See you at Manfeild on Monday, Bill?

[buellbabe]

You still haven't figured me out at all, have you?

I'm not primarily crusading to ensure the survival of individuals, I'm crusading to protect the future of motorcycling in New Zealand (and in doing so, protecting many of the very liberties you seem so happy to espouse).

Well I get what you are saying and you are totally on the money. People need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Its a fact that there is an agenda to get motorcycles off NZ roads. And I heard that from a cop...who just happened to be riding with me on the way to welly to protest at the acc hikes.

WE are the only ones who can change things, like someone else already posted ...ride to live...live to ride...

It ain't rocket science.

The trouble with Katman is that, although his message is on the money (most of the time), his delivery leaves a lot to be desired. He expects EVERY biker to listen to him like he's god himself.

The trouble with bikers is that a lot of us are rebels by nature. This means that it's totally unrealistic to expect every one of us to listen to the hard truths of life. Especially when the message is being rammed down your throat. Remember, you catch more flies with honey...

Gimme a break. That argument's growing mould.

It's got nothing to do with the delivery - it's simply that the message itself galls many motorcyclists.

And even more galling to those same motorcyclists is not just the fact that they are reading the message (I'm certainly not the first to be advocating a dose of 'wake the fuck up to ourselves') but rather, the fact that I'm still here giving the same message unlike the others in the past who have either been successfully bullied into silence or simply given up trying.

Is that you Simon Barnett, the kiddies game show host?????

Gimme a break. That argument's growing mould.

The reason that I think you are expecting EVERY biker to listen to you is that you've stated that it is within our power as motorcyclists to save motorcycling from the politicians simply by uping our game and it will take EVERY motorcyclist riding in the manner which you prescribe* to achieve that.

It's got nothing to do with the delivery - it's simply that the message itself galls many motorcyclists.

I agree that the message does gall some (the truth will often hurts). But simply telling someone they're a dickhead repeatedly will more often than not result in the dickhead just being more set in their ways.

And even more galling to those same motorcyclists is not just the fact that they are reading the message (I'm certainly not the first to be advocating a dose of 'wake the fuck up to ourselves') but rather, the fact that I'm still here giving the same message unlike the others in the past who have either been successfully bullied into silence or simply given up trying.

I applaud the fact that you're still trying. I really do. However, banging your head against a brick wall repeatedly trying to break through only results in a bloody head.


*Which I agree with by the way.

[swbarnett]

Is that you Simon Barnett, the kiddies game show host?????

Nah, not me.

No great loss - I've always looked this ugly.

It's got nothing to do with the delivery -

May I respectfully disagree? It is definitely the delivery, and on at least two occasions that come to mind, the timing thereof.

The basic message may be sound but there are a significant number of people on KB who on seeing "Katman" just switch off. Or send abuse. None of which is presumably achieving what you are after?

[Katman]

May I respectfully disagree?

You can if you like - as long as you don't mind me respectfully disagreeing with you.

The most effective timing for any message is when it has the most impact.

Many on here just use the timing excuse because they'd rather the whole thing just quietly die down till it can effectively be swept under the carpet.
