Piss off mate. That's my job.

Bitching or press release?

[StoneY]

You've made shooting your mouth off your own.

Why should this instance be any different?

Sad little man...no one listens to you anymore Katman
Show some fuckin balls dude


No one shot anything off. Except your load mr Wide Open Throttles
Any time you wish to discuss these issues face to face I am happy to oblige

You're an angry wee man, aren't you Brent?

Cheers for the subtle plug btw.

If you two were my kids you'd both get told to take it outside as it's getting way past boring.

1. People from a variety of walks of life, who happen to ride motorcycles, came together and achieved a reprieve
2. Our actions benefited those who share our passion but were not able to get there or couldn't be arsed taking time
3.this matter WILL be along again in due course, so plan now and make yourself available for the next goround.
4. If you don't like what we did, front up yourself instead of bitching about what a bunch of useless wankers we are - I bloody well tried, YOU did not

If the threat of disruption to the RWC had no bearing on the Council's decision then it was still a clumsy move that could still impact badly on us as a whole.

If the threat was influential in the Council's decision to back down then be prepared to reap the whirlwind when the RWC is done and dusted.

[Ratti]

I agree, So what are you going to do about it in the next goround?

[Katman]

I'm going to continue to advise against shooting one's mouth off before engaging one's brain.

[BMWST?]

wow i never knew a threat could be so successful

[Ratti]

I'm going to continue to advise against shooting one's mouth off before engaging one's brain.

Excellent advice, but on a note more focused on the next time WCC raise this zombie- what will you do?

Remind myself that I'm lucky to live in Taupo.

In that regard ... WE'RE lucky too ....

Hmmm so the quote was

"We may be mildly disruptive during an upcoming international event" and that was said "off the record".

The headlines that were written were "motorcyclists threaten to disrupt RWC.

You would have to be totally naive or competely thick to think that one statement wouldn't turn in to the other. The same would apply to the "off the record" comment. For the vast majority of journalists "off the record" means "here comes my headline". You have no business dealing with the media if you don't klnow how they work. Particularly if you proport to be speaking on behalf of motorcyclists.

For the record - I beleive you are neither naive or thick Stoney.

The other thing I would take issue with is that those motorcyclists who didn't turn up to your "meeting" after your ill advised comments in the media are "gutless" or "don't care" (I won't go in to the various other names). Not many people I know can swan off during business hours to attend a meeting. Especially if they believe the spokesman for the cause had done all motorclyclists a dis-service by threatening to disrupt the Rugby World Cup. I'm sorry mate, but like it or not that is exactly what you did.

Maybe that was more the message about non attendance. The name calling etc since hasn't made me particuarly motivated to help you in the future either. In fact maybe it will assist the cause and help turnout if you say you are not involved in the future?
