SYD: Tolls

Discussion in 'Australian Motorcycles' started by Zebee Johnstone, May 25, 2005.

  1. What happened at the show? I was interstate at the time and haven't heard
    anything since. I presume the Hornsby plods were playing geese on their own
    turf or have their shenanigans spread to the Brisbane Waters patrol (north
    of the Hawkesbury) too?

    Insewerants companies really shit me but only when we are forced to pay for
    exorbitant policies outside of our control. The same as government
    dickheads who run ramshod over everyone and won't be held accountable. I
    like a counter meal too so put me down for CTP, 0.02 BAC and everything
    else!
    Fark! What bright spark thought that idea up, don't tell me, that loud mouth
    front plate prick thinks he's on a roll!
    Well, meetings with bureaucrats definitely aren't my thing. I'd tend to cast
    aspersions on their perverse sexual habitats with other, alien species in a
    manner that Billy Connolly would be proud of. Unless that's what you need
    (could come in handy for front plate man)! On the other hand, I'm very good
    at counter meals and liquid lunches! Writing doesn't come easy very often,
    I'm horribly disorganised but can wield a big stick and public speaking
    shits me unless it's after aforementioned meal types. Better put me down
    for research, statistic skewing or something similar behind the scenes (the
    web site looks like it could do with more often updates and info, btw) and
    see if anybody still wants me!

  2. We need you to clone yourself a few times to help make up the numbers Cam!

    Well they say on the invoice that if the tag isn't read at the time of use
    I'll be charged an extra $5.
    So far I've been going about 2 years now with no extra charge. I think it
    may be a scare tactic that is not used presently.

    Thanks for helping to make my point. Even counting the bikes is going to be
    an overstatement of the true number. (And I'm presuming that all states have
    an equivalent of the Victorian rec-reg)

    They were asked by the organisers to have a stand at the show to talk
    about road safety.

    They declined, saying that it was the equivalent of asking for free
    "security" and if the show wanted cops there they had to pay for it.

    However... 6 cars and a few bike cops turned up, parked around the
    place, drove through the show a couple of times, and set up speed traps
    everywhere.

    OK, I'll pass the info on :) I know the lights on people want someone
    to trawl through the research and distill it.

    The website's being worked on, I'll pass on your name to them too.

  7. You don't need cloning, JL, you've convinced enough girlies to ride!
