Beginners' guide to runners

[loosebruce]

played to much PS2 to cope with the REAL world (you know, the one where people have to work, the one where people REALLY die -can't press RESET and have another go)

Yeah this was a most traumatic moment for myself, after many hours playing battlefeild 2 i decided to join the army, only to flag that idea when i found out that i couldn't re spawn change my kit to anti tank and blow the fuck out of the tank that just blew me to peices, plus i heard you have to get up at stupid hours in the morning and do heaps of physical work, fuck that for a joke.

To be honest i wouldn't give anyone tips on how to gap anymore, i dont want to be responsilbe for them dying cause of something i suggested, it's a dangerous thing to try and do, and i wouldn't recconmend it to anyone. It's your call, Madboy brought up some good points for sure, but yeah you die whatever, just dont take anyone else with you, and thats a very real possibility

Really, I couldn't care less. I didn't even bother reading Madboy's post but it was easy enough to get the gist of it, there's been so many other "I'm the runner king", "Number plates are for nerds" threads in the past that you only have to read the first sentence.

Bottom line is that every dog has his day, you'll win some, you'll lose some.

Oh come on Spud. Not like you to jump in with out looking first. Without reading it you are making assumptions. It was a bit more than 'I'm the runner king,' etc. All in all it was a clinical analysis of the pros and cons of doing a runner. As a lot of posters have said, it's an interesting read no matter what side of the fence 'one' is on.

Riders who run have more chance they will:
A, either kill them selves - Saves a lot of time and money on a Court Case
B, Crash and maime themselves forever and they can't ride anymore.
C, Get away and be dropped in it by their friends / neighbours or the person they cut off.
D, Kill some one else.

Last point You wonder why riders get a bad name.
Yes I ride, But After years of picking up riders off the road either dead or alive, I have to ask IS THE RISK worth it. Simply terms NO.
I now ride my bike as if every other driver on the road is blind and out to get you.

My 2 cents from the Blue side

[justsomeguy]

Cops and robbers or cowboys and injuns?

No cowboys there, all died of butterchicken pox after we tainted their blankys.

[cowpoos]

cowboys and injuns?

you don't like that game remeber!!!!! the cow boy won....

[cowpoos]

Right..... basically madboy your a cock..... most of the welly crew don't want you our the rides anymore coz you attract un-wanted attention to the pass time we enjoy...on thursday nite rides the cops arn't stupid...they know it happens and hav pretty well left us alone.....so why don't you just take your stupided lil wanting ego and keep away from us eh!! your not some sort of urban ledgend your a stupid cunt....that trys to attract attention to himself....

and if you think I'm just saying this on here because there are no repercussions well your wrong mate I'm more than happy to tell you to fuck off to your face....

The name's Poo's. Mr Poo's.

Sorry madboy, but cowpoos is right. Trouble is your actually a good guy but you just cant be comfortable with that. No one cares if your a hero or not, but maybe if you had just been yourself then you would actually be well liked. But you kinda fucked that up for yourself really.

If you truly believed that then you would not ride at all. Not trying to get at you personally. It's just that most forms of enjoyment involve accepting a degree of risk.

Going by the replies most people have seen the point that the consequences of a runner far outweigh the benefits. Simple maths really. Thanks for the calculator Madboy.

I'm reading this thread with great interest. Because I'm having real trouble trying to work out Madboy.

On one hand Madboy, you seem rather cautious, you're good to chat to at the pubs and you hold an intelligent approach to most situations, but on the other - you pull some selfish stunts and you don't seem to care that it is everybody else wearing the repercussions.

Myself, I've personally come close to telling you where to go, especially after hearing about the runner on the learners ride, but after you recently calmed down, I thought you might have reflected on what you've been doing and realised it wasn't fair.
Then I see you on the way up the Takas - With no plate on???

What is up with that? Fark I was pissed off to see that. Have been farked off about it since.

The idea of posting a detailed thread on KB about how to do runners, puts bad information into the minds of a few riders. It doesn't matter that %99 of the sensible people on here will shrug runners off as being a rediculous option. It's that %1 that you are influencing and perhaps even leading to their graves. That is plain irresponsible and it speaks nothing of being a respectful person to bring such a topic into a public forum.

I have only one question to ask you. The many other wonders I have accumulated, I now couldn't care for.

Why do you require no plate being displayed, when you can't keep pace with a large percentage of the Wellycrew anyway?

This is not a dig question. I can't understand why the faster Welly crew riders can work out their time and place, but you can't.
I say give it up man! Coz the Welly crew have been pretty leniant, persisting with your antics. I think we all deserve it.
Just ride with us, when you're caught playing silly buggers - wear it on the chin and ride to enjoy another day.

There's a big bloke wearing Spidi leathers riding an 05 ZX10 that hangs around at the top of the 'Tukas

Is that the fat old guy with a receeding hairline that's up there on fine days?

Nobody should ride motorbikes, its too dangerous.
Nobody should go on the roads at all, its too dangerous.

We should all walk
But care should be taken because more people die walking than doing runners per year.... stairs are dangerous.

I hope that nobody here who is slagging madboy has ever broken any rules........ ie.... speeding? Because that would cause someone to call them hipocrites..... but i am sure there are no hipocrites in here.

How many people die a year from speeding?

Uh oh...... here we go...... Hippocrites!

Now i've gone and slagged you..... i didn't wanna..... but for the moral good of being morally corrupt it is my morally immoral duty to do so.

Now you have headaches too.......

And so do I.... but that's just the electric fence keeping my brain at bay. Its Guantanamo in there bash bash bash

Nobody should ride motorbikes, its too dangerous.

Ah look, the one percent has arrived.

[Jackrat]

An when you get off the motorway always turn right,the cops never expect that.
Or was that left ?
What ever,if ya' get caught,good.
An if ya' don't get caught,tell me an I'll give ya' up.

[kickingzebra]

It was me, in 1999 on heads road, doing 72 kph in a 50k zone with an L plate.. I did it, I succeeded, I doubt the cop cared, and I nearly crapped my daks, and went 70 km all the way back to Marton... Penance paid?
And therefore I bare my back to the smiters!
