Motorcycling Road Code is Out

Posted: Thu 15 Jul 1999

The LTSA have finally published their new Motorcyclist\'s road code. It\'s available in stores for the princely sum of $22.95 (isn\'t that a bit steep?). It is substantially larger than the old road code, being A4 size rather than the old A5.
I\'ve had a quick perusal through it, and it seems like they\'ve padded it out a bit. There\'s almost two whole pages devoted to telling you how you should sit on your bike.
I found it interesting that the cover photo of a GSX600 Suzuki was obviously not taken in New Zealand - the bike is being ridden on a sealed single track road through fields of rape seed. It\'s hard to tell from the photo which side of the road the bike is on. I wonder, couldn\'t they find any nice clean motorcyclists to take photos of in New Zealand?
