They must'd been riding under pressure.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Sad for those affected, but in media terms it's just another example of "if it bleeds, it leads" unfortunately
Bloody sad for anyone involved.
Personally the ridiculously high rego isn't helping us, people parking up their bikes for 6 months is not the answer. We need really low cost rego to get more motorcyclists on our roads. the more there are the more car drivers will become accustomed to seeing them.
The 60s and early 70s saw most kids cycling to school, the roads were full of kids on bikes, we as car drivers were much more aware of their presence on our roads.
Just my thought for today.
Here is the Ministry of Transports report for 2016.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
absolute bullshit statistics.No where in that data(unlees i am blind) does it relate those figures with the actual number of motorcycles on the road.And those figures I am guessing are seriously flawed because of the possible huge numbers of motorcyclists that are travelling on unregistered and therefore invisible to TPTB.They dont say that the numbers of accidents are related to the total number of motorcycles on the road which as we know has had large swings in the intervals between the 70 and 80s and now.
Is it the first week of December already or are there not many newsworthy affairs currently?
The number of bikes registered has no bearing in this context though. It's merely looking at accidents, when you're involved in an accident whilst riding a motorcycle it's not relevant whether said bike is registered or not? So in that sense, the percentages apply, which corresponds with motorcyclist behaviour which I see day to day.
As a biker myself, I don't like the stats, but what's published doesn't surprise me one bit. Unfortunately
