White Trash Pearls of Wisdom #2654 - Refering to yourself in the 3rd person: The only thing gayer, would be being caught handcuffed around a public toilet bowl, an apple stuffed in your mouth and George Michael administering an epic caneing to your exposed cheeks while Boy George documents the event on a handicam.
Thank you, that's all that I, and I think the MAG-NZ press statement were trying to say.
You stated it very clearly, and without emotional distractions.
It would be great if we could get that message through to Officers speaking to the media, and it would be awesome if the core of Katman's message would be taken up by bikers.
The question is how?
This is something that I hope MAG-NZ and the MSL can address.
Keep on chooglin'
they pulled it from the website last night mate.
I'd like to think they did it because they realised that they had gone over the top with their piss poor slanted sensationalism. Using the unfortunate death of someone to push a political viewpoint
But a more likely answer is they broke the rubber band in their propaganda machine.![]()
I wouldn't speculate as to what MSL will or won't do, but I do know reference to Hi Viz has come up in the past in my dealings with certain factions, and I've questioned the effectiveness when the topic came up.
Whether Hi-Viz would be made a mandatory requirement, personally - I really have strong doubts, and to suggest so based on media comments would be scaremongering - I would think more 'promoting the use of'.
If Hi Viz was to become mandatory there was wide open opportunity to do so in consultations in 09 and last year.
But, no doubt there'd be those who're pushing for it to happen.
EDIT: Condolances to friends and family at this terrible time.

So I'm looking at importing one of these:
Much better idea because you don't have one of those stupid vests flapping about catching on things and making you even hotter in warm weather.
Knowing how the NZ Government writes legislation, I'll bet that I still have to wear a vest over it, even though this jacket meets US Military base specs for hi-vis clothing, designed deliberately to get around restrictions on motorcyclists riding onto bases or camps.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
[QUOTE=Paul in NZ;1129977901] Guys - you have to be careful reacting to media comments. It all gets cut up and chopped into controversial sound bites, who knows what ELSE the cop said because he doesnt get to decide what goes to air...
You are right but in this case most of the reactions, including mine are to stupid comments made by the likes of Katman.
The only stupidity in here that I can see is people suggesting that there are absolutely no clues to be had when a vehicle is about to perform a u-turn.
Indicator, wheel turn, eyes in mirror staring behind (not ahead).... vehicle brake lights off hence vehicle about to move, (trucks are loud). ... anything else. Is that defensive riding.
PS I watch out for trucks a hell of a lot I HATE THEM !!!! Especially when the wheels feel bigger than me.
Ok I am over this thread... the abuse, and the fact it is soooo bloody obvious what it is all about... and what it is not about.
RIP
