That is so bloddy funny. and good to.

[ital916]

Lol that is funny, but please nobody go and try cut a wrb unless you want to come across the dangerous phenomenon of a snapping high tensile steel wire.

Seen what a farmer's barbed wire fence can do to a motorcyclist? What do you plan to do about them?

And trees too.... What are we gonna do about the trees? Why not slow down and ride/drive more safely? No that would mean we'd have to be responsible for our own actions eh? That'll never work!

Nether of thoses have been put there for our "Safety" like the WRB's There are WBR's put on the side of roads where they are more of a risk to bikers and other road users than what they are supposed to protect us from. They have been put there using tax payers money for our "safety". Sooo wrong.

Using the masses of wisdom you two have, why the f**k do we need barriers for at all then???? Let's get rid of 'em all and drive safely.....

Not really, it'll spring away from where ya cut it.....just stand directly behind the saw and yer safe as houses
Note: this is not a recommendation to cut them down though...

Posters are lame.
Get a giant piece of cheese and stick that on the cheesecutter. That'll get attention.

Bad barriers? where? mmmm never come across one.
All the barriers I've seen are not on the road and that's where I ride. Where do you ride??

[avgas]

Or you could not crash into them? Just a thought.
As dangerous as they sound, its a cost thing. And when its a cost thing - it means fuck all is going to get done.
So unless you want you bike rego to go over the grand mark to cover the costs, f-all is going to happen.

in wellington, they have em on the center line. i havent seen em placed like that down south, only on the left protecting lakes and such.

and avgas... its already been shown that concrete is cheaper over a 10 year period, so its not a cost thing at all.

Beware the little man with the clipboard...he will use statistics to show that replacing every lane marking line with a CC will save even more lives.

There is a lot to be admired in the French.
Bloody anglos are content to sit in their shops (a nation of shopkeepers - Napoleon) and sip tea and have a good winge.

So are decent roads, cement foundation roads, improved rail, LED traffic signalling, iridium spark plugs, non-hybrids, writing down stuff instead of usually electronic media and red wine with Chocolate.
But i am keeping my mouth shut - as the only people who are complaining about barriers are the motorcyclist.
In the eyes of the gubbermint, spend more money on bike safe barriers or ban bikes!!!
While i agree that concrete is a good alternative, it also adds an extra 40% onto project costs. People bitch enough as it is about the cost of things.
Ironically the funny thing is i haven't heard of a case of a cheese cutter fence crashing into a bike yet? So using that theory i'm not going to crash into 1.
Riding is life or death. Removing 1 object off the road will not change this.
I personally do not understand the vendetta against cheese-cutters, when there are still going to be other drivers/riders, rocks, farm fences, power poles, animals, pot holes, acts of god, nails....... still on the road. Its not like the chees-cutters run across the road to attack you or anything.
