      We agree 100%, we are looking at a couple of options, but I think the only way to have it removed would be to start a class action against the Govt for discriminating against motorcyclists as we are forced to pay 100% of the levy and only cause a minority of the collisions.

    Hey guys, I became one of those who think it will never happen to me after I left Saturday’s event at GHD. Yeah right! I’m always wary of my surroundings and traffic. But all it takes is one impatient and blind idiot in a 4WD to fail to give way and I’m lying on the road with a broken arm and my bike damaged and I get the old line, sorry I didn’t see you. We can have all the gear and heads on a swivel and it will still happen.
    After this and a minor bingle where the driver in front of me braked suddenly. I’m starting to think about my future and whether riding is in it.

You have to make a decision based on your experiences but we do hope you return to riding sometime in the future. Keep in touch Daz, we are thinking of you, because but for the grace of God it could be any one of us! Cheers brother.

      @hogscogsandtwoaussieflogs no mate the problem is they are not doing the job properly in the first place. It starts with flat compact ground. Then, a decent road-based, compacted properly. Then, a thick layer of bitumen. You saw it yourself. Less than an inch of bitumen. Then, when the road starts falling apart, they spray bitumen into it, instead of filling it Then compacting it properly with a whacker. First vehicle that drives over it, breaks it apart. I drive Nth Qld to Melbourne almost every week. Have done so for decades. My dad was a truckie before that. He also drove a tipper on a road gang. I saw how they built & repaired roads in the mid 80s. & I see how they do it these days

    The organisers of the Blessing of the Bikes have done nothing to help themselves! Their conduct in threatening legal action against the likes of churches who were inadvertently calling events "Blessing of the Bikes" without understanding any legal implications is an awful way to conduct business. A year or two ago I challenged the organisers about how much money went to Zaidees, and I was told that nothing had- it was going to administration costs. At one stage I was approached for my business to assist with one event, and the attitude from them was awful. They don't have a great reputation amongst many people for the way they conduct themselves. No one to blame but themselves.

    The millennials and particularly the gen Z ers have equality as a high value for them.
