There is far more to be gained by encouraging motorcyclists to open their eyes and switch on their brains than worrying about what they're wearing.

I seem to remember that RC in the past has handed out rider training for stuff, instead of tickets. He would be in a very small minority of coppers.
The two I met yesterday were pleasant, I wish more were like them

I guess its the fcuk you attitude of the general attitude at large where I live (akl) that makes them like that

maybe advice to get some track riding to placate the need for speed (Rossi types)

There is a large group of riders who ride way passed the legal speed, are you suggesting that RC and SD concentrate on MORE speed cameras, and tickets especially targetting riders.

Agree about opening eyes and switch on brains, but how should we be doing that?

Most riders dont come on KB who would fall into either of these categories.

I thankfully have a Yamaha Scorpio, I can act out my Rossi aspirations all well below the speed limit, with my brain fully in the zone eyes wide open.

Katman I think you have lecture confused with advice. I doubt I would lecture you (I dont know shit), but if I saw something that might help you with anything, be assured I would try to help.
That was the way I was brought up, helping others.

no I am not a goody 2shoes, just someone who when sees wrong-trys to help.
Quite often I get sand kicked in my teeth - used to that.

I usually turn off if someone lectures me and I am not prepared for info. But I still listen, never know when I might get a gem of wisdom - often out of the mouths of bystanders.

There is a freedom of speech in this country ... him being (at the time) a cop ... makes no difference.

I think it is just education in general

Like what with radial burnouts etc

lecture or advice - i still support it.

and I support you call about 'turn on brain and open eyes' while on the road.

both are good ideals.

Lectures are a thing of tertiary education, hence me suggesting it was a broader issues for him.

And your sig is still wrong/shit.

I did not infer otherwise. Though I shall infer you didn't receive much in the way of lectures or tertiary education in such fields either...

Ignoring generally precludes responding, but I guess that is just more weight for the above inference.
