Police interview - look out for motorbikes.

[Bassmatt]

So a " Look out for Motorcycles" campaign in which motorcyclists are stopped and told to .... look out for motorcycles?
WTF?

[Swoop]

... how about a "targetted" campaign on SUV drivers (for example, as a class of road user) - pull over every SUV on a given stretch of road (preferably a busy, holiday road) and check the vehicle in same manner and talk to the drivers' about ...

" Why hasn't your SUV got grass or mud in the tyre tread? Perhaps you should fuck off back to your city and buy a prius!"
Just a suggestion...

Did the Popo rider in your artical explain why he wasn't wearing gloves and had his face exposed while riding his bike? Not a good look really.

[Bonez]

Hope they are aware of rules relating to pre 1980s m/cs regarding lights.

look out for bikers?
i would have thought that bikers generally,
would have more situational awareness than your average car driver.
just due to being more vunerable to gravity.
it's not racisim,but mode of transportationism (sp),is that a word?

He was doing 5kph around the car park for my camera. But fair comment - I'll nix the pic actually.

For themselves perhaps ? Could be just a misinterpreded header Pistandbroke, We all know them behind bumpers and grille aint too worried about a bump up, sure it's an inconvenience, but they do only really look out for bumpers and grille huh ? So perhaps the campain might be about looking after yourself as a motorcyclist !

more than once,i have been a passenger in a car of a non biker,
gone past a bike comming the opposite way,
then asked the driver if they saw if the bike had the headlight on or not.
the reply,
what bike.

i think that %wise,bikes are in better nick than cars.
myself excluded

They are telling us to look out for ourselves. It is a play on words. Not an overly strong one - but it is there - and ACC already had the silk screens.

If the pic is distracting from my intentions I have no issue deleting the pic and finding something that suitably illustrates - correcting poor photo journalism on my part.

[Highlander]

LOL...not sure it's gonna help me get any work done. Now I'm listening to Dire Straits and thinking of going for a ride!

I often listen to Dire Straits when out for a ride, Pink Floyd and U2 feature pretty heavily in my play list too.

I have had several close calls from other bikes some instances not looking out for bikes, others just cutting too close to me thereby not allowing me room to move. Granted, they are genrally better than cars but still room for improvement.

Good article Dave, probably asking for Red rep, but I don't believe the Police are all as bad as the majority of posts on KB try to make them look.

I have no issue with the picture Dave, it shows that the poice aren't claiming to be perfect just have a job to do.

I wish i could ride and listen to music but it distracts me and when a good song comes on the speed goes up and i don't need an incentive to do that.

Good stuff Dave , thats the sort of feedback thats needed , NOT that crap on "Close Up" the other night that Distorts the message competely for the sake of ratings . The first words out that creeps mouth was to villify the Bike riders and stir up the shit.
