Bad Link, here it is: https://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au/gi/c ... /view.html

Already have!

I did understand this though: "Do you support removing the road rule that requires motorcycle riders to sit astride their seat facing forwards? This will mean the Queensland Police Service will use other rules to ensure riders do not ride dangerously, for example side-saddle or stunt riding."

I think it needs to read something along the lines

facing forward with at least 4 points of contact with the motorcycle

that would allow you to stretch a leg or stand up to see or get the circulation going in your ass

All these governments that think they have a choice in the matter... The NSW laws (coming in) state that you can't move all the way to the front of the queue because you can't go beyond the white line. So instead we sit next to them so they can try and drag us off the line? Nah thanks, she'll be right.
