Other bikers you want to "knock" sense into

[scracha]

If they were my kids, What they were wearing would still would be none of your business.

So if I saw a bloke with a kid on his pillion seat wearing jandals and riding stupidly would that also be none of my business?

You don't have any power over others just because you happen to own a bike and an opinion.

I can just imagine someone like you bringing more wankers into the world.

All the gear all the time
I always wear my 1piece even if just going down the road
work is 2mins from my house but I still wear cordura fully armoured pants and jacket (gloves too)
ive had 11 accidents... walked from 10 of them..
the 11th I didnt have a scratch on me cept a thigh bone poking out my leg

This sort of post shows the sort of attitude that gives bikers a bad name. If you don't like his opinon that is fine but there is no need to resort to this sort of insult, it does not take the discussion forward at all.

I can just imagine someone like you bringing more wankers into the world.

Good, And they won't stand for being oppressed by people such as yourself.

You seem to think your beliefs should be laid on everyone else, who died and left it up to you to be the yard stick?. Would you be happy for someone to lay there beliefs on you and stop you riding a bike completely? Its a dangerous activity isn't it?...Jacket or no jacket.

Or is it because you ride a bike you believe you suddenly have the right to instruct others?

No matter which way you cut it, Its a pathetic joke.

If I do my job right, When grown my sons will be able to see people such as yourself for what they are.

Burn them?

Do you want a stupid answer to your stupid question?

Perhaps you just need reminding that the scenario put forward concerns a (presumably) licensed rider wearing what he is legally required to. Not an adult putting a child in danger.

Other then that, What you decide to do in the case you outlined is purely up to you, I know what I would do.

[SlowHand]

personally i think the driving age should be raised to at least 18....

a 15 year old can go out and buy a zxr250 or nsr 250.

they are not developed enough mentally to understand the danger they are in.

if i had got a zxr250 at 15 i would not have lived to 16.

I thought your age odometer was stuck on 15?
Ask your local friend for the patented Fonsi Tap on the head. That should get it working again.

We tried the 'clip upside the head'. Didn't work

[boomer]

So their clowning around on the road and not paying attention and nearly taking him out and treating it all as a bit of a laugh isn't his problem...???

Fuck off.

These wouldn't be your kids by any chance?

Delinquency is probably hereditary after all.

no.. EVERYONE should come onto a website and moan and whine like little girls... instead of a) having a chat with 'em. b) phoning the rozzas... c) other

no.. instead of that you thought you'd come on this site an moan, cry and look for.. what? Sympathy? attention? a change in social beliefs, A conservative government...??!! what exactly was your point?

Burn them?

i would .. yes. Before any other shenanigans happen

Do you want a stupid answer to your stupid question?

No thanks; but i'd like a million dollars and i'd also like to go on a website i've frequented for a while now, without having to put up with tards like the guys who started this thread or YOU who added fuel!

[bandit_girl]

dont know if this is the right place to post (mods put it where ever....)

.....start of rant....

yesterday minding my own business on my way home from work heading along henderson valley road and up comes a young boy, looked all of 16 not to my surprise on a GN250 with L plate on (good boy) but only in shorts and tshirt (you tard) he was acting up on his bike, i was trying to ignore him at the start, but as we start heading up Lincoln road he was now in the left lane, now joined by his mate on a scooter in shorts tshirt and jandles, (death wish for sure) they were joking round acting the goat like all young boys, they didnt notice the bus stopping/slowing down in front of them.... i had slowed seeing what was going to happen, bloody lucky i did as they saw the bus and swerved into my lane right in front of me FUCKING CLOWNS could have got all 3 of us hurt... mind you i at least would be walking and have all my skin.
pulled up to the lights and heard them laughing about what had just happened... really wanted to get off my bike and bang their heads together.

who would let their kid out on a bike with no gear? just a lid....
but then comes the question who is responsible? the person getting onto the bike or the parent? (remembering the kid is all of about 16)
damn if i had a kid on a bike i wouldnt let them out without gear on esp at that age where kids think they are bullet proof...

hope this guy wakes up before darwin gets him.

i dont care that im hot in my gear id rather spend that half hour ride home, hot knowing that if i come off at least im safer...

..rant over....

who else has come across this?

On my travels i've come across a few not wearing protective gear whilst riding their bikes and unfortunately some just don't see the raw facts no gear + accident = severe injuries or at worst death.

[boomer]

ENOUGH alreaday!!


i OFTEN ride to work or round town or round the block with NO protective gear other than a lid.
I split
i filter
i wheelie
i try and stoppie
i break traction
i even under take although upto now its been a mini and Logan.
I've had bald tyres
I've been above and beyond the speed limit
i've not seen or heard the sirens sometimes




SUE ME...!!!


in fact call me to discuss if you like... PM me for my number.

i bet you NOT one of the pc brigade has teh balls...

[motorbyclist]

Minimum requirement should be Helmet, gloves,boots, and riding jacket.
Similar to the ruling "wear your seat belt"
" wear your riding gear"
Both in the end have a similar effect.
Sure it gets hot in riding gear, but road burns hurt far more than sweat!

now while i also disapprove of people riding with only a lid on, and would never ride with an open face helmet, it is ultimately their choice. the last thing we need is more bloody government interference, laws and restrictions. if they required jackets gloves and boots you just get the same "skin crayons" being idiots but now they're wearing el-cheapo plastic clothes that won't actually protect them in an accident, but now they feel even safer than they really aren't. next you'd be asking for a WOF for one's gear.

rather than banning stuff, they could subsidise gear, or maybe seperate accident and injury statistics between those with gear and without gear.

i always ride with full face helmet, jacket and gloves, but only bring out the pants/boots if it's practical or it's wet or a long ride. i've got spare clothes at work so that's fine for full gear, but if i'm going to uni for more than an hour or maybe just to something social where big pants and bike boots are less than ideal, i'll go like an idiot with jeans and sneakers, take the risk and face the consequences.


oh, and you seem to be missing a rather important point: some serious riding safety lessons would be a much better move

[dipshit]

You seem to think your beliefs should be laid on everyone else, who died and left it up to you to be the yard stick?.

As a typical motorcyclist you also seem incapable of acknowledging that other motorcyclists can ride like complete dicks on the road and endanger others as well as just themselves.

You completely ignored the OP's main point...

"they were joking round acting the goat like all young boys, they didnt notice the bus stopping/slowing down in front of them.... i had slowed seeing what was going to happen, bloody lucky i did as they saw the bus and swerved into my lane right in front of me FUCKING CLOWNS could have got all 3 of us hurt... mind you i at least would be walking and have all my skin. Pulled up to the lights and heard them laughing about what had just happened... really wanted to get off my bike and bang their heads together."

... and started defending them by sidestepping the main issue saying that they had the gear on that is required by law, so fuck off and leave them alone.

As I said, I can just imagine you are one of those parents that defends and makes excuses for your kids no matter what shit they do.

Race quality gear saved my life.

The uniform for bikers here in Sydney (on the street) is t-shirt, shorts, helmet - that's it. The chicks wear the shortest of shorts.
