Nothing, none of my my posts were about what is safe, just why people get pulled up.

Confirms yet again why you are part of the founding members of MAG-NZ. Well said that man.

Okay, you bunch of pussies.

I'll organise a couple of Forgotten Highway GPs this summer for the Auckland crew instead.

Jeez.

Although you have a point, that person/member has chosen to be apart of a national organisation and has made a statement which sadly??? will reflect on said organisation. I have and now do work in the motorcycle industry therefore at times I must watch what I say on this site too.

In saying that....good fucking luck to the Policeman that wants to take my picture for 'no reason'! If I have done wrong...so be it. If I'm being a good boy...neh

I was the ONLY one stopped, and I was rightly pissed off. I was doing nothing but going about my lawful business.
My protest...I went through every pocket on my person and my pack, before prducing my licence. I knew where it was all the time, I just wanted to waste his time, as he had wasted mine.
Totally unfair, and nothing to do with safety!

therein lies a germ of an idea

How much interference with law abiding citizens do we allow the police? If it's really about saving lives and reasonable suspicion, then why don't they just stop everyone coming out of my local pub's carpark every afternoon and evening?

you're right, it will to some degree with some people, but to say every members views reflect the organisations is absurd, in fact diversity of viewpoints within an organisation is essential, granted the diversity shouldn't be advertised everywhere.
Others (and I hope the majority) will take it as a single individuals viewpoint which doesn't reflect the organisation's viewpoint.

Substitute 'politicians' for 'we' and you're onto it...

And how much interference have you had??

I don't disagree with your statement above, in fact I have been a bit of a shit around the Coro too. The ONLY issue I have is someone demanding to take my photo IF I have done nothing wrong.
