SITTIN HERE THIS MORNING AND THE SKY TRACKER HELICOPTER IS HOVERING OVER YET ANOTHER BLOODY CAR AND MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT. THIS MORNINGS ACCIDENT WAS FATAL.MY IDEA IS PRETTY BLOODY SIMPLE( LIKE YOU'D EXPECT ONE OF MINE TO BE COMPLICATED).ACKNOWLEDGE A MOTORBIKE RIDER DAY OR WEEK , I KNOW WE ALL RIDE HERE BUT WE ALL HAVE FRIENDS WHO DONT RIDE.mY IDEA IS TO PASS THIS ONTO OUR FRIENDS WHO DRIVE, A SIMPLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WHILE THIER DRIVING THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY SEEN US, A NOD OR A WAVE IS ALL IT TAKES.YOU COULD GET THE KIDS INVOLVED AND TURN IT INTO A TYPE OF GAME WHERE THE LITTLE STINK MONKIES ACTUALLY TRY AND SPOT BIKERS..ON OUR BEHALF WE COULD PROLLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE DRIVERS BACK TO LET THEM KNOW WE ARENT ALL BIG MEAN BAD ARSES..AS YOU KNOW MARNI AND I BOTH RIDE EVERYDAY AND HAVE A SHITLOAD OF NEAR MISSES.SO A BIT OF PUBLICITY AND COOPERATION BETWEEN ALL OF US ROAD USERS MAYBE WE CAN SAVE SOME POOR BASTARD FROM GETTING SMASHED UP OR EVEN WORSE AND SAVE ALOT OF POOR BUGGERS ALOT OF GRIEF ..CHEERS BOOF

Sounds good to me Boof.

Lets call it "PUNCH BIKE " instead of Punch Bug. ( game my kids use to play )

Emergency driving courses all say that you can take the space when you know that everyone else sees and acknowledges your intentions. " I SEE YOU SEE ME AND I KNOW YOU SAW ME. " Wave howdy.

Sounds like a good idea to me also.

I agree

Boof, that's a great idea. Simple is always the best way to address any issue.

This is a great idea,and if it went worldwide that would be even better!!! I have often thought why not have a day to recognize bikers in general,just to increase peoples awareness of all riders on the road including bicycle riders..?
I wonder what it would take to git everyone one on board ? in the meantime keep you n the lady shiny side up !!!

Huge brakes, that's the answer. I slow way down when I don't get eye contact. I know they're not looking at me because they're ashamed in advance of what they're about to do. But making a conscious show of seeing riders can't hurt and might even make our society a little bit more civil.

I ride tons of backroads and always look into oncoming vehicles, too bad they look right thru us. This is such a simple idea that it just might help. All thats left to do is spread the word. Get the kids playing Slug-A-Bike. I will put forth this idea on my other social media and really spred the word.
