"Everyone of us, Superbikers club Malaysia members are very experienced riders where we have toured many countries on our motorcycles according to the law and our slogan from the beginning has always been "SAFETY, COURTESY & HONOR" - Iskandar Zurkanain Mohamed of Superbikers Club Malaysia.
On Dec 3, I posted "A Citizen Against Big Bikes On Highways", featuring a letter from a reader of the NST.
I got in touch with the Superbikers Club Malaysia on this and they responded.
Iskandar further said big bikers always strive to achieve zero mishaps on
every trip or adventure.
"We think what Mohd Ghazali Osman
wrote was totally from his opinion. Accidents happen and can occur to
anyone/motorist, whether it's on 2 wheels or 4 wheels.
"We, as motorists
can be as cautious as we can but there are still times that accidents
cannot be avoided.
"This is a very subjective matter as we know that
accidents on the road does not only happen to big motorcycles on
highways only, it can happen to anyone, anywhere.
"For Mohd Ghazali Osman, I don't know
why he is so upset with big bikers and why he wants us to be banned from
using the highway.
"It's a pointless debate and he should at least look
at the whole situation and not just big bikes.
We have seen and heard
of so many accidents involving all kinds of vehicles and we never
blamed any of them as accidents can happen anytime and anywhere."
