I would like to know how scooter and their riders have affected the stats for motorbikes.
So many riding scooters are wearing inappropriate clothing and they don't need a motorcycle license but just a car license.

But he was only doing his job that he was paid to do. Oh wait.. That's how most of the poncy titles these days are given out for..

1239387 2011-11-01 04:39:00 None of this deserves a knighthood for the Cup itself - but Graham Henry perhaps for overall services to the game.I agree. Even then I think Knighthood/Dame should be reserved to those with a long-standing contribution or services to NZ. There are lower level honours that can be used for Richie McCaw. If he gets 'Sir' right now then it just makes a mockery of the whole system and dilutes down the value of the Knighthood/Dame achievement. Jen (38)

What do you mean it has already been diluted by the likes of Roger Douglas , Geoffrey Palmer and all the other plonkers that have got it recently.
