Maybe another thought.....there are quite a few advantages to be had in most countries running a non profit organisation.....
Tax excemptions, limited liability, donations are tax deductable etc, just to name a few....

Just a thought.....

Cast your mind back to any of the other threads that have mentioned the name Allan Kirk.

Or do you have the memory of a goldfish?

Classic twatman.
To try and mitigate your stupidity, you post something even more stupid.

Keep floundering twatman.

I'll assume that green you just left me was supposed to be a red.

"Classic stupidity" indeed.

The green was showing my appreciation of your sense of humour.
You are joking around here aye?

Please tell me you aren't really as dumb as you make out.

OMG - you are!

I just had a terrible thought.
Please tell me you haven't reproduced yet katman.

The only thing I bagged was the approach, surely someone claiming to represent the safety interests of NZ motorcyclists would be well known and in touch with those they stand to represent.

Thanks for the commercials guys and now back to the program.

Yes that's Allan Kirk. I have brought one of his books (on cornering) and read it cover to cover. It left me a little unsatisfied, covered many of the points but in the end I felt it could have been done better. Having said that, if it were free (I paid for mine), it would be a good 'additional' read.

It read like a plagerised mish mass of statements and I got the feeling it was a skim report of thoughts rather than a real understanding. Bits that would have been helpful with pictures didn't have them and then there were pictures that didn't add anything. Tough to satisfy everyone I know and as i said good additional reading.

Yep, that was the feeling I got from the website too. It all feels a bit like an elite group of 'safe' riders that you need to buy in to.

The information seems to be of good value, it's just they way he/they have gone about 'presenting' it.

FWIW i could poo out a website better than that in under an hour - free of charge.

Does anyone else get the impression that Katman is Allan Kirk's secret alter ego? It would make sense.

I’m with Blackbird here. Many moons ago I did some training with what was NZMCA when Alan was here in welly. The training was well ahead of it’s time & still would make good sense today.

This is a man who had really thought about things & came up with some decent course material, some of which I know has been plagiarised & used to this day (this was mid-late 80s).

However with that was an ego or personality that tended to inflame many people. I saw it often back then. What he is doing now material-wise I’m not really up with, maybe it has degraded or old age has set in.

I’m sure he is mega safe on a bike, - doubt he has ridden much for years.

But - I’m very thankful of those old courses & what I learnt from my involvement.
Like many things, take what you can from the info. For every ‘expert’ there will be many who claim their brand of safety is the best & others are wrong or dangerous.

Educate & decide for yourself.

Funny I was thinking about Allan last week, he used to proclaim himself as a handwriting profiling expert (something in the news clicked in a memory) + was trying to make a crust as a writer so the grammar issues are funny.

Sorry Katman, that alter-ego quip made me laugh. You’re ok by me, but I do see some similarity in your ability to inflame people.

One of the articles Alan gave me years ago was a piece (from a mag) on personal responsibility. Did change the way I thought.
