Winja spotted in Papatoetoe

[MadDuck]

Holy crap batman and beam me up scotty. The person who posted the pic was having a piss take look at the jandals (No doubt Donna..aka Dawn will tell me if im wrong)

ohhhhh but us tough and oh so serious biker types turn it around and make it a huge flippin political debate. Why? What does that do?

FFS...... CHILL. Yeeah this guy may have an accident and die - thats hes choice. Nice Jandals while hes doing it. It costs me more but so does the beneficiary down the road that decides to squat another baby out for child support at my expense.

[Thumper]

I am fully aware of that. The ACC Act creates a a situation where you don't actually have the choice. My argument is correct in that like it or not, the NZ Government's Health System is going to patch you up post injury accident, and the Social Systems built for the follow up are going to manage your rehab. I think Motorcycles will be banned in the near to medium future anyway, and part of the mechanism to do that will be making it too expensive to ride, firstly by cranking the ACC levy to what it should be.

The Private Hospitals in NZ do not have Emergency Departments and aren't generally equipped to handle the often severe and complex trauma motorcyclists undergo that need several different hospital departments from burns to orthopedics. You can buy as much cover as you like Thumper. You'll be going through the Public system post motorcycle accident because that's where the ambulance will take you.

Cool, I will get some value for my ACC contribution.

I have the highest regard for the Public system but certainly would not want to place any unnecessary burden on said system. I had an unexpected ride in an ambulance a few years back to a great Public hospital and had no problems getting my insurer to pick up the bills for that little adventure.

Repost my arse.

What a Dork...no amount of heat should mean you dont wear protective gear.

Can just picture what would happen if he off`ed

I do wheelies in less gear. My arse, my recovery, MY CHOICE>

My arse, my recovery, MY CHOICE>

We gave you the civil rights bill, what more do you want??

Are you calling me gay?

If so, it's only gay if your balls touch.

[Lou Girardin]

No safety gear?
Take him out and shoot him immediately. That'll teach him the right way to ride.

Take a Chill Pill Man! Or as in his case a

Im surprised he aint wearing a matching yellow lavalava...

[vifferman]

I wrote off my first bike wearing jandals. So sue me! It was a hot (Christmas!) day, and I was only going a few miles. I woulda been OK if I hadn't got bored and started practicing wheelies. And if that car had given way to the right...
But I still have all my toes - they weren't too badly damaged at all, despite the somersault over the Viva and subsequent rapid deceleration when I met Mr Road...

[Joni]

Exactly Mr Viff... and it was your choice... as it was Mr Jandal man on the attachments choice on what attire he wore on the bike too.

[Smorg]

Are you calling me gay?

If so, it's only gay if your balls touch.

your not a man until you've had a man

[Finn]

Where is WINJA anyway? KB is like Southpark without Cartman.

[dawnrazor]

It must be a hot day..............even the feet are feeling the heat.


And yes, that is a ZZR1100

Conversely, I saw a bloke today struggling through town in 2 peice black leathers...he nearly slipped out of the saddle he was sweating so much.

Seriously though, he was being fried I caught a glimpse of his face and it was bright red, thought he was going to pass out...probably still had the liner in as well LOL

There has to be a middle ground eh, but as the man says each to their own blah blah blah

[RT527]

Cmon you would rather go to the real stuff than friggin waiting for it to happen watching training vids. You are not one of those thats needs councilling every time you "Turn a wheel" are you ?

nah...but there are others that are coming up through the ranks that need watching...and we don't watch training vids
we get out there and do live training....

[RT527]

When I purchased my first bike three years back I also bought full medical, disability, income protection and life insurance that would cover both the wife and I should the unspeakable happen. The decision to once again take up biking was taken in its entirety and that included taking financial responsibility for any off’s I may have.

I have lived most of my life outside of NZ in countries where citizens are left to fend for themselves so the idea of relying on the state is foreign to me.

Unfortunately this does not mean I get any discount on the ACC levy component of my annual reg

Fine your medical is taken care of...its the acc componant that pays the thousands of dollars for someone to come save you!!!.
