[v8s&2wheels]

yellow ducati being a wanker by the sounds of it. should be a good watch.

and who from here is it?

[Squiggles]

It was me, on a Haldanes test bike, reinacting the matrix.

[wbks]

yellow ducati being a wankeromg-lets watch!

[jaymzw]

Whos the naughty boy on the yellow Duke then?

[Squiggles]

Danae got lucky and they didnt catch her Scooter

[Fatt Max]

Blimey, dude on the banana bike was not arf giving it the arse up the N Western.

Liked the copper saying that you 'Dont ride like that on my...er...the motorway" LMFAO

[pyrocam]

in b4 merge

guy is a bit of a toss, hooning around with a fair bit of lube on his tire in a windbreaker and jeans.

yeah bit of a fuck up there.

What pisses me off is cop thinks he knows what hes talking about with chain lube flicking onto the edge of the tyre 'and could easily move to middle of the tyre'. But he doesnt even know how to take a key out of a motorbike. Something screams bullshit artist to me.

[jaymzw]

in b4 merge

Didnt the cop love it though:Punk:

Gave him the big lecture and all. Mind you i suppose they would see their fair share of bad accidents.

Gotta love the other guy hooning past the other way! CLASSIC!

EDIT: Cheers to the mods for the merge. V8&2wheels, great minds post alike!

[batboy]

what i dont get is they suspend his license etc on what proof? some cage ringing *555? does that count as proof? Did the cop actually clock him doing "180" .I know the silly twat did not help himself buy not denying it but still? or did i just miss something?

Yeah wondered what happened to my thread title lol. Must be a suzuki thinking posting thing ae.

At least biker wasnt a dick trying to deny it etc. Just took it as it came

[jaymzw]

WOW $1000 fine and automatic 28days loss of lisence!

Is this common place for this type of speed? I wouldnt know because i dont go that quick LOL

[Creeping Death]

Scuse my ignorance,but isn't 100kmh the speed limit on the motorway?

If bikers speed was 160 (as said at the end of the program) then wouldn't his fine be $600?

Thought it was $10 per k over the limit was the rule yet he got a grand?

I'm prolly wrong but that was my understanding.

[Gremlin]

There's no set 10k per limit or something...

Anything over 50kph over the limit, and you will probably be charged with dangerous driving, and you get to have a nice chat to people in a courtroom. Then its an attitude test.

Some people fail those tests alarmingly well. :laugh:

[WarlockNZ]

Speeding fines increase progressively from $30 for speeds less than 10 km/h over the limit, to a maximum fine of $630 for speeds up to 50 km/h over the limit.

If your speed is more than 50 km/h over the limit you could be charged with careless, dangerous or reckless driving, and at more than 40 km/h above the speed limit you could also get a 28-day licence suspension.

http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/factsheets/55.html

[v8s&2wheels]

40k over speed limit is around $600 fine from memory (havent had it). And then chuck in a $400 fine for dangerous driving (riding in the this situation) and that makes your $1k pretty simple.

Also he was disqualified for 6 months total. They said loss of licence for 28 days was on the spot (because he did over 40kms over speed limit, cops are allowed to take licence right there and then).

[Gremlin]

...and at more than 40 km/h above the speed limit you could also get a 28-day licence suspension.
Not could... you do.

Unless the nice officer writes your crazy speed down to 139 or something like that.

[Maha]

licence suspension.



Is that licence suspension adjustable or is it pre-loaded?

[pyrocam]

I ride with random other riders all the time, its not unbelievable that he could of been riding with someone he didnt know. sometimes I prefer to ride with some random than some of the other people I ride with

im not 100% sure but I thought there was a change to the way sppeders were fined earlier on in the year? Larger $$ at the cost of less demerits.

[EatOrBeEaten]

Hehehehe, I thought it was sweet that they felt the need to add the sound of the other bike hooning past the stopped Duke.

I'm also a bit shocked that someone who chooses to dress like Liam Gallagher circa "wonderwall" was riding a 748. Clearly the man's taste only extends as far as his transport...

You obviously missed that fat fuck on the ZX10 on last weeks program...hoodie,jeans and sandshoes...:shit:

[WarlockNZ]

when it comes to cops and bikes it's always pre loaded ... LOL .. hell, i got pulled over last month, and i said to the cop and i quote "excuse me officer and with all due respect, why did you pull me over and not the car in front of me, i was matching his speed?"

His reply.

"You were going 1K faster"

[jaymzw]

If your speed is more than 50 km/h over the limit you could be charged with careless, dangerous or reckless driving, and at more than 40 km/h above the speed limit you could also get a 28-day licence suspension.

So if i could try and learn something on here for once, (apart from how to talk shit) what is the worst of those three?

Do any stop you visiting other countries etc? Just interested thats all.

I've never heard of traffic offenses affecting a travel visa .. but that's not my area i would imagine it might meet emigration policy.

"If it meets the definition of a "crime" as it is punishable by imprisonment. You definitely need to declare it."

if your worried about it contact the embassy of the country you want to visit.

