Media headlines and story making

[mada]

Of course not. Motor cyclists (read bikies) are a bunch of greasy rapist criminals...

Yeh thats what I mean mate, if we acted over the countless near misses, poor inattentive and dangerous driving which we see on a daily basis - there would be media hype about gang members intimidating the public and public outcry.

Grabbing keys of drunks leaving pub.....?

How about Bikers take keys off other bikers who cant ride????

Really we've reaped what we've sowed with the *555 thing, tricking ordinary people into thinking they are qualified to judge other peoples driving.... Its time that shit stopped too...
We're going to have to rebuild the rail network so all the bad drivers can be shipped off to training camps.
Such a special project could be called Night of broken taillight glass..... wonder what that translates to in German....

Just wait till Tourists realise they can dob in our bad driving....

That would keep that thick cunt Cassina busy for sure!

Imagine how much this would grab headlines, media attention, and cause a bit of a shake up.

"Angry Bikers in Christchurch, Auckland, and Wellington take keys off shit Kiwi Drivers".

Bet the story would be a lot different to the present "Hero" stories.

Erm, didn't bike riders start the latest trend off?

Was listening to a police representative on the subject of driving skills a couple of days ago and the stat he trotted out was that in the same period that tourist drivers had caused 7 accidents, Kiwi drivers had caused 200+.

But of course during that time not one single biker rode like a douchebag did they?
Sorry mon the double standard just gets my goat.
TO BE CLEAR yep cagers drive like idiots. But equally bikers take silly risks.
The difference being the biker takes the risk knowing if it turns pear shaped likely they aint walking home.

Yup! The whole topic of bikers crying about car drivers doing silly stuff makes me chuckle. As a rider and trucker, the shit I see daily makes me think enthusiastic riders are just as much a problem as dim-witted drivers. Always find it amusing when bikers find it challenging to keep a little two wheeler on their side of the centreline, hell if I can keep 23 metres of truck and trailer on my side...

But yeah, for some donning a helmet turns them into Superman don't it?
