic across all 4 lanes at speeds over 120k ( and yes I can tell when someone is doing over 40k faster than me ), wearing only a tee and shorts, and riding with one hand looking back waving, while still weaving.

Justify that style of riding, and I hope you did not go on the ACC rallies, because if you did, then you did not go to stand up for bikers, you only went so people could pay less for being an ass.

I hope you had fun writing that but it doesn't actually add much to the debate

Your last 4 words bear some examination though. "No regard for others".

Wearing , or not, of gear, has no impact on others (spare me the bleats about the poor emergency crews and the imminent rise in ACC - one is a job choice and the other is based on political ideology).

So I repeat - resist the urge to pass laws designed to save me from myself

fark off

Change "less" to "the same as everyone else" and thats EXACTLY why I went to the Bikeoi and other rallies

I thought you were talking about twots, not twats. (sp?)

Coefficient of friction of a twot varies widely.

Yay another clothing thread........

Can these all be grouped together like the waving threads?

I disagree entirely.

THE AIMS OF BRONZ ARE:
To promote road safety through road user education.
Education rather than legislation saves lives.
To protect and promote the rights of the motorcyclist to decide his/her own future as a road user.
Let those who ride decide.
To promote and protect the general welfare of the motorcycling public.

What's the abrasive resistance of safety nazis. None - fuck off.

That's good Big Dave.

I like it and agree.

How do I join/support BRONZ?