[Insanity_rules]

I think that the Ducati Family should disown this clown! I don't want to be tarred with the same brush as that dumbass!

[Creeping Death]

Only if your tokin a joint while speeding....mon.:Punk:

Ahem....cough-itwasyouaye-cough cough!:shit:

[sil3nt]

Im surprised there was no thread for last weeks episode where two bikers were pulled up.

One for riding a bike over 250cc while on restricted the other for riding a 250 with no bike license. I guess we only care about the speeders around here :shifty:

Never really watch tv just happened to be having a lazy night and saw the advert for it. Wish i had watched last weeks too then. Anything bike related is worth watching for me. What size bike was the guy on that had his restricted?

[WarlockNZ]

So no then:blink:

LOL .. it may depend, take the US for example, they don't consider traffic violations and felony (jail time) only as a misdemeanor (fine) .. so no a speeding fine in NZ shouldn't effect a US visa ...

but it may depend on the country ..

A drug charge in NZ ... then yes, you can pretty much kiss a visa for the USA goodbye.

i'd love to be corrected tho :)

[EatOrBeEaten]

You obviously missed that fat fuck on the ZX10 on last weeks program...hoodie,jeans and sandshoes...:shit:
That's a ZX-10 though. Ducati riders should have more class :oi-grr: :D

saw part of that one .. didn't really have a problem with the guy with no license ... he wasn't realy doing anything wrong in my opinion. just a little fast over the bridge...

come on ... it's an 80 zone ... no one does 80 over the bridge if they don't have to ... LOL . shit .. how many people actually know it's an 80 zone :)

i sense a poll coming on ... ha ha

[Insanity_rules]

Ahem....cough-itwasyouaye-cough cough!:shit:

Yeah! none of the gear all of the time and I have an atitude problem. Actually............................

[sil3nt]

What size bike was the guy on that had his restricted?ZX 10 according to another post in this topic. The cop told him he could apply to get the fine withdrawn if he gets his license (as he was eligible to get it he was just lazy) but he got the cop to write down on the ticket that he had 28 days to get his full license and get off the ticket. Cheeky bugger!

[Creeping Death]

All good, was playin along.

[MaxB]

AFAIK 140 kmh is the magic number (+40 over). Below that you get to keep your licence.

A 28 day walk plus a traffic offence notice follows but here's the kicker. There is a small degree of latitude with what you are charged. 2 guys I know have had quite a difference in thier tickets. One was 145 ish and charged with dangerous driving 'cos he was weaving in and out of rush hour traffic. Another was 165 in an 80 but stopped safely when ordered to at a checkpoint. His was exceeding 80 kmh (speeding).

The penalties in addition to the 28 day walk: DD denied charge, found guilty, 6 month walk $650 fine plus costs. Speeder pleaded gulity got 50 points, no walk and $1230 fine plus costs.

Jeez some places have a higher speed limit than our 'your a bad person for speeding' offence limits.

[Creeping Death]

All good, was playin along.

So it WAS you!:shit:

[WarlockNZ]

So it WAS you!:shit:

LOL .. take it outside boys :)

[ynot slow]

About to upset the hierachy.What the fark $1000 and 6 months disq for speeding on top of mandatory 28 day license lost.
Then the idiot still pissed blowing 728mcg or so on restricted? car license without full holder in car,he gets $450 and 6 months disq.

Am I only one confused,i.e road safe message being spouted by police boss',no quotas etc.What a load of bollocks.When DIC accused is in court nearly twice adult limit and gets $550 less fine than a speeding guy.In my mind yes they're both farkin menaces on road,but why the crap about don't drink and drive if they're getting piss arse penalties.

Wish the judges would get real.

[Toot Toot]

I ride with random other riders all the time, its not unbelievable that he could of been riding with someone he didnt know. sometimes I prefer to ride with some random than some of the other people I ride with

One time that I got stopped he asked who my "mate" was I was riding with.

ME: You mean the guy on the bike next to me?

COP: Yeah

ME: Didnt know him

COP: Bollocks

ME: (pointing at cars travellig along Mwy)You reckon the guy in that car knows the fella in the car driving in the lane next to him?

COP: ok fair point

[jrandom]

ME: (pointing at cars travellig along Mwy)You reckon the guy in that car knows the fella in the car driving in the lane next to him?

Yeah, except for the minor point that you did know the other rider, didn't you.

No wonder cops get so cynical about humanity.

[jetboy]

Haha that was a funny segment of Motorway Patrol! Especially when is mate came hooning past again and the commentators words:

"...when his fellow racer came past after doing a loop...." VVRRRROOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM "....that was him!"

I'd be pissing myself laughing if I got pulled up and my mate did that!

[cowpatz]

Not sure whether the cops enjoy being in front of the camera, playing celebrity dork (most can't even string a sentence together and wear $10 petrol station sunnies), or get pissed at having to play nice and watch their P's and Q's with the offenders.

Yeah,that show is only worth watching to see white NZ born cops struggle with the english language.

The classic was the cop who said:"I found a drink can made of a cannabis pipe"
Dumb fucks

[Leyton]

yeah bit of a fuck up there.

