When were you last in Tekapo? Do you have a fondness for pine ?

Boy needs a faster bike.

Cop probably did save both of their lives. So they is lucky.:Punk::Punk:

[Str8 Jacket]

He should've had knobblies on

Knobblies would of been fun at 190 clicks on an icy road.:sweatdrop:Punk::Punk:

He may not have been stuck in the mud either!

[The Reibz]

Must have been on a Harley = slow cunt... Riding with a male pillion = faggot...

But then again its Fairlie...

People don't try very hard any more.

Did you just ask if he was sporting wood?

One thing that become clearer about ACC and the NZ system the further you get away from it - is what a brilliant piece of social engineering it is.

Effective Socialism in a Capitalist machine.

[pritch]

The army used to conduct jungle warefare training at Tekapo - in ice and snow during winter. This before the guys went to Malaya and Vietnam.
It's thought that the troops were being taught how to avoid getting frostbite.

The training must have been effective though, because nobody got frostbite in Malaya or Vietnam. :whistle:

[unstuck]

Not much fucking jungle in tekapo either.:crazy:

[scumdog]

Gee, which KBer was that eh?

Fairly near Fairlie apparently...

(In Stuff today)

[SMOKEU]

It wasn't me officer.

[Swoop]

Why so slow?

[Smifffy]

Did he wave?

[superjackal]

Why so slow?

I wondered about that. 192's quick but not eyebrow raising. He should have given him the big thumbs up.:2thumbsup

Perhaps if we can encourage more people to speed they might increase our pathetic speed limit.

[Big Dave]

You'd have to be nuts to give it the biz around Fairleigh.

There were 4 cop cars (3 HP) trading donuts beside the road on the Eastern approach last time I went through.

[HenryDorsetCase]

top of third. three more to go. :)

[nudemetalz]

I heard that the bike was a postie CT110.

[EJK]

Who is up for a challenge beating that record?

[Old Steve]

Must have been on a Harley = slow cunt... Riding with a male pillion = faggot...

C'mon Reibz, make your mind up. Was he riding a Harley or was he riding a Honda?

[mashman]

My speedo doesn't register between 190 - 200kmh so it wasn't me.

[Tigadee]

Bloody scooterists with their NOS! :mad:

Must be an old bike. :yawn:

Well that settles it, I am going to get my licence so I can go faster.:scooter:

If I got clocked doing near 200, I'd just keep going, I sure as hell wouldn't stop and try hide

lol, the cop found him trying to hide in a pine plantation.

I doubt the last part of the story, where the cop claims the rider told him he saved his life, maybe the pillion might have said that, you'd think if the rider thought it was unsafe he'd just slow down.

[Banditbandit]

Well that settles it, I am going to get my licence so I can go faster.:scooter:

I thought it probably was you - heading back to Gore ..

[unstuck]

Shit no I would of been going through the middle up the gravel towards the danseys pass.:shifty: Thats if I was to ride on the road without a licence of course.:oi-grr:

Cops grab a few dingalings without effort due to the preponderance of 'idjict factor' in the people they deal with...

Back in the early 70's, Leo Tooman told me, " I dont have to go out of my way, to catch any particular idiot. Dumbness just happens all the time"

[The Reibz]

C'mon Reibz, make your mind up. Was he riding a Harley or was he riding a Honda?

Hahaha, well played chap, well played

[carburator]

well, would be top of third gear, three to go.....

Can you claim ACC for getting a speeding ticket now?

Sweet. Where do I sign?

[Kickaha]

What a Dick!

Did he crash? did he claim ACC?

[James Deuce]

He was going too slow to crash. ACC is a moot point. I spelled "moot" correctly. Most of you motherfuckers can't.

[Big Dave]

Maybe that's what Nodrog keeps asking me. 'Wanna Moot'.

[James Deuce]

That, DEFINITELY explains it.

[Drew]

Haters gonna hate.

Dude got done speeding, who gives a fuck?

