How pertinent. I just stepped outside to take in the invigorating sea airs and lo! A pale blue scooter just zoomed past, two people on board, a him & and a her, T's, jandals, shorts, beanies (no hemlets) and sunnies. Thing is, they did not have the headlight on.
Did I step through a hole in the space time continuum & come out in Venice?

...maybe they got some amazing advice from some of the "senior" KB members on here and there mates.
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...he-time/page10 (READ IT!!..ALL)
becasue apparently:
a state of mind is all that is required ("If you don't fall off, the gear is irrelevant!"-Jrandom...endorsed by Maha)
...and "only nOObs wear ATGATT"
Oh then this fucking pearl:
"there's nothing quite like riding in shorts and T-shirt on a hot sunny day. Protective gear is like wearing a condom - it makes the ride more boring, and isn't necessary if you're smart enough and self-controlled enough to manage the risks in other ways"
and besides..."if you're so worried about your safety, what the fuck are you doing on a motorbike? Get a Camry!"
So there ya have it nOObs!!
All this amazing advice was being read by a learner rider!..who turned out to have more sense than a self proclaimed "expert"/"Hero"! ,who...after a WHOLE 10yrs riding thinks they have reached some sort amazing level of expert ridng, mental control and skill sets that can effect other road users and THERE abilities to drive and not to hit you!.
..the above thread was the last straw for me in regards to the steady decline of KB "advice" over the years, hence I have deleted everything from my account, and Im now just a "visitor" to this site after years of membership....Put simply...I am no longer a proud member of KB!
...the problem isnt just "out there"....its in here!! (And I believe it is the senior members/riders duty to act accordingly when such shit is posted....and not turn it into a joke every time...ay Drew!)
Im sorry If Ive knocked anyone off there self built Pedestal...but it had to be said
Ride safe KBers
...infact, no!..do what ya want!, cos safety is just a joke on here apparently

I am an advocate of riders LEARNING TO FUCKING RIDE! I'm sick of the sanctimonious pricks thinking that because they wear all the gear all the time, they have the moral high ground.
You do NOT. The biggest thing hurting riders, is THEMSELVES.
Do you fucking get it? Can you fathom that the gear will not save you when a fucking truck runs you over? Fuck, it wont even promise an open casket at your funeral, that three hundred bikers will show up to, even though only four of them knew you.
That serious enough for you cunt? Ya get that I make light of it all, because preaching on here to noobs, is going to achieve nothing at fucking all?
Fuck all people listen, and those that do have sense enough to spot the bulshit anyway.
To sum up, eat my shit and die fucker. Place is better without the likes of you anyway.

Looks like my grumble about a pet peev is going to be turned into a big slagging match .. sorry about that!
I just wanted to voice my opinion that I don't think it's a great idea to not wear decent gear when on a motorbike, cause it's not a case of "if" you fall off, but of "when" you fall off :-(
An extra layer just means the road has to grind it's way through that before it gets to your skin ... seems a no brainer concept to me!

Funny thing, that's as much thought as goes into how to actually ride by most kiwi bikers.
You posted it on here, because you wanted to have a circle of people bitching the same shit as thousands before, without having to give it thought.
"I've said something popular, come give me a reach around while I do up me back protector". Pussies!

Their advice has certainly swung a bit far in the other direction. But somebody has to stand up and say that riding style is far more important than what gear you are riding.

Its like one of my favourite sayings:
"A shark on whiskey is mighty risky, but a shark on beer is a beer engineer"
which roughly translates to, you are the best person to engineer out the risk; not the vehicle, not your gear, your own riding skills is the most important thing keeping you safe.

fuck if that's the attitude of ATGATT'rs I'll hang out with the scantily clad bikers thanks.

Another funny thing. It was once that got said in the other thread, that led to the statement. "If you think you cannot escape crashing, go by a camry"!
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Not true. There are a few of us around here to attest to the fallacy of that statement.
ACC will cover the costs of those who choose to meet the minimum requirements under our laws (helmet only). If and when they decide that there are "levels" of acc coverage (like the cc ratings of bikes) that could apply to protective clothing worn, then there is a reason to comment.
Having returned from Thailand where helmets are compulsory but not enforced, and scooters rule the roads, the necessary evils of protective clothing are commensurate to the environment.
So long as a rider has a helmet to comply with the law, and should be wearing a hi-viz vest, then they are perfectly safe... We ALL know that hi-vis makes you perfectly safe!

Wow! Until now I did not even realise there were different classes of riders! I thought person on "bike == biker"