The copper looked nervous about to blast a biker for speeding. But wow! Look at that lube!

[onearmedbandit]

Did anyone notice the footage from the helicopter after the Ducati riders 'mate' rode past again? Looked a lot like a cruiser to me and my girl, not a sportsbike. Did they just chuck random footage in there or did they just film the wrong bike? Or was I too wasted?

[pyrocam]

I was surprised they did not have another bit after it saying they caught the other biker, they did have a heli on him. maybe because it wasn't the same bike as you suggest.

To me it did look like a different bike. or he was just sitting on his tank with his legs out.

[Ecclesnz]

or he was just sitting on his tank with his legs out.

That was his cunning plan to fool the chopper ;)

[boomer]

One time that I got stopped he asked who my "mate" was I was riding with.

did you tell that to the old girl that pulled us on the desert road after i did a runner?

[pyrocam]

That was his cunning plan to fool the chopper ;)

you could tie auto-inflating black and silver lifejackets to the sides of your bike. pull the string and look like a harley.

also might help if you drive into a really deep puddle

[Toot Toot]

did you tell that to the old girl that pulled us on the desert road after i did a runner?

No way, I dobbed your ass right in!

Who was the dumb fucker that came back ?

[boomer]

i dunno, but he sure was a sweet talker ! :love:

they had that rozza wrapped around there fingers !

[wbks]

i sense a poll coming on ... ha ha

I know that the bridge is an 80 zone, I just choose to treat it as a 100 zone. That reminds me of the time I got pulled over and the cop said I was going over 80 - I said "gee I thought the whole motorway system was 100k" he said he was fairly sure I was going over 100 too and told me to take it easy in future, which of course I did :innocent:

[boomer]

Fuck, you guys are cool. Can you please tell us some more about the time you did a runner? I mean, I know nobody asked, or cares, but go on...


Sit back down in the stupid corner, adults were talking.

Okay, that was funny.

That proves to me that yellow Ducati 748 owners are from the shallow end of the gene pool.

[Indiana_Jones]

Yeah, except for the minor point that you did know the other rider, didn't you.

[dipshit]

Well that guy anyhow. It wasn't funny or cool. He had the makings of yet another kiwi loser.

It certainly doesn't help the general public thinking motorcyclist's are a bunch of morons.

Okay, there was a certain amount of humour to be had at his mate doing a fly by (if you can imagine your high horse was off to one side just for a minute, and we were in the "box', that pretend place where we can discuss anything...).

[wbks]

Wholy hell! I watched the same episode, at the same time, but I must have missed the part where they showed all the stuff that you guys are talking about! I mean, surely it would be fucking ignorant to call him all of these things you are when your only ammo is 3 mins of footage of him without adequate gear? That describes most motorcyclist in NZ at some point.

[MarkH]

Having watched the show on tvnz.co.nz I can't help wondering a few things:

Two bikes riding along, passing a few cars & exceeding the speed limit - how does that indicate they were racing? It really isn't that unusual for a couple of guys to ride along the motorway going a bit quicker than they should.

The cop suggests 180kph and says the rider will go to court for exceeding 160kph - I got the impression that they didn't have an exact reading on the speed and the 160+ was just a guesstimate. It seems a little harsh to be charged in court on a guess of your speed rather than actual evidence IMO.

Some chain oil had flicked onto the sidewall of the tyre - I personally doubt that this leads to a high risk of an accident. I don't think the cop was a biker.

[bsasuper]

He should get off the speeding accusation, chances of getting a radar reading bobbing in and out of cars is very low, however dangerous riding depends if he geta a good lawyer.

[R6_kid]

I'm pretty sure that was from late last year, I remember seeing a yellow ducati pulled over with the camera crew there as well. I was heading 'east' towards Te Atatu on my GSXR...

[wbks]

I'm pretty sure that was from late last year, I remember seeing a yellow ducati pulled over with the camera crew there as well. I was heading 'east' towards Te Atatu on my GSXR...Seriously?

[MarkH]

I'm pretty sure that was from late last year, I remember seeing a yellow ducati pulled over with the camera crew there as well. I was heading 'east' towards Te Atatu on my GSXR...

Last year sounds about right. At the end of the episode they mention that the rider was fined $1000 & lost his license for 6 months, obviously the episode screened after his court case. Usually the court case is a few months after the offence.

[ICE180]

most programes are about 4-6months old from the time of the shoot to editing then post production
then on to TVNZ censors etc and everyone else that needs to check it before it can air

[rebel]

Load of shit re the chain lube. I never cleaned my old CBR250 and the rear tyre constantly looked like that. 14,000km of commuting and weekend thrashes and not once did the rear feel like it was about to let go. I'm not a fan of 'know alls', some people need to keep their mouth shut sometimes.

[jrandom]

Bros before hoes?

Hoes get pretty cynical about humanity, too.

[GurlRacer]

Depends on each case when they air.. Police 10-7 is generally aired a month or so later...
I somehow managed to meet most of the Police 10-7 crew (the coppas, not the camera guys!).... but I shall not tell you how... :blip:
