Victoads do this from time to time, even survey riders, but they NEVER actually implement anything to make it safer for us...and that's the way it's always been...even the simplest measures, like lowering of guard rails by a few inches, never happens...Victards literally refuse to acknowledge motorcycles exist...an ubundance of studies and statistics on the ineffectiveness of wire rope barriers...not only do they make a mess of us, but they consistently fail to prevent crossover traffic...heaps of new technology and cheaper and safer barriers readilly available...and yet they're putting up wire rope today in a suburb near you.

to be fair, there are some people within their ranks that have good intentions, but this is a severely underfunded department...staff turnover is ridiculously high because it's so badly mismanaged and so drastically understaffed that no-one copes for long.

but yeah, they don't care about us so **** em

like Michael would have said "all i wanna say is that they don't really care about us ! owww
