South Auckland Thursday Night Ride

Yeah, I have a real problem taking it. Open your eyes and look at the shit I get, on threads I've never participated in, it doesn't worry me.

Carry on mate, most people on here are pretty familiar with me and don't take anything personally. I'm sorry if they do. Get over it.

you really don't rate in my book

Is it really about pushing buttons? As far as I can see you copied and pasted a 'published dry weight issue' post into the Thursday night ride thread coz no one paid enough attention to it when it stood alone as it's own thread.

I'd say you went off topic and you've left a veiled threat of violence.

I for one am completely unimpressed and underwhelmed by your behaviour. Thanks for playing - you are now ignored.

Not too worry, Maurice tells me it loosens up with use. 'Course, if it loosens up too much you may have to increase your laundry budget.

then you'd be wrong. the post was placed in both areas becaue I thought others might be interested. BTW, that was an orignial by me and not 'just a cut and paste'.
The three pages or so there and posts here seem to indicate that it was of interest.

I'd say you went off topic and you've left a veiled threat of violence.

Nope, dover tried to tell me to get off the subject, a quite valid bike subject. And that's not a threat of violence. As I said, the rest here probably find this really boring. If dover wants to keep at it he is welcome to do so in person.
If he wants to post his crap at me he shouldn't get upset when I give it back.

I for one am completely unimpressed and underwhelmed by your behaviour. Thanks for playing - you are now ignored.

Good, I'm quite happy to be ignored by you. If dover wants to ignore me too then that's even better. I for one don't ignore anyone.
It seems it's you two who have the fragile egos

So why do you get so upset when someone gives to you what you give to them?

fragile ego?

did you think dry weight meant that it hadn't been ridden in the rain?

You took that as "juvenile" and a "personal attack"???

Are you feeling a bit menstrual or something?

After 5269 more posts than you I don't think you have much room to have a go at Dover. Pull your head in.

No, just a real dislike of pompous wankers.

Give me shit about being slow, being a blouse, having a small dick, question my sexuality and masculinity, whatever. I wouldn't care.

But walk in here calling all and sundry juvenile, expecting to change the world and have others conform to your ideals and agenda and you will raise my hackles.

It's as simple as that.

yawn, that's enough of that boring crap.

For some time I've been thinking about NZ roads and just how unsafe they are for us bikers.
It's not just the tin tops, trucks, tractors and the Sharks (I'm told by a police officer mate that that's what they call traffic cops: they despise em):
one of our real problems is the road surface itself.

Years ago, after all roadworks had been finished, the contractor was required to sweep up the gravel and crap they'd left behind. Now it seems they have no rule that forces them to think of the single track vehicles on the road (m'bikes and bicycles). In some countries this kind of practice can be challenged in court as criminal negligence. Here in NZ however, the councils and transit NZ protect the construction crews from prosecution.

Given that we seem helpless in court but that this remains a problem, I've thought about carrying a can of flouro paint and marking the road before the danger as "criminally negligent road works ahead" or similar. This would warn m'bikes of the danger and all other road users would see just what dangers riders we face.
With the number of hazards we face every day riding on NZ's roads, I reckon that the number of these signs would be very very high indeed and that it would be much harder for the govt and transit NZ to ignore motorcycles and bicycles.

I'm keen to give it a go, any takers?

(yes, I AM going to post this in the general forum too)

and i dislike juvenile wankers who post childish personal attacks because they don't like what others are talking about. so keep it up and expect more and more in return, you don't impress me at all
