Chair of Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council

[Zedder]

Just had another thought - maybe it's just to make sure that lots of non-motorcycle people can make lots of money arguing over the "customary rights" of idigenous people to make use of non indigenous technology and thereby having a financial interest in the provision of "safe" facilities for the use of said technology.

C'mon now, where on earth would you possibly get that idea from...?

[Paul in NZ]

I've been thinking about this... I reckon I'd be shit hot at this job and have some seriously cool ideas about reducing the road toll.

First off - ban all bikes with overhead camshafts. If you have double OHC you are double banned. OHC is the work of the devil unless its in an Manx Norton, AJS 7R / G50 or an old Square four... Everything else - cams below the pistons please.

Second - ban all bikes faster than mine.... You are all mad bastards anyway and no one listens to madmen...

Third - when I want a ride - every other prick has to get off the bloody road. That should at least make me safer and if you lot aint traveling you will be safer too...

Now thats 3 bloody good reasons why I should be appointed, now wheres my $850 please...

I first wrote "over represented", but decided that was making an assumption for which I had no information. So in a typical about face I reversed it to say something that again I had absolutely no information on.

However, you are correct about it being a standard phrase, if only to stop the type of assumptions I've just highlighted.

Given that most of the bros ride Harleys ... (and are crap at it too) ... then there is a good chance they are over-repped in the stats ...

[Banditbandit]

how can you be sure? A lot of those put down as single bike crashes could in fact be Taniwha caused. Perhaps the real solution is not educating the riders on their road craft but rather on protocol and making the appropriate offerings befoe starting the bike.

I always talk to my bike before I start it - just to make sure it is happy ...

Nah, don't worry, koha will fix the Taniwha issues. It always does...

Naa ... taniwha's don't accept utu . Maybe muru ... Maybe a virgin sacrifice (I'll help by checking they're virgins )

I see that you use Italian technology ... by what right do you do that ??? (Oh yeah ... stop eating our indigenous food with your roasts)

And we have NO intererst in the "safe" use of non-indigenous technology the more you whities kill yourself off the better for us .. the quicker we get our country back (we're already breeding you out of existence ... getting you all killed on the roads just makes it faster ...)

Same place you might get the idea that one of the Iwi might claim "rights" to the speed at which said M/c was travelling

just caught the previous post - I don't really like spaghetti, anyway. but at least spag bog might have something other than pakeha (oops, sorry, horse) in it!

I wrote koha not utu. Two completely different things.

"...our country back?" Even David Rankin, the Ngapuhi leader, doubts it was "your" country and "...breeding you out of existence?" How many full blooded Maori are around now?

Sounds like this is one of your "I'm only playing on the internet and having fun" posts.

Don't forget the air the bike is passing through. Cha-ching!

[Berries]

Now I cannot be sure that Maori ARE under represented in motorcycle accidents because it is not PC to keep such records.

Oh but they do.

[Mom]

I would, but I'm washing my hair that day.

Hair? I might have to shave my legs to avoid the opportunity.

Hmmm. I wonder what it pays.

Probably far too much of our "ring fenced" levy contribution.

..."excellent communicator"...

Fuck yeah, that's me.

You have a lot to learn about diplomacy young padwan. Blunt and repetitive is perhaps not what they need.

However, If I applied I very much doubt that I would be accepted as I'm not sufficiently politically correct. But enough applications from experience motorcyclists who are also active KB members and maybe we could start to have an influence.

Politically correct is one thing, influence? One would hope so.

Do IT!

I reckon I screwed my pooch on this matter a little while ago

"Speak softly and carry a large stick" is so last century.

I think it'd be excellent to see someone (responsible) from here do it, would feel way more confident in the whole thing that way.


At least, until they did something I didn't agree with....

Never mind overhead cams, they went wrong with overhead valves.

Where is Stoney anyway?

• Treaty of Waitangi awareness.

WTF?? Just what do motorcycles, roads and coin got to do with an old bit of paper?

Ah - excellent, a supporter who can form the radical right wing of my movement...
