If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
My vote DOES NOT MEAN I DO IT ... but I do know what the sign means and what I'm supposed to do - I ignore it .. it just means the speed passed which I will get ticketed if caught .. (you don't have that option in your poll)
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Poll does not work for me. In my car, I am very abiding of limits. On my bikes, it is a different story.
d) no fucks given. I'll drive/ride to the lesser of: how i feel; the conditions.
I thought the speed limit signs were just for cars
No body move... I dropped my brain
It merely represents what a committee in Wellytown decided "would be nice" for that area of road. It has no relevance on conditions or environmental factors might be applicable.
Option D: Ride to the conditions.
TOP QUOTE: “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
Personal understanding is, it's law. Personal view is, it's a guide only. Some cops turn a blind eye if slightly over (given the conditions at the time) whereas a speed camera does not.
An observation is that most car drivers are happy at 90 kph.
I voted Target - however its a little misleading - if the conditions are such that in a 100 Kph zone, the safest maximum speed I can ride/drive is less than that, I will drive/ride at those speeds (Gravel tracks for example may be 100 kph Zone, but since I am not Sebatian Loeb...)
Physics; Thou art a cruel, heartless Bitch-of-a-Mistress
Which is why you get shit like this?
Not that I'm complaining.....but it's funny how I'm a danger to everyone at 105kph + on a sealed and well maintained road, but I can do 100 on back block single lane gravel roads complete with live stock, potholes, other traffic and all while sipping a beer (so long as I'm under the legal limit).
This is one of the reasons why I have less and less fucks to give about traffic laws and the paper pushing dweebs that make em as I get older
Not that I go mental on the road or anything.
For better example, let's say it's on a good condition i.e. Sun shining, 10am Saturday, general motorway/ highway back road, low traffic and no road works, sealed road etc.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Oh, I thought you meant those yellow signs suggesting a speed for a corner. Generally I take those 20 to 30 km/hr above the sign's recommended speed - except for a couple of 35 km/hr posted corners on the Kawhia road, they mean it.
On the roads I try to stay under the posted speed limit, but find I creep up above it as I don't spend all my time staring at the speedo. I watch the road for the many dangers out there for someone riding a motorcycle.
