Yeah right, and in the meantime the Motorcycle Accident Research & Development Team continue to extract money on our behalf while we sit back and mutely tolerate their perfomance.

To what "Motorcycle Accident Research & Development Team" do you refer? Google finds nothing when this phrase is used.

Makes sense. That'll teach me to try and use my brain when I've been woken up at 1am for work.

I take in the "them" in "their perforance" is the poor performing motorcyclists you referred to earlier?

If you're preaching to any group there will always be some that are so pig-headed and set in their ways that no amount of preaching will get through.

To save motorcycling from TPTB we must convince them (TPTB) that this minority will find some other way to be reckless if they can't ride. We must get the message through that the tool of their distruction, the motorcycle, is not the problem. Afterall, a gun is not dangerous unless someone has their finger on the trigger.

I agree entirely.

A single voice will never get through to them.

A collective voice though might have greater powers.

Shut your lil bike shop, and become a preacher.
Fuck your boring.

Even with a collective voice there will always be some (although probably a smaller number) you can't reach.

Fair enough - let's reach the ones we can then.