Imagine what could be achieved with a bit of effort then... Not knocking the Blue Brigade but I sometimes struggle to understand how they don't catch shit loads of people (predominantly retarded boy racers) ... I can think of multiple urban areas that need addressing but you'd swear the feds aren't interested. Either that or they are buried under a pile of bureaucratic paperwork regarding the latest Muppet that will get another slap on the wrist....

[MIXONE]

A few k's the other side of Tekapo and he would have been safe as doing those speeds.
I know because um...







PS.Fairlie has the best bakery in NZ.

[sugilite]

I doubt the last part of the story, where the cop claims the rider told him he saved his life, maybe the pillion might have said that, you'd think if the rider thought it was unsafe he'd just slow down.

My interpretation of that was the rider was being sarcastic. I'm sure the cop would of been aware of that and would be having a good old chortle at the riders expense to see it being quoted in print as being a serious statement. lol

[Wayz]

Blue and red disco lights.....ruining good times since aaaages ago!

[AllanB]

192 at night on that bit of road (no street lights I'm sure) would be fast enough! Dumb shit for stopping

[jellywrestler]

Gee, which KBer was that eh?

is a fair alibi to use the fact you're posting on KB at the same time to say you're not there?
after all KB is pretty well perfect and couldn't be questioned!

[nodrog]

...... who gives a fuck?

Monk fish does.

[Kickaha]

Dude got done speeding, who gives a fuck?
Makes me want to go out and do 193kmh just to go 1 better

[Katman]

Makes me want to go out and do 193kmh just to go 1 better

And risk destroying another motor?

[igor]

Makes me want to go out and do 193kmh just to go 1 better



with what's in ya riding list the only way ya gunna reach that speed is by being dropped out of a plane and there is no speed limit enforcement for that

[SMOKEU]

I wonder what the NZ record is for a speeding infringement.

When I lived in Twizel there was, for a short time, a twin turbo Subaru living at the Tekapo Police Station for just this scenario. I think it blew up though.

there was a time where a Mitsubishi starion with a turbo conversion unmarked
car was used by the Auckland traffic division... and that used to haul ass..

Indeed there was. A friend of mine was travelling to Q-Town and was humming along in his car sitting around the ton and he was amazed at the relatively short period of time the Cops Legacy reeled him in from behind. He had no idea it was the feds at the time as it was late one night... Ching ching.... Oh well... He could afford it..

Yup, it's called the ground, a very effective speed limiter enforcer... ;)

I doubt that. I'd say the record books have far higher achievers. Mr Plod H.Q. just doesn't like to talk about it.

Tekapo at night in a frost condition, I'd say 192kpm is stupid risk taking, and add a pillion and he deserves being caught. Riders have no right endangering the helpless sods on the rear seat. At least in a car the passenger can change the radio station.

But on a fine day. Tekapo. Long straights with good visibility. A powerful bike. 192 is just taking it above idle.

I think the poster you quoted was putting his record up. Agree with the rest of your post.:2thumbsup

[Kickaha]

Even bikes like a squarecase 750SS and mid nineties 750SS which aren't powerful bikes will indicate quite a bit more than that along those straights if someone did decide to crank them up coming back from a Ducati club run at Ohau ;)

What a silly, silly man they would be.

Everyone knows Ducatis are only for display.

My work car a few years ago was a turbo 200ZX, dark red from memory and nobody gave it a second glance, man it was fun but the boss was always making threats about what would happen if I wrecked it, as-if!

What did they convert the turbo to?

[Gremlin]

Do try to keep up... they converted it to a cop car.

[unstuck]

I think the only difference with the one they used on the motorway in auckland was the turbo was bigger from memory, they went well with the standard 11a or 12a turbos.:yes:

[nodrog]

....or 12a turbos.:yes:

Once, in another dimesion, I drove the delivery truck for the Mazda dealer who supplied Phil Alexander Rotisserie Engines.
They use to drop hot 11a's into Suzuki Swifts and Bongo Vans as well as build Moffat's race engines. Wouldn't have minded an old Bongo with 200 ponies - that would have been a giggle.

That would of been a giggle. They are just a ford spectron with a mazda badge are they not. Had a 4x4 bongo which was good off road but crap motor, forever breaking down. Got rolled in the end.:pinch:
