Friday Night Rants?

Was a 'laugh' until the idiot rammed the car alongside and took off like a rocket. (well as fast as a Honda people mover could go!)

And tried keeping speed up after spikes punctured three of his tyres.:pinch::facepalm:

How many days of summer have we had?

Already sick of people moaning about it being too hot, the same cunts who moan all winter about it being too cold.

It's called weather people, just live with it and dress to suit, then hopefully the dickheads on tv will stop going on and on about it as well.

Fuggup, I was at Hanmer on Thursday and sitting at the roadworks with the thermometer showing 90F+ it certainly DID feel too hot.
So there!:lol:

[AllanB]

Outdoor air tep guage on the Ducati was showing 29 on the road at 10.30 this morning.

Which can dicely move me to a semi-rant. So there is a space in the system for a electrinic reading of something and Ducati pick outside air temp on a motorcycle. Now it may be different in Italy but in NZ when I am riding I can tell if it is hot or cold outside .....

Maybe a gear indicator or oil pressure reading or a second trip meter (was handy on previous bike) would have been more useful.

True - and yes, we got a day and a bit of light rain. What is impressive looking at this fire is how quickly they were onto it. 3 houses should have been burned - all in the direct line and very close to start point.
Gardens around them burned - hedge lines alongside burned. They must have choppers on standby now cos they must have got there bloody quick.

It's looking like the new amalgamated command structure might work. Anything's better than when it was in SDC control out here. We saw trucks out from ChCh which is a first. Tankers from all over the district too.

At least at your place Neil, you know the fires will generally stop at a hilltop or ridgeline. One starting here, in a norwester, could easily finish up in ChCh...

As far as "protecting us" mileage may vary on that statement, just like the soldiers off rampaging around another country for their resources; that's not "protection" that's terrorism

139 Police offices.
That's a shit load of buildings, would have thought it might warrant a mention in the local paper.

FUCKING TRADEME...

where do they get off on setting themselves up on a high moral ground were you can't sell a certain breed and dog training collars with static shock... if its not fucking illegal what right do they have to make that call... whats bloody next no bike sales cos they are "dangerous"...

Im trying to get another k9 training collar for my dobbie... ya need a shock/vibrate/sound collar but they have banned shock... thing is ya only need to use the shock once when used correctly cos after the tone ya vibrate, after that ya shock, next time ya get to vibrate and they know whats next so they behave, then ya only need to use the tone...

now tardme ban certain dog breeds... I was thinking dangerous dogs... but NO dogs with breathing issues like the pug, the french bull dog... fuck me fucking dead... what about a king charles spaniel and there seizures... were does this fucking end, come on tardme have no right to say what you can and cant sell unless its illegal...

[Kickaha]

Correct of course - but where they get their advice from can be called into question.

We've been small animal breeders for years. Done it right and stood behind what we've sold.
Now, jumping through the hoops and hurdles tardme has put up means that we simply advertise elsewhere.

The reputable breeders are leaving - which means that what is left are people who disappear at the first hint of trouble with the animal.

As far as D's collar goes, I've met the dog in question. No abuse inflicted, very well socialised dog. Hyperactive though.
Which actually makes me wonder if the collar's for one of D's boys....Nah, mum'd never let him.

I did a bit of digging for ya Dangermouse
Those police were not your traditional West Coast local.
They were the TAG. A nelson based unit the "Tacticial Alcohol Group."
They were actually patting themselves on the back in the local rag saying "it was an opportunity to get the positive message out their around driving"
It seems that the tact bit in tactical was a bit lost in translation.
If you really want to voice your displeasure around how you were arrogantly treated voice your concerns to the West Coast prevention manager Snr Sarg Paul Watson.

yeah mate... costers are a good bunch as are most if not all coppers I know... I asumed that the dick I spoke to was not a local figered a chch cop as everyone here has a issue with life...

thing is are they not beter off assisting and helping, promoting responsibility... GET tested before riding, lets face it we all think we are good to go the next morning but in fact some are not tho they feel 100% so we need the help the remind that we are not always ok the next morning... but no its like entrapment a mare 15m up the road ya pulled and tested.. I knew I was fine i dont drink much prefer to enjoy the ride... but with the new 'fine ya' if a little tiddly bulshit... fuck ya either drunk or not there is no inbetween... yip they just want ya money... fuck em

Yes.

If they are interested in road safety, they'd be happy to check that people were not intoxicated before operating a motor vehicle on a public road, as they have at the same rally previously.

Over the years at different rallies it has varied between testing before you go to parking the booze bus a few hundred metres up the road and you take your chances. One is positive policing, the other is definitely negative and doesn't help public perception.

If the police can make themselves available for traffic control at public events, or spend the day at the cricket or at a rugby match to deal with the pissed punters, surely a couple of hours in the morning to keep drunks off the road is not unreasonable.

As for the WOF and rego checks on the way in, that is just revenue gathering......

The police & their resources are already there, its' the difference between them stopping potentially over the limit people from entering the roadways & instead advising they go back to sleep or walk somewhere for breakfast/brunch etc or making dat cash moneys for their masters
The former is positive Safety the latter is negative $$$aftey

Motorcyclists are not special, they don't sit in the entrance of every holiday campground in NZ testing drivers leaving - and from experience a F load of drink is consumed every night in camping grounds over summer!

Take it a bit further. Cops testing patrons as they leave every establishment that serves alcohol.

Only in this case. They brought the special TAG unit down 400kms plus overnight accomidation.

A resourcing thing perhaps? Your ideas sound good. The idea of testing happening outside any venue serving alcohol is great in theory but obviously unrealistic. Think of the carnage saved. How ever, a discrete event such as a rally is realistic for testing. As D said , a friendly pre ride check before you leave the rally, good for risk mitigation and popo/ rider relations.

no.... dont be silly... just special evnts were booze licences are required...




Actually with all the global attention to vehicular safety and mandatory this and that I am surprised the EU has not passed a law that all vehicles must have a testing system that will lock the engine cold if you test over the prescribed limit.
OHHH now thats going to work well on my Itialian POS aint it...



Only in this case. They brought the special TAG unit down 400kms plus overnight accomidation.
A couple of local cops doing free screening would have been a lot cheaper. Plus just as effective.

just want to high light this quote...

[pritch]

They set themselves up outside the local racecourse as people were leaving a few weeks back . Did brisk business apparently.

[scumdog]

A resourcing thing perhaps? Your ideas sound good. The idea of testing happening outside any venue serving alcohol is great in theory but obviously unrealistic. Think of the carnage saved. How ever, a discrete event such as a rally is realistic for testing. As D said , a friendly pre ride check before you leave the rally, good for risk mitigation and popo/ rider relations.

With all the testing you would have them do you would have to get in early in the queue.
Those that gave no reading would get through fairly quickly
Those that gave an indication of alcohol would have to wait while a tube was attached to the testing device and than blow through it
And even if it came back as a pass there's still over a minute tied up in that excercise, multiply that by the number wanting to be tested in the queue and you will have a long waiting line. (The cops would have maybe six - eight devices)

How about people just taking responsibility for their drinking? And maybe buying their own tester?
It wouldn't stand up in Court as a defence if the Cop test says youre over the limit - but hey at least it would give you an indication as to how schickered you are:drinkup:

Good points well made...by a real osifer no less.

[buellbabe]

Agreed, if ya don't understand the drink driving message by now ya never will.

Oh the message has been well and truly received...WE were in bed early...no heavy drinking the night before a ride...

The point being made was the difference between this: cops who are already being paid to do a job doing it inside the rally or doing it outside the rally after people had put helmets on and and are on a road on their bikes...and therefore able to be fined.

You try and tell me; that's about positive policing or just plain old revenue gathering?

Oh and BTW... I was there... the man in blue that D spoke to had an attitude and was rude. Definitely having a bad hair day.

hang on.. ya lost me...

every single bike to ride out of the rally WAS tested... all of them... you know the rally you know there is only one way out and every bike was stoped.

a voluntary test Id say 70% may front up for a test remember not all drink at a rally.

Several rants here.

1. I have a Mobil 40c off per liter supermarket docket. I've been running the tank down to maximize my savings. I start filling up today and the pump stops at $20 - WTF - I head in and ask for help - apparently I am doing it wrong I am told. I point out I'm a couple weeks off 53 - pretty sure I can pump petrol, please check. No sir you are doing it wrong. I offer her a bet - the cost of lunch, I buy if she is right, she shouts if I am right.

