In 2013, 40 motorcycle riders and pillions were killed. Of these fatalities, 45% were single vehicle crashes and, of those, 44% occured on a road with a 100km/hr speed limit. blah blah stuff

Methinks somebody at TAC is not checking the Website content as they should.  Might email them tomorrow and see how long this stays.



Marcus, if haven't got something better to do, you can come and do an oil & filter change for me.

Much more interesting to say nothing.
Then we can see how long it stays there.

Nice to see how much they really care about motorcycle fatalities etcetera etcetera etcetera.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

You can be sure it doesn't take them a week to process the speed camera pictures and Cops' ticket books.

I sent them a little heads up... message... Something about how I've now posted it all over the internet on various motorbike places and something about how if they want to be professional then they should treat us riders with a little more respect blah blah blah stuff
