fucking cunt SagarThe man was riding his Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle east on the drive and collided with a Holden Commodore turning right into the avenue, Snr Const Stuart Sagar said.
Skid marks did not indicate the motorbike was speeding above the avenue's 80kmh limit.
But it could have been weaving between lanes, Snr Const Sagar said.Comment

"may have been weaving"
To avoid the blind fuckwit cager who pulled out on him, you mean?
for fucks sake...“Crashing is shit for you, shit for the bike, shit for the mechanics and shit for the set-up,” Checa told me a while back. “It’s a signal that you are heading in the wrong direction. You want to win but crashing is the opposite. It’s like being in France when you want to go to England and when you crash you go to Spain. That way you’ll never get to England!” -- Carlos ChecaComment

Speaking of PerthNow, has anyone been able to shed any light on whether those fatality stats they quoted in the Sunday Paper last weekend were true? The one where they say out of 29 fatalities only 6 were not the fault of the rider.

That said - if they operate safely at say 80kph - put them on the exits over time when maintenance is being done anyway - whats the problem?...
Not sure how many reverse freeway entries actually happen - I've only heard of 3-4 in 10+ years, so it may not be worth it - but know knows how many others have happened that I haven't heard of?
either way - its not a totally ridiculous idea.Comment

The implication of weaving is that there must be at least two other vehicles travelling 'with' the motorcycle, so 'weaving' simply cannot be true.Comment

cant see why the ones they sometimes use in caravan parks would be a problem - spikes are about 3cms apart and simply drop with the lightest weight on them...Originally posted by sathid View PostComment

I doubt they would be rated for high speed use.
A quick look here seems to indicate that special models are required for higher than carpark speeds.

Not to mention, I've seen traffic backed up on the offramps lots of times. Wouldn't want to be the guy who rolled back slightly in his car, only to find he's now stopping a few thousand people from getting off the freeway.
It might be possible, but is it practical?No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation to detail.

Sounds like the guys who head the wrong way up the freeway learn pretty fast. They don't tend to do it a second time, at least..."Once upon a time we would obey in public, but in private we would be cynical; today, we announce cynicism, but in private we obey."Comment

That doesnt answer my question now does it. If PerthNow have been fudging figures and putting misleading and emotive words and phrases in their articles as part of a public discrimination campaign against riders, I am going to report them to the Press Council. All I need is proof/evidence.Originally posted by kwakas View Post
