Now i know that this has nothing to do with cars but this is for a good cause and I thought it may interest some of you.
Sign the petition...

Tex and Bundy are just a symptomatic example of whats been happening in Australia (NSW) in regards to the law and policy making by the Government.
Motorcycling and motorcyclist rights have continued to be ignored by our law makers, with no consultation with motorcyclists as road users, ratepayers and valued members of the community.
Tex and Bundy assist in raising $250,000 for charity annually by riding on Tex's bike all around Australia, Tex has done close to 1 million km's on his bike with Cash his last dog and now Bundy. Despite the RTA claiming no laws would be implemented without an evidence based case and community consultation. Law 297 was introduced without discussion or relevant experts and organisations included in the law making process. This law prevents Bundy from riding on the tank even though restrained and trained but the Roads Minister has concluded that she is safe riding upon the back of a motorcycle unrestrained.
This is an excellent example of law making exceeding knowledge and education, we are the motorcyclists and road users, the knowledge base for what these laws are supposed to protect. Yet Government & RTA don't see fit to acknowledge or include us in this process.
We are seeking an exemption for Tex & Bundy to continue their charity work on their motorcycle and show the NSW Government we are truly sick of being ignored.

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

typical pollies , they know whats best???? or have a report that tells them how good they will be, if they do change this or that??
maybe im too critical its just my own opinion??????? i think any dog up front is more visible and safer . id love to read the consultation and recommendation papers on this one!!!
Im in another state , and i hope they don't follow the n.s.w. lead or in this case , folly.
i am 100% for Tex and Bundy , i hope they get an exemption and can do what they do best.
cheers. |
