Wayne Swan's image of John Howard as a "political bikie" is both frightening and funny.
Frightening because it accurately portrays the attitude the PM is displaying towards opponents and colleagues alike. Australia doesn't need this kind of political thuggery.
Funny, because of the thought of John Howard on a chopper, barely able to reach the handlebars.
Surely our great cartoonists will have a field day with that one.

I expect to see quite a few motor cycle club members lining up to punch Wayne Swan's lights out for that insult.
Well deserved too.. what have motor cycle club members ever done to Wayne Swan that they should be so debased and abused?
You could be onto something here fund-raising post-Centenary-House-Wise. I reckon Wayne's got HARDMAN written all over him enough for him to take it for The Party.
Mind you, I'm not sure about the ethics of making yet another form of highly addictive behaviour acceptable in polite society.
And anyway, surely a
Dinkie* would be more Johnny's speed.

*Dinkie(noun, transitive**, archaic)
A small 3 wheeled tricycle (?) for children usually under the age of 4. This bike consists of one approximately 10 inch wheel with pedals at the front and 2 small 5 inch wheels at the back. The Dinkie may also have a small tray beneath the 2 rear wheels.
The dinkie is usually blue in colour with a yellow or white, flat seat. These bikes can be ridden by adults for a joke or to take off a jump for fun.
Usage:
"Mum ! Johnny wont give me back my Dinky"
"Johnny! Stop teasing Peter"
**Transitive: Well they've get you from A to B don't they?
Goodta, you are an evil genius. With the imagery flowing like Wayne's blood at a biker convention, can I suggest:

So that's the new, Greens prefs catching, Ruddmobile is it?
Let me know when you're next doing West End Markets, so I can come down and have a turn.
Actually we got one of them rusting down the backyard. I just went and had a look, it's branded "The Luvvie". It's still got the baby capsule on it. It was quite tricky to ride, it had a swivel-joint that meant it would lean as you turned corners, in a counter-inyuitive fashion, just like real bikes with side cars.
You turned to the left, the bike leaned to the right, perfect for a Labor-sponsored urban transit solution.
Maybe if I do ours up, we can have a race sometime? How about down the park at Hawthorne?
