Touched a nerve eh precious?
I also drive noisy cars - but don't drive 'em in an annoying, noisy 'look-a-me, look-a-me' manner.
Actually no. Cos i drive responsibly and save it for the track myself. Wouldn't have poured $6k into a track car to do donuts on the road, thats just retarded.

The family of the young lady who was killed on Moorhouse Ave a short while ago would disagree! I don't think that a noisy bike has ever killed some body.
The Boi race's rights to race a race car on the road does not in any way override the rest of the publics right to us the road and not be killed.
Shit happens. While I do share my condolences with the family of the victim, freak accidents happen every now and again.

Substitte 'boi-racers' for 'drug pushers' or 'robbers" or 'murderers' and you get my point.
How about substitute "boi-racers" for harley owners? Because it seems a lot of people think they are all a bunch of tossers.
I'm sure there not, but I am equally certain that a lot of these so called "boi-racers" aren't either.
Just because YOU think they are means nothing. Just like some people think cops are all zealous fags, doesnt mean they are.
And before you go on about you being in a majority, stop and think. Why are there all these laws against them? Because people complain. But the thing is those that arent bothered, or even a lot of those that enjoy their company don't care enough to say so. It's like the ACC protest, most of the country is indifferent because it doesnt affect them, and some want us to pay the extra fees.
You are now one of those dickwads who wants people to suffer simple because it doesnt fit your way of thinking. And dont bring up people hurt/killed by "boi-racers". NO "boi-racer" supports the people who hurt/killed the innocent bystanders. And in fact MOST "boi-racers" despise any activity which could be dangerous enough to cause death and destruction. They are still HUMAN and they still care about others. Except for tossers like you, they wouldnt give a shit if they ran you off the road, as you dont give a shit now.

Well its nothing like the ACC protests, that was a legal protest over a change in tax. The anti boi racer movement and the changes in the laws is being driven because the public are fed up with illegal street racing and all the damage and noise that goes with it.
If you have a race car and use it on the race track, or if you have a custom car and enjoy driving around in it there is no problems. It's when the mix of drugs, dumb kids, and POS "race" cars being raced on the road. By POS I mean unsafe illegally modified street cars.
Then the dumb ass kids say something like "we are being treated like Jews", well I don't see any extermination camps being built do you?

Well you wouldn't be saying that if a member of your family turned in front of a couple of boi racers that were drag racing. What did the boi racer get 14 years was it?
You also need to grow a pair. Come back in a few years when your voice drops.

So you've finally clarified that your not against so called "boi-racers" but rather against the illegal and dangerouus ones. Well the whole fuckin point of this thread is about how this unfairly targets those that are both safe and legal. The ones breaking the law, hurting people and crashing, driving illegal POS "race" cars are already doing something illegal!
Now I'm doing something illegal if i go round the block twice? See the point now? Or still too busy raging against the same people i also think are spineless losers?

Hang on, I hate boi racers......but don't think bikes are clean.
When we start drinking and using drugs in public.
- You mean a group ride?
When we start pouring oil on the road so our POS bikes can do burnouts.
- Well we don't do that yet - seems we are better lowsiding it to get the oil out.
When we start cruising around looking for trouble at nights.
- Group ride part 2
When we start illegally modifying our bikes so they are not safe to use on the road.
- So you ride an OEM harley? standard pipes?
When we start using the public roads like our own private race track.
- Group ride part 4
When we start gathering together in our hundreds on the side of the road and shoot guns and throw bottles at the police.
- Group ride with the Mob/Few/Highway
When we are all easy to identify because we all ride the same sorts of POS bikes and wear our helmets backwards.
- German helmets, fluro helmets, Harleys, Triumphs, K1-9's, Fireblades.....
When we start to kill and injure other innocent road users.
- We are pretty new to this however if the US is a good indication, more bikers we get - we will have this sorted in the next 20 years.
Well there will be a few new laws made and the cops will be able to take our scooters and arrest us for being well a dumb ass.
How about now - you scared?
Group ride part 3 is "owning the road" - giving abuse to other road users rather than moving on, sneaking up on people while filtering, assuming we can park anywhere....

So if you have a custom car and you are not racing on the road, then you are not a boi racer. You are a boi some thing else like say classic or custom vehicle collector. Is it that OK?
If you cruise around at night (2200 to 0500), looking for trouble, in a convoy, in a noisy vehicle then you are probably a boi racer. If it looks like a turd, and smells like a turd well its probably a turd.
If you are a boi ccc (custom car collector) and you cruise around at night, in a convoy, in a noisy vehicle then you are probably a turd.
I can see why you could find this confusing.

Define the term 'racing'. If I'm driving home from work in a 'boy racer' type vehicle on a Friday night after 10 and there just happens to be traffic around me, then am I in a convoy?

Noisy Harleys ain't new niether.
But they don't do lap after lap after lap with annoying boom-boxes, leaving litter etc
Mainly 'cos they ain't 'bois' .
For the very young 'somebodys' benefit: I wasn't talking about gang members when I mentioned the above. (dunno where you got the idea it WAS)
And I doubt even if it WAS gang members I was talking about that their cigarette butts they apparently leave everywhere would compare with the KFC boxes, Maccas wrappers and the dozens of 'V' bottles and cans boi racers seem to leave/throw around the neighbourhood.countryside.

The police know who they really want targeted with this law. As far as gangs go, the organised groups of anti-social road users are pretty close. The groups are all in contact, have lookouts for racing, scanners etc etc. The police and councils, informed by police and their own observations know these groups cause the very problems they are trying to stop.
Its not there to take away everyones rights to drive or ride about, but to target specific troublemakers who do cruise in large groups and block up roads, do their thing and leave a mess behind for the rest of us.

People on foot litter just as much as people in cars. I don't understand how attempting to ban 'cruising' will reduce the litter problem.

I honestly can't see the point of running a stereo to the point of ear-damaging noise when driving along the road. If that's what you really want to achieve just wear headphones.
But of course we all know it's actually nothing to do with that. It's really just attention seeking "Looka moi, looka moi, LOOKA MOI!"
Agreed..... and we do look at them and say "what a loser"!!

Somehow, your atavar picture seems extraordinary appropriate.
I cannot but forbear, however, to draw your attention to the fact that your bigoted harangue ignores the fact that
a) the law specifies nothing about "boi-racers". or any sort of "racers'
b) the law specifies nothing about he vehicles being "illegal"
c) the law specifies nothing about the vehicles being a "POS"
d) by no means are the vehicles you denigrate as "boi-racers" of a standard that a rational person would denote as "POS" (I realise that you do not fit into the "rational person" category)
e) The law mentions nothing about racing (which is already adequately covered in other legislation)
f) There is no reason to suppose that the drivers have "stolen" anything
g) if they were indeed driving their parents vehicles (BMW or SUV) it is most unlikley that the vehicle would be either illegal or a "POS". Your rant is as illogical as it is bigoted.
h) Fortunately "what you want" , being both unjust and idiotic, is unlikely to be given effect to in any jurisdiction outside that of the Reich indicated by your choice of avatar.

The by-law apart from being dodgy looks like it will use video surveillance as a means of enforcement. They should have used the term 'without legitimate purpose' as in to drive in these streets at night without legitimate purpose.

Just a quick read to catch up, so our conclusions thus far are:
- Boi racers eat too much maccas
- If you are caught crusing, your car wont be crushed - but racing it will.
- FTP, means fuck the pigs.........which sounds like a banjo song.
- Flip is happy to admit he is a boi racer rather than see the flaw in the law?
Fact of the matter, there are already laws that stop people being assholes. Why do we need another?