At this point a angry dude walks in shouting his F-in pump has stopped. 95 by any chance I ask- yep. Turns out they have run out.

How I ask - she tells me they no longer use the 'stick' to measure tanks - it's all electronic and a e-mail goes out if it is low. But no trucks have arrived............

Fucks sake. I still have the docket.

2. Battery power drills. My batteries have died. Cost a fortune to replace sir, if we can even get those old ones :bleh: just buy a new one. So I've been on the hunt for a single drill with two batteries that does not cost $300. Sounds easy right? Apparently not - everyone has trade ones (expensive) or combo deals. I don't want two drills or a drill and another tool I already have.

Finally scored a deal at Mitre 10 today. 20v, two batteries, makes the right noises. $140. Thanks.

Had to ride through my local Mobil on Friday as they had no 95. This morning I really needed petrol and had read of the shortage so had to force myself to use Z. Was all set for an argument about not taking my helmet off but this time it never got mentioned.

What the fuck is wrong with the younger generation...

When you live in a house that belongs to someone else (a bank, mostly), paying rent is not optional depending on what other expenses you have that week.

I think I'm now officially a grumpy old cunt, as evidenced by;

a) referring to people younger than me as 'the younger generation'

b) actually being called a grumpy old cunt by ignorant young people lounging around in the way of foot traffic on new years eve

But anyway, when did paying for the place you live become something you did if you felt like it?

At the same time, and for the same reasons, that many people now live these lives / act out these 'principles' -

- I don't feel like working so I'll just collect OPM (Other People's Money) that the Guvvermin gets from them

- I don't feel like staying married or with one partner so I'll just screw around and OPM can pay to house, clothe, feed and look after the ex(es)

- I don't feel like paying for the kid(s) I fathered (or pushed out) so I'll just hit the road and OPM can house, etc. the ex(es) and kids

- I don't feel like adopting behaviours such as learning at school, learning a trade or getting a qualification, delaying marriage and having kids until I can afford them, running an old small car and living in an old, small, house in the provinces until I have earned enough to pay for more; instead I'll just blame colonialism, sexism, racism, classism and Te Patriarchy of Pallor and wait for the Guvvermin to confiscate OPM and pass it to me.

Because they can.

Drive in the car to Dunedin yesterday, back to Christchurch this evening. Two observations:

1. Audi drivers are the biggest cunts on the road. I've been forming this theory for some time and it has been verified over the past two days 700 plus kms. Cunts. No respect to anyone else on the road.

2. Passing lanes - there are many well positioned decent length, open road speed passing lanes between Christchurch and Dunedin. And many drivers happy to waver between 80-95 when nowhere near a passing lane. Hit a passing lane the fuckers decide 100 is actually fine suddenly.

What-the-actual-fuck. Some of these knobs actively tried racing 'passing' vehicles to the point the merge at the end of the passing lane became a dangerous 120 kmph battle of their wits. Back to single lanes and the fools drop back to a inconsistent 80-95 ...

Haha, this isn't scientific proof of point number 1, but it confirms your assertion. The vast majority of Drivecam activations in our trucks are for dodgy overtakes by other vehicles, such as squeezing past at end of passing lanes, overtaking dangerously etc. The common trend is the offenders are mostly driving late model European cars, with Audi indeed featuring top of the list. Maybe they hand out a knob jockey license with each Q7? A long way back in second place is the BMW X5.

Point 2 is not new, but mighty annoying all the same.

As a trucker it never ceases to amaze me that everybody wants to be in front of me, yet when we come to a slight bend in the road lots of tintop pilots feel the need to stand on the brakes for no valid reason. And no I don't tailgate <_<

Best to look for a good steady trucker and stay with him at a comfortable distance - you get better economy and their average speed will get you there just as quickly.

You will soon understand what caspernz is talking about at the end of the passing lanes!

