motorcycling politician?
Anyone aware of any motorcycling politicians? To me the Gay / Lesbian push for equal rights gets a fair run in the press. Through a bit of research I note that the population in Australia of registered motorcycles and peoples who identify as gay or lesbian are about on par at 2 - 3%. Surely something as menial as filtering should be relatively easy to get through parliament with the right connections. Or maybe we could all wait for Penny Wong to grow a pair and get a zx10r?

Re: motorcycling politician?
i was talking to a mate who is the Chairman of the Aust Motorcycle Council (He rides a ZRX!) about a Canberra ride they organised and there was a number of pollies in the ride. If I remember correctly one of them almost binned their bike going thru a roundabout.

The trouble is that with a two party system the little guy, no matter how noble his quest, doesn't have a chance.
