think this an older vid, the one I was told about is only a few weeks old, thanks EJK

[breakaway]

What kind of a piss poor video is that. Not even a single wheelie.

[EJK]

See his other vids.

Busa got a four clock set up.Looks like gsxr600 instruments.Just another nail in the ACC coffin.
I have a cam too but it only goes on the race bike because advertising bad behaviour on the road is :nono:

Wasn't me Chris! Top speeds are academic anyway. And EJK there are many straights here where you could achieve that speed.

[JMemonic]

Hmm I see a bloke I knows rig there and I know he's not long started taking it home so its recent, I also can tell its midweek.

Initially I thought it was him too but I don't think any of his vid's showed that sort of speed, and checking his youtube account there are no recent vid's. There was also another rider down here on a 1000 who thought he was fast because he could pass people in a straight line...

[MVnut]

N.B. I put 'idiot' in the title OAB so that excludes you anyway lol.....and No I don't believe Munter is the culprit.....I just think it's plain stupid to post anything like this '290 km/h' clip on Youtube, gives the cops more ammo......(and no I'm not professing to be a fuckin' saint on the mountain):angry2:

[imdying]

gives the cops more ammoThey have collected more than that over the years, their own observations, chatting with motorcyclists, video footage, complaints from residents etc. You've contributed to that happily in the past, what makes you start such a hypocritical thread now man?

So you're suggesting I have given the cops plenty of ammo in the past??? WTF???

[imdying]

No, you've never sped on that particular portion of her Majesty's highways, and even if you had, I'd nawt out you on here anyway!

Having said that, the amount of sportsbike riders in Christchurch that haven't raped that poor piece of road must be pretty slim in number... if it ends up as an over policed 80km/hr, we'll all be to blame.

Yeah I agree with that, all I'm saying is it's pretty dumb to post it on youtube, apparently it was a topic for conversation over at Greymouth St races ....if you (whoever it was) wanna do a vid that's cool, just show ya mates, not the world

[imdying]

Given that they've successfully tracked down more than one moron who's posted himself doing something dumb, I'd be pretty damn wary of doing it myself.

Maybe sportsbike riders should pay more ACC than cruisers :laugh:

[MVnut]

Thanks DMNTD, I'll look that up........ps this thread should probably be in Rant & Rave so feel free to move it ...mybad

[onearmedbandit]

It's bike related so it is fine here Chris. Now if you don't mind pm me the link or preferably a search tag.

[FROSTY]

Forgive me for being cynical here. Gixxer speedo's drive from the gearbox now dont they?
So if "a person: had fitted stunt gearing wouldn't that make the speedo reading hugely high?

Cruisers can have more road wear levi then, since they weigh heaps.

Regardless a standard model will *show* 299 on factory gearing, and they have been clocked at up to 185mph. Anyway top speed is for bar room bullshit factor only really.

But so is... "I went round a corner 'this fast', look at my lack of chicken strips"

[avgas]

Here is hoping that he got that Haemorrhoid cream at that truck stop. Poor guy looked like he was in a hurry for it - must have been hurting on that hard sports seat

[onearmedbandit]

But so is... "I went round a corner 'this fast', look at my lack of chicken strips"

Exactly. It's in the same vein as 'I have never had a crash so I'm a good rider'. Or the 'my [insert cheaper obviously slower bike in here]' can keep up with my mates [insert expensive faster bike in here] through the twisties'.

[jrandom]

look at my lack of chicken strips

:lol:

You're still sore about that, aren't you?

Awww, c'mere.

:hug:

[rebel]

Good cunt.

[AllanB]

I noticed a new billboard out that way today.

Picture of a yellow bike cruising along with the text:

"Enjoy the Ride, Not the Race"


It will be a shitter if they reduce that road to 80kms. If they do it will not be due to the motorcycles - it will be the increasing volumes of car traffic heading there each weekend.

PS - I still have small chicken strips on my rear tyre - is there a cream I can get to remove them?

[jrandom]

Honey mustard dipping sauce is good.

[SVboy]

If they reduced the speed to 80kms, would that really change much? For people who travel 40kms plus over the limit, the result of being caught will still be the same. Perhaps policing would increase for a while, but extra police resourcing on a targeted area is finite. Not that I am advocating this speed limit however, nor am I advocating silly utube posts. However, we mostly have to be a bit careful not to be hypocritical when condemning others for speeding on the Akkers GP. There may be some riding angels out there, but sadly I dont qualify!

[onearmedbandit]

Nor do I! But I try to keep it within reason.
