wanker on a cbr

[crshbndct]

so i am driving my wife and myself to go look at a house to buy on saturday arvo. it was a beautiful day and perfect for riding. pull up to the traffic lights. red light so i stop. some prat obviously a learner, comes rolling through between 2 lanes on a cbr250rr. it had a spraycan-with-no-masking paintjob, ovespray all over the screen, seat, cracked as hell fairing etc. this thing was noisy as fuck. imagine a harley with open pipes at 5krpm that was this one filtering the traffic. he has a look, takes off through a red light, and heads on up the road. (jeans and a t-shirt BTW). so i think, well gee, the redlight was a bit of crap, and the bike doesnt look to hot but oh well.

we pass him stopped at a gas station about 2 minutes later, still heading home. about 5 minutes later he passes us, i am guessing 130-150km-h(and i am not overexaggerating here) in a built up, very busy (with kids and what not) 50kmh zone. bloody arsehole.

i was about to ring *555, becasue, despite the respect and extreme courtesy i always show bikers (i moved over when i saw him coming up behind me in the queue at the lights to let him through easier) this guy was going to kill himself and probably hurt someone else.

he also had bald tyres i noticed it as he rode past me at the light.

people like this give all bikers a bad name.

[ManDownUnder]

*555 every time. A cock is a cock - bike or not... and they still pose a danger to themselves and (more importantly) others...

[Smorg]

What a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Na joking anyone who rides that fast in a populated 50k zone derserves anything he gets before he kills someones child or small much loved family pet :hitcher:

[CBRacer]

People like that have probably JUST got their bike. and have yet to learn how to keep it under 50kph..

its easier said than done. but when you first get your bike you feel totally oblivious to police and yourself. so you go crazy on the road.

if you see them in 6 months time after getting their restricted, they'l probably be a bit calmer.

im not sure whether that accounts for anything. but even when i got my SV, i found it really hard not to thrash it at every set of traffic lights...

ringing *555 may be a bit harsh. but it'd teach him a lesson

[vifferman]

I kind of feel the same about the two guys who passed us near Clevedon on Saturday (an R1 and I think a ZX10). They were obviously good riders, but they were going just slightly slower than a bazillion km/h, and just ahead of us were several groups of cyclists with pursuit vehicles. There's no way you could call the way they were riding 'safe'.

[dawnrazor]

not to be harsh, but if he keeps going on like that for very much longer we'll read about it in the papers before long, the only problem is he might bring someone else down with him, i was going to say i hope the cops catch up with him first - ah well you never know right.

[Velox]

Sounds like Mikey went home via Whangarei yesterday.

To be blunt I don't care.. if they ca't keep it under 50kph (or 65 for that matter) they don't have a snow balls chance in hell of controlling it at much higher speeds...

If they're in a built up zone - they're a gone burger. I don't care if it's Rossi himself -I'll ring the cops - coz that's just dumb

MDU
PS - Rossi wouldn't do those speeds in that area anyway... he's too good... and KNOWS the dangers involved.

[Velox]

Whoops - sorry Mikey - didn't mean the "wanker on a cbr" bit, just the description of the bike!

[HDTboy]

Before anyone says that sounds like my bike, I was up there on sunday not saturday, and kept to 50 in the residential area (took some self control)

PS. Saturday was awesome for riding, I went to Rotorua the scenic way

[Sniper]

Sounds like a tosser. Cant be me, my bike is MINT

[Damon]

Whangarei seems to be good at producing these idiots, didn't some twat kill him self and some poor girl running from the cops a while ago?

Call *555, a couple of guys on R1's doing 150 on the open road is one thing, they obviously have the money and hopfully the experience to be reasonably safe rather than some young fool on a broke ass 250 doing 3 times the speed limit, you dont want this guy racing past your kids schools and playgrounds.

[XP@]

One word "Darwin"

is your bike black and quite loud?

[Big Dave]

people like this give all bikers a bad name.

People like him give human beings a bad name.
Aggressive, snarling, spitting, tattooed, loud piped, leathered up mofo's on the road give motorcyclists a bad name.:whistle:
Bikers already have a bad name - and revell in it. :Punk:

[**R1**]

Yeah sound dumb,

but im guessing he wasnt all that old either?? and none of you have ever done anything stupid aye??

[ManDownUnder]

Yeah sound dumb,

but im guessing he wasnt all that old either?? and none of you have ever done anything stupid aye??

nothing THAT dumb - but thanks for asking

[Lou Girardin]

Yeah sound dumb,

but im guessing he wasnt all that old either?? and none of you have ever done anything stupid aye??

I have. But I'm older now and insisting on my right to criticise anyone younger.

[Big Dave]

It's voided when you don't learn from the mistakes.

[stunz]

I did the *555 thing a couple of months ago over a car that deliberately ran me off the road cos I had the nerve to get in front of him at the narrow end of a two-lane. Flipped him the bird fifteen minutes later as he was stuck in the gridlock. (I was gonna kick his panels in on the way past, but...hey! I'm a good guy!) Nothing came out of it in the end. I guess they just sent a letter saying they had a complaint from another motorist.

In this case however, complaint is an understatement. The goober on the CBR sounds like he is not insured or even warranted and any mess he makes is gonna cost someone else in the end, so I would actually bypass *555 and call the lads in blue on 111 for any extreme speeds like that. Especially in a built-up with kids running amok. It certainly warrants an emergency in my opinion, cos at that rate, there soon will be one.

[Biff]

*555 every time. A cock is a cock - bike or not... and they still pose a danger to themselves and (more importantly) others...

What the man said.
Wotacock.

[madboy]

I'm impressed to see that my fellow Kiwibikers believe that not only did they never do something dumb when they were young (at least Lou recognises the hypocrisy), but that the Police nicking this fella will actually have a positive effect.

Fellas, I for one put my hand up and say I've done dumber things than that in the past. And when someone called the pigs (cos that's what they are to people like that), what did I do? I wasted a truckload of police time, making sure they got all their paperwork right, giving them the runaround, and sometimes they had enough to ping me, sometimes they didn't. Every time I plead poverty, and paid it off at less than f*** all each week. And of the 27 months I've spent disqualified in my life, you take an educated guess at exactly how many days I didn't drive for... And when they stop you and you're disq, two things happen - either you stop and give your mates details (cos your car is always registered to a person of the opposite sex who you claim rightly or wrongly to be your g/f or b/f and you've left your wallet in your car), or if you're doing something that will get you a ticket you do a runner. And runners are dangerous. Trust me. I've never crashed yet, but getting air at 250k over a rise cos you were so intent on going abso-farking-lutely flat out rather than just merely speeding, is NOT my idea of fun.

So aside from making you feel like you've made a contribution to road safety, can someone please explain how dialling *555 will have any effect? My opinion is that next time he'll just make sure he has the plate removed.

[HDTboy]

is your bike black and quite loud?
Yes, and yes. BUT I made sure I stuck to the speed limit in Whangarei (I know how hard the cops are) AND I didn't stop to fill the bike, AND I very rarely run red lights, AND I wear a jacket

[HDTboy]

How many headlights did he have?

[Indoo]

I'm impressed to see that my fellow Kiwibikers believe that not only did they never do something dumb when they were young (at least Lou recognises the hypocrisy), but that the Police nicking this fella will actually have a positive effect..

Maybe the kid won't be as pig shit stupid as you, and a cop having a word to him might prevent him from winding up in a ditch or worse killing someone else. Not everybody is a worthless leech on society with no respect for the lives of others like you appear to be.

[crshbndct]

Yes, and yes. BUT I made sure I stuck to the speed limit in Whangarei (I know how hard the cops are) AND I didn't stop to fill the bike, AND I very rarely run red lights, AND I wear a jacket

no i was going to say i saw you on sunday, driving on western hills drive you passed me.
your bike sounded nice

i have been driving for 7 years.
my 3 most powerful cars had over 1080hp between them, all capable of getting to over 200kmh real quick.

i have no speeding fines, no disqualifications, DUIs, 2 Accidents, once when a rear tie-rod failed, and once when i had a blowout on a front tire at 100km/h. both times there were no other parties involved, an no charges pressed.

[crshbndct]

i called *555 once on a woman who i was later told had 3 young children in the back of the car, was 2x over the alcohol limit, and was disqualified for drink driving. i was asked to court to identify her, which i was able to do because had been sitting next to her at a set of lights, and i happened to look over at her.

[Warren]

It cant be me, for starters i'm not a wanker.

[inlinefour]

I'll keep an eye out for this turkey.

[Lou Girardin]

Rubbish! It's a God given right. :motu:

[HDTboy]

Oh, well that's ok then, Thanks. You're not the first to say that, you should hear it in anger, it sounds much better

[madboy]

Maybe the kid won't be as pig shit stupid as you, and a cop having a word to him might prevent him from winding up in a ditch or worse killing someone else. Not everybody is a worthless leech on society with no respect for the lives of others like you appear to be.And your right to stand on the pulpit is cemented by what?

[crshbndct]

Oh, well that's ok then, Thanks. You're not the first to say that, you should hear it in anger, it sounds much better


i actually thought it sounded nicest kind of growling, mid revs, you had not opened it up fully, but it hinted at more.

[madboy]

Am I to read a tone of defensiveness in this posting? Hey, I'm saying the guy on the bike was a dick, but we've probably all done stupid things at one point or another. Some of us just admit that we have, learn from the experience and move on. And at this point in his life, that particular dick probably wouldn't give a toss about *555. I didn't when I was doing that shit.

Reading the above I could say that you're an inexperienced driver (only 7 years) with powerful vehicles (1080 / 3 = still fast), you drive them fast (else how do you know how well they get to 200kmh), and you don't maintain them well (tie-rod, tyre).

Who knows, you might drive 50,000k a year, drag race on the weekends and it was your first $200 shitter (that most of us have all had too) that spat the tie-rod, and the tyre was an object on the road surface.

[Coyote]

I just burn people off at the lights, nothing more :shifty:

If you want to go fast with little or no respect for your own life, start racing. Save the speeding for the track

[*sic]

hmm i saw a couple of riders BLAZE past me and a mate who were riding out to raglan on saturday.. damn near killed themselves on the next bend as one of them tracked right over the other side of the road...

it will all end in tears eventually.

stay safe, ride long.

[DingDong]

I like fast... but not all the time, maybe you caught this guy when he was in one of those moods... we shouldnt judge too quickly.
3 times the limit in a 50k zone and your a wanker, 3 times the limit on the open road... so is ghostrider a wanker too?

Its not something Id do every day but dont count me out...

Hey mikey, that wasnt you was it? can your bile go that fast?

Only if it is projectile vomitting . . .

i know my cars will get to 200kmh wuickly, becasue the dragstrip and racing circuit have told me this.

this year i have done 28,000km since january
the first one (tie rod) was the fault of an alignment shop who didnt correctly align the rear wheels, leading to extra stress being placed on the(very weak) tie-rod, leading to a breakage.

the tire was entirely my fault i didnt see a pot hole and hit it, damaging the rim, which in turn deflated the tire and pulled me into a wall.

but i digress

i was merely venting my frustration at this prick that was really acting like a complete knob.


in other news, daffodils grow sprightly in the springtime

[**R1**]

It amazes me how much you all care about others safety.....I honestly couldn't give a shit if I saw someone acting a wanker and was likely to hurt himself...if he was likely to hurt my kids I would knock the fucker out!! not run away and tell tails to the piggers, I go out and do silly stunts from time to time, and if someone has issues with it I have no objections to them coming over and telling me so.

How do you know this guy on the CBR isn't heading down your street where your kids are playing right now? For all you know he could be, or on his way there.
Doing something about his dangerous rideing now may save someone elses life later on.

