If anyone has a copy of the txt to the editor, can you please scan it and post it here? Seems some person is upset at bikes going through suburbia on a Wednesday night. THis is exactly the sort of thing we are fighting against

I read it........ just the usual knob head behaviour... i'd scan it but i'm a computer numpty and don't know how.

I know for a fact there are people complaining to the cops about bikes in suburbia most weeks... I've made my opinion on this pretty clear in the past... it's causing problems for all of us.

I had a look at the bully online and it seems 'text the editor' is not part of the online publication...

This is EXACTLY the sort of thing that we're up against every day. Its going to be a bit of an ask to change public perceptions but we've got off on the right foot here and i believe we can make a change. The quotes in the paper only serve to strengthen our resolve to publicly portray a very different imagemy2c

My scanner is fruited

So here it is word for word:

To the 20+ motorbike riders hooning from mooney st on to bayswater rd wed night, come past again so i can video you doing your monos. My neighbours and i didn't appreciate you lot waking our kids at 930pm either... Hope the cops set up radars again! E, cjong

Sorry did not read it but i did see em all go past on the wen night while i was doing night shift and man there was alot of bikes in that group!

Has any one seen a letter to the editor i posted a week or so ago about the death trap of a round about at the BP cluden turn off? I dont think they will run it untill somone is killed or maimed there due to the center being filled with large jagged rocks! Now i also hear that the new bypass road is going to be lined with chees cutter saftey barreirs that are specificly designed to kill bike riders in an emergency situation. Sorry just a rant
