TV1 - Close Up @ 7.00pm - Returning riders causing accidents (20 March)

**mikeey01** · 20th March 2009, 14:08

I'll watch it, even if for a laugh. Who know there may be some good in it.
If it prevents a death, then it's well worth it!

Have just been in here to have a chat with me. I fucking hate having a camera jammed in my face when talking!

I can talk shit for hours to anyone (and often do)...but add a camera to the mix and I hate it!

In that case Pete, I will certainly be watching it...

I suppose the 'issue' can not be totally talked out in 10 mins, you did tell them that Kiwibikers know everything right?

Close Up and Cambell Live are both shit and wouldn't watch anything they show... from personal experience they only show the bad side to build ratings... never the actual truth... they don't care about the truth...

YOU WANT THE TRUTH? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Well they simply asked me three questions...and they edit it as much as they like anyway...so what was said ain't always what was actually said!

That's why I'm gonna ride my whole life and avoid the 'return' to biking thing, then if I crash it's just cos I'm an idiot

I deride your truth-handling abilities, you non-truth handler you.

Anybody else watch this report? What a load of bollocks!!!

Buy a Japanese 750 as it's safer than buying a Harley... Fuck off you dick.

Oh, fuck it. It's the same old biased crap.

Did you actually get the jist of what the story was about? care to discuss it? or, was that really the only part you remember.

Methinks you got the wrong end of the stick.

Yeah - I'm cynical about the Close Up coverage - yet as a relative n00b and 'mature' returning rider I fit right in the demographic of highly at risk 'temporary NZers'...

I'm constantly mindful of the danger and do fear the reaper - looking at a 650 for first real bike, will that make me safer? I wonder.