[*sic]

so is ghostrider a wanker too?

an exception to the rule..

Or we could get on with our lives.....dont get me wrong i know what ya saying, But i dont see how calling the coppers or posting a pointless thread on here will help.....
the cops if your lucky may send a caby to tell him to slow down, it just seems you are all abit worried about what MIGHT happen, and your right he could blast down my street and hit one of my kids right now, but thats my problem to sort out, and in the big scheem of things who else would give a toss? its like every weekend ya here in the news about this crash and that murder but i honestly dont care and i would be telling lies if i said i did.. its a case if it aint me i dont care, if we did we would all be PIGS, or im starting to think some of you are just wana be coppers..

Life is all a series of decisions that have consequences... I decided not to buy a house on a street that could be used as a drag strip so my daughter doesn't have to suffer the fate of being run over by a young chap who hasn't yet realised the potential consequences of his actions... instead she'll get run over by the poorly maintained overloaded people movers driven by blind inattentive unlicensed twats that frequent my neighbourhood. But at least they'll be doing under 50k, so according to LTNZ she'll be fine.

[Waylander]

So, "fuck everyone else I'm only worried about myself"? Isn't that the same attitude that everyone jumps on a "merkin's" back for?

Don't want to call the cops? Fine, dont call them. But be sure to do something to show the person the error of thier ways. Had a guy a few weeks back turn down the wrong side of the centre barrier on the corner up the road fro my house nearly taking me out. Rather than say "oh I survived I wont worry about it anymore" I got very pissed off for two reasons. The first and most important is that there are several little kids living on my street. If this guy is gonna drive like that in my neighborhood he is very likely to kill one of them one day. The second reason was I spent almost 6 months with a broken bike and had only just gotten it back together again. I followed the guy for about an hour and ended up breaking off his wing mirror and his driver side window.

Not exactly a safe/wise thing to do but you can bet your ass he doesn't drive crazy in my area anymore. He took a shortcut to save himself three seconds and I made him spend an hour driving around trying to lose me and costed him whatever it is for a new mirror and window. That's one less idiotic driver I have to worry about on my roads.

At the end of the day if its blasting off down the highway at warp factor 9 and being to young or stupid to not know any beter, or being tired after a long day at work and forgeting to indicate a turn, we are all only human and make mistakes...I used to love KB but all its become in the past few months is a im better than everone else on the roads bash sesion for all the COCKS who seem to have never made a mistake.....fkn live a little people...

Lol would have but I neglected to take it with me that day...

Anyway, ofcourse I've made mistakes. Broke my arm and was off the bike for 2 months because of one. Everyone makes mistakes that's only human. But it is not a mistake to speed or drive like an idiot. It's a choice. A made decision to do something stupid. I'm no better than anyone else and I make bad choices too. That wasn't what I was talking about though, I'm not claiing to be better than anyone else. My point was if you don't do anything then you are only making things worse.

[speights_bud]

My last experience with *555 wasn't so succesful. Some guy cuts me off with no tail lights or headlights (only parkers were on) and calling *555 then following him on police instruction for 10 minutes being assured that 'there is a officer at the taupo turn off'. another cop vehicle pulls out behind me and does absolutly nothing, (despite me telling the operator so) and i'mstill following this guy. Then the car supposidly waiting for us comes flying past pretty damn fast, lights on,then brakes heavily into a U-turn. The bloke i'm following turns off about a k up the road then heads down a smaller road. At this point i am tols that the cop car following us was ' heading out to another incident'.
So ok the guy got away to private property but did the operator have to bullshit me? woulda been better to be honest about it.

But on the other side the local cop a pretty good bloke

[Indoo]

Did you read the first post? Hes talking about some knob on an absolute crapper of a bike wearing jeans a teashirt going straight though a red light then doing 150kmh or so in a 50kmh zone full of kids and other people.

Thats not blatting it on an open highway or forgetting to indicate, thats someone with a death wish whose either gonna kill himself or someone else.
