Today Tonight on Monday

[twowheels]

I know this a Skyline/cage sight but......

(Joe, you'd be aware of this off the PSB site)

This Monday (24-05-04) Today Tonight are running a story on motorbike 'hoons'. They downloaded footage off the Perth Extreme site and intend to air it with 'expert' opinion being given by some wankers. Quotes include "They are loaded weapons ready to go off" "menaces to society" etc. You get the idea anyway.

As much as this won't interest you guys in the point of it's about motorbikes, the ramifications of this could be far reaching. SAUWA is a close group with high powered vehicles that enjoying pushing their cars to the limits, you know, driftin and stuff.

Who knows, the next story could be on SAUWA, probably unlikely but hey, it's a possibilty and this probably a bit of a warning that the sensationalising journos really don't care about the positives of group events but only focus on negatives.

Anyhows that's my 2 cents worth.

Have fun all

[CS_180]

well no offence but if u keep all SAUWA events both safe and legal then what can they possibly write a damning story about????

SAUWA break the sppedlimit and roadrules legaly???

that will be an interesting story for them

[RB20LagWagon]

hahahahahh , yer i bet the last wet cruise sau had was safe etc, lets not go thinking because is SAUWA its saintly. Thanks for the heads up bikes or powered cars are all painted with the same brush.

[N I B]

There is going to be lots more of this thing i think so thanks for the tip.

[PSIKO]

exactly, we all fall under into the same group

anything happening to bikes we should take as much notice of since, as said, it's 'broad' enough to encompass imports

[skyzerr33]

This will blow up in the car scene again when the SPR dvd/video is released. If your cars in any of the illegal footage they have i'd be asking for it to be removed.

The police use it as evidence to charge you with whatever you were doin wrong. hopefully in these scenes the SPR ppl were smart enough to bler number plates

[summoner]

why dont people who recorded footage from perthextreme mearly state to today tonite they are not permitted to use the footage.

as the original recorders and hosters they hold the copywrite and therefore should have legal rights to deny usage of footage in such a manner.

[twowheels]

As far as i'm aware Summoner they are definitly looking at wot action they can take, however with site being publicly accessible the copyright infringement laws get a bit blurred. There is also the question of other stuff as well such as defamation.

[twowheels]

it does go to show though that TT is real short on decent stories. Naturally the footage they show will be very selective as most of the stuff was done on dead end back roads.

It will be interesting viewing that's for sure, what they won't say is that most of theses guys are race riders, the group organises track days and workshops to improve skills.

[tomj]

of course not that doesnt make for a damming story

[Pva_Glue]

well, indeed...

water underbridge... it will be yesterday new by next month.

thing shits me is that they used COPYRIGHTED footage on TV, should sue them for damages.

my two cents

cheers

Joe

[twowheels]

lol TJ. too true, too true.

I hate mofo journalists

[twowheels]

that's probably in the lines PVA

[Pva_Glue]

btw, someone capture the vids for us...

some ppl work during that time

ps.the "Joe" refering to me right? hahahhheheheh

[twowheels]

You got it "Joe".

i got most of the vids downloaded that they're goin to use.

I'm sure that there will be numerous numbers taping on Monday, after all, gotta have somehting to laugh at

Sorry guys, I don't agree! While I do apprechiate the notice and interset in wellbeing of our club and drivers. I have been to some fast and respected cruises with selected participants. We all have fun but how we behave, as a club should not be mentioned.

There are those of us that appreciate an art of owning a Skyline. Hence SAUWA!!!

I love my ride; I respect the club rules and do not accept a term "Perth Extreme".

So don't affiliate us with statements like those, as there are others that read stuff on these forums. It is harmful. Again it comes to the language used.

So lets be mindful of such comments. I respect bike riders but dare I say that when you go for a bike licence you are told to ride defensively. Not aggressively mad. There is a cult to this image of patriots. I.e. An art of speed. Movies such as Gt40 run through Paris streets, the Z350 in Prag City .... Getaway_in_stockholm.mov do a search on the net guys.....driven by professionals and recorded on the pro equipment.....I say not armatures. Not everybody knows how to drive/ride. I don't have to say no more.

By saying this you've just said we break the law on cruises with "selected participants"...

?? Perth Extreme is not a term - it's a bike club man..

Again.. ?? you've just taken the same view as the public on modd'ed cars - a nice generalisation there..

I'm trying to work out what you're actually trying to say here Sexila...

[sexzila]

Cam just trying to say and look at the quote ...from PSIKO....That just saying the things like that make you look like the oldies want you to, dangerous speed freaks.......

Lets be diplomatic about all this, and what is this "WE" business? hheehhe

Lets not attach adjectives to other people as we are not all the same...

This is a fight I can't win I know, its the same discussion I had with few insurance people.

Try telling someone you are calm and respestfull of others when you are driwin an inport.

There is a saying "You are who you are with" And that is missleading isn't it.

Again I say lets use smart language. Iknow you ride a bike Cam and drive Skyline but that doesn't make you a Mad Max does it?

Lets not advertise it!

Sorry if I have offended any bike riders .....