...the fuckwits that line up behind you when you are towing a trailer at 90kph, so close that nobody behind them has the opportunity to pass, then when you get to a passing lane and button off even more so they can all go past they slow down and are still right on your arse at the merging point then do some fucking idiot type of overtake down the highway a bit further on...beats me...

instructor “you can start to apply brakes now and start to change down”
me “I have been applying the brakes”

me standing on the brakes, I mean standing with both feet, hauling on the steering wheel, sweat pouring off me, as I see cars go past 10 feet in front and I am still moving at what seems like a great rate of knots.
truck brakes locked stops bang on the stop lines perfect.

i drop back to the seat. Exhausted.

i made it, but have respect for trucks and their drivers.

The ability to shit is considered very important for some reason in hospital. Often they won't release you back into the wild until you've proved you can produce the goods.

But they take your word for it - fools.....I'd have thought given the state of ChCh sewerage systems, not being able to shit would be considered more desirable...
If it gets desperate, I'm sure a pie delivery could be arranged. Part of the problem is the small meals IMO....

Yeah, the cleaners do tend to hang around outside the ward toilets - the one sure way to drive them away is smell....work on it son.

:oi-grr: those sodding things aren't a laughing matter! I nic-named them white lighting after seeing them in action whilst in Waikato hospital; then due to my jest was on the receiving end of one during my 12 day stint there :(

You'll be surprised once everything settles down how the body compensates when it comes to feel....everything in my left hand shutdown after the shit I did to the elbow and didn't have movement for months but it came back of it's own accord; makes for interesting times when you're left handed :rolleyes:

I'm sure some of the magic the surgeons do is just trial & error and the thought of comfort doesn't cross their minds till you moan about it. Bone grafts are the bastards of the medical world, I had two done with bone taken from my pelvis :facepalm: that's fuckin painful!

:innocent: had a couple of their more colourful ones on it but got chewed up. Best reactions when wearing that was when I had an old brass monkey t-shirt on.....the old 80s era "I survived the Otago Motorcycle Club's Brass Monkey Rally" got a few good looks then :yes:

For future reference, sleep in a chair. Guy in the trade in ChCh had a shoulder op and couldn't get comfortable so I told him just that.
Next thing, his wife is accusing me of trying to break up their marriage as he really liked the chair - and she missed him in bed, LOL.
He's now ex trade - and as the shoulder has healed and he's gone back to bed, I'm forgiven...

WOW so sell up in Orkers get a HUGE mortgage and move to living the dream rural in Canty.

well... one month later the boss tells her and the other 3 workers in the division that they are all fucked and out a there as they will be sending there work to india to be done cheaper.... ARSEHOLES...

So these bosses sack hard working kiwis and fuck them over so bad so as they can get the job done cheaper... FUCK OFF its so as they can line there pockets with more cash and make more money... cos they dont give a rats arse about NZ, only them selves...

so, this lovely KBer now has a huge mortgage cos the boss said "do it" the boss aproved a 6 week holiday to the states on and with her bike a 15k+ trip to pay of and i might add this is just the start... all cos of cheaper labour over seas...

You can trust what someone tells you about as far as you can kick a piano.

There's a reason why I do business with people who still have offices and call centres in NZ, firstly to support companies who are employing new zealanders, and secondly so I can understand what they're saying when I talk to them on the phone.

[Voltaire]

Company I contract to their" Helpdesk" is in India, you only ever ring them once to realise that its easier to sort it out for yourself.

They do however make the Indian Procurement department look efficient and helpful.

Once you have a job you can do from home via a laptop and phone your days are numbered.

[eldog]

One of my customers imports new employees
while another imports as much raw material as they can for their projects.

one because they can’t find any local workforce to work
one solely because they are cheap

finding NZ people who want to work or have physical skills is becoming harder and harder.

I find it’s customers who are becoming less loyal to NZ base as they are only using us as the smart ones they can rely on.

once it gets done overseas, they loose control....

i tend to to stick to a select group of suppliers, even if the cost is more as the service is usually above what the low cost option is. Same applies to my customers, I try and go out of my way to fix their problems. However you can’t please everyone all of the time.

skilled NZders are in sort supply (as are new imports with the right attitude)

most people want a nice warm couchy job.

i would only trust a few.....

