We had a cop car leading and still managed to make it a quicker ride than possible for the same roads on a normal day.

That is not uncommon on that sort of ride. We usually do the big ride in Auckland that is well policed all the way. I have had the strange experience of being waved on and encouraged to go faster when doing 100k in a 50 by a member of the police.

You have to realise this is the sole reason they pull stunts like this - to get noticed. They have a big crowd of fellow riders to notice them, and their impressive stunting and marvel at how big their willies are.
Think of all the acclamation!

The approbation!

The masturbation....

Obviously a pissed off car driver with nothing better to do.

Very dissappointing to think that anyone would undermine such a positive initiative by doing stupid stuff on a ride.

I saw a small article in my local paper this morning that stated transit NZ would fund a reseach project into the safety of cheescutters in relation to motocyclists, said they take our safety seriously. I can post that to you if you like?

i have a dom to post to you with the chron... stating there are calls for the wire to be extended to mckays crossing after a TRANSIT van collided with another vehicle. funny there was no mention of cause of incident, just that a wire would have prevented it.

These things are being installed every where. I was talking to a man last night who gave me a big heads up to another extension of these things close to my home. I am investigating this as there appears to be no good reason to install WRB, the road is wide enough to put concrete barriers in place. Interesetingly enough, this road is being WIDENED from what it is now, and there are NO barriers on it at the moment.
