Why the WRB campaign is going nowhere.

[Deano]

na, this is weird shit... your threory could go for every person on this planet.

That's right D.

"Why Katman's Campaign is going Nowhere"

Katman would do better in reaching his target audience and have a more credible argument if he stopped generalising and making sweeping assumptions.

Hell, I would even agree in part with him.

Ok, I'll amend my statement.

Every motorcyclist has the potential to be their own worst enemy.

I'm sure you can agree with that.

[Katman]

And regarding my propensity for generalisations it follows that I include myself in those same statements.

(A fact that may shock Mom - because she thinks I'm perfect).

That is beter, the way it read before seemed like you have very little self esteem in your riding skills and every other rider in NZ, I for one are my 'best allie' on the road, for if I am not I am history.

But yes I understand were you are comming from, however no petitioning the WRB's would mean nothing is done about then if nothing else at least those involved can have the kudos to know thay had the guts to try.

[Katman]

I for one are my 'best allie' on the road, for if I am not I am history.

And it's our choice between 'best ally' or 'worst enemy' that determines our longevity on the road.

Bloody right you are there, but when not on the road you can also be a allie (y) by making the roads safer... hell its worth a try.

It's called leading by example.
*Some* people just like to talk, but fail miserably when it comes to 'walk'.
Others do it the other way round.
Come on people...its a package deal, and one without the other is selling yourself and others short.

Edit: And there's far too many motorcyclists that thrive on that very viewing.

Exactly right.

There are to many sad bastids out there living out their adolescent dreams of being a badass rebel or making up for the fact that they've got a small willy.

The huge number of people riding around on 1000cc + bikes is testament to that. IF people had any personal integrity they'd acknowledge the fact that they couldn't master a 400cc 4 let alone something that would be winning GPs/Superbike/TT races 15 years ago in stock form. I was hesitant about buying the Zed, but finding something comfortable and versatile in the 4-600cc market a couple of years ago was pretty flipping difficult.

Uh-Huh...I've heard that before...

Thats crap... and its so bloody 80's, I dont believe that is the general opion of bikers at all.

Why is it crap?
Ask any Ambulance Crew, Cop or Emergency Doctor or Nurse.

The underlying problem is that Motorcycle Licenses are too easy to get, and that the minimum age is waaay too low. There is also a problem at the other end of the ledger with idiots re-entering the community ("The last bike I had a CB125 at University 30 years ago, but I'll be sweet on my new HD/BMW/Yamasusaki 1900...")

[FJRider]

Katman's signature explains it quite well. If you read it. and STILL don't understand... let him know, and he'll draw you a picture.

Ask the ambo crew what?... do they not attend car wrecks, truck accos etc?
Bike licences are NOT easy to get in fact bloody hard considering 30yrs ago they gave me mine... what is wrong is the bikes that are able to be riden by greenies, and also i hold bike dealers as bad advertising to eg: an Aprilla 125 that was advertised as a learners bike cant remember the price but it wasnt cheap and the shop would tic it to the max.

Some pretty sweeping statements there. Hell Katman would be proud.

You only need to read KB to realise lot of born agains usually have a transitional ride before getting something newer.
You see most folks have more common sence than you seem to give them credit for.

As for motorcycle licences being easier to get. Have you read the grumblings on KB about how long folk have to wait to get their full m/c licence?

And regarding my signature.........

It is a direct quote taken from a post by dipshit (don't remember where he got it from and I didn't have the room at the time to include credit to the originator) that I felt stated by belief of motorcycling perfectly and consicely.
