The Sad facts about the issues that surround motorcycling today...

[QUOTE=fireblade from MCP] Jobert, they will definitely hit you with your weaknesses. Also, I agree with the use of numbers (verified) to back up claims. It will be very hard to present a case with only rhetorics and statements without basis. 

I am not sure where I stand with this MC lane a this point. One thing good though is there is some semblance of discipline that can be seen. Good or bad, there is discipline and it will help the image of the MC riders eventually. How I hated Martial Law based on stories, but now I sorely miss it due to what I see everyday.

Yes, there is no discipline and no sure formula to cure this. But this so called band aid remedies might just help do the trick if you see small results or baby steps gained. Look at it this way, with what they are imposing, there are now many enforcers which kinda scares away our riders. This is what we want given what we have done.

Again, twas the MC dealers who offered MCs to anyone. Second, twas the LTO who made all riders pass the DL exams. Third, our government is not ready to face the upswing on MC riders. Fourth, we can not fight for everyone. 

Bets to choose the battles.

These are all sad facts of motorcycling...

However, you do not impose the burden on the end user when they are not the ones accountable for the governments lack of control over their responsibilities...

We are all entitled to the equal protection of the laws... Without it, prejudice, biased opinion and discrimination will grow and spin out of control as well... If we allow that to happen, then you can say and tell every single rider that we, only have ourselves to blame...

How much of the Government's initiatives lasted to acceptable and considerable effects? I fear that the weakness in general of the riding public in terms of knowledge, access to information and the voice to be heard will be used against them unless something is done about it...

We know and acknowledge the problems that we have... And we cannot allow them to resort to totalitarian rule over the citizens who are only trying to live their lives with their right to use their property and travel to and from work...

Anyway...

We shall be provided with the copy of the dialogue with Pinky Webb on ANC...