Almost anything you can do remotely can be done by some one else. Cheaper....

overseas people see NZ as heaven, compared to their current situation.

try going overseas and seeing it for yourself like I have.

have i done something to piss you off?
there's really no need for that
:bleh:

[dangerous]

Well I wish I could afford that move.
i have thought long and hard about doing that exact same thing to get away.
cant find a job that I can do that with.
enjoy the lifestyle you have created. Remember you can always sell, but location, location, location.

use ACC if that’s suitable. You are conscientious? I have the same in the past, back to work, no sick leave etc. well I don’t think I have ever taken a sick day yet.

dont blame gubbermint.
we need more practical studies in schools......
get them more confident and able to stand by themselves or at least have some chance at bettering themselves.

in this case it was a house in manuwera worth 550k the same place in the same area here bout 300k... thers ya diferance

I used to pride my self on using no sick days... but then I got old so tend to use some these days

it is the gubbermint that could introduce more practical studies...
as for confident... dont get me started on the dumbing down theroy...

So anyway, getting back on topic, can anyone tell me the point of automatic windscreen wipers on a car? For fucks sake. If I can't see through the window due to moisture I will flick the switch and move the wiper. Job done.

Someone needs to tell Kim Dong and the other one down south to sort this shit out. Fucking Kia Sportage I drove today didn't even have an intermittent option, It was either off, fucking robot mental controlled or on constantly. Robot option is fucked - I can see out of the fucking windscreen, I don't need some fucking arsehole sensor to decide to stick the wipers on at 1800 bpm at some random moment.

Sorry, but I cannot see the actual point. Had a ride in Range Rover the other night. Blinded every twat coming towards us while the sensor decided whether or not to switch high beam on or off.

Thank fuck my bike does not have all this shit yet.

I had an Audi Q7 slam it's own brakes on a while ago, backing out of a driveway. Thought it saw something, apparently.

PS: I love Dannevirke, smack in the middle of a great riding area, big enough to have most amenities (like an actual choice of pubs) and only an hour away from half of the north island. The fire station is great, dead centre of town, lots of potential for artistic licence.

That's why I drive an '84 Subaru Brumby - the only 'automatic' knick-nack is the lights turn off when you turn the motor off - but it also has an intermittent setting for wipers!.:Punk:


And even my '61 Bambina had that. (Not so crash hot an idea when you bump the ignition key to 'off' on a dark desert highway...) :wacko:

I picked up a new to me car yesterday, drove home in the rain. Much to my amazement the wipers adjusted their speed to match the rain and the rear wiper would come on now and again by itself. I was amazed, love it.

It's the most modern car I've owned, 2015, and I have to say it's very engaging and fun. The boot light is a removable torch, doesn't take much to impress me.

He should have pushed it into a shed and left it. Idiot sold it when he didn't need to. As a road car it was genuinely mental.

They're a lot smaller than a 3 series BMW or C class Benz, which are what I consider to be mid sized.

Friday night rant, who's the old clown who gets around Wellington on a black Honda CB something late 80's , grey moustache, usually wearing slacks sneakers and a grubby jacket. Last week he undertook me in a wobbly fashion with his groceries hanging off his bars. riding like a tit and barely in control. Today I have to move out of the way as he's riding along Vivian street on the fucking pavement yelling at pedestrians because the traffic was snarled and that's his way of filtering FFS, My mum had the good sense to stop driving when her dementia kicked in. Perhaps someone should have a word to him.

I experienced a most intriguing encounter this morning at Taupiri. Thankfully Balu was with me (enjoying the chance to be a front seat passenger instead of usual driver). Coming out of Huntly around 8.15 this morning, heading south, I passed one of two cars ahead of me on the overtaking lane where the speed zone changes from 70 to 100. The second car was a little further ahead so rather than flooring it to get past I decided to tuck in behind.
The driver of that car continued to chug along at 80 coming out of the passing lanes and after several seconds of clearly not intending to go any faster I flashed my lights at him. Once. No horn. No "hand signals". One little 1 second light flash.
Well the response was immediate. I got the one finger salute, another hand signal out the window (which I did recognise as meaning "wanker"), a couple of ciggie butts flicked at my windscreen, plus several other bizarre hand signs - although he favoured the wanker and middle finger most.
Not bothering to respond to him I just continued to sit at 80, until dropping to 70 the 70 approach to Taupiri mountain. I indicated left to move into the roundabout to head south when he suddenly lurched his vehicle in front of mine and came to a sudden stop. My initial reaction was "um, why is he stopping when there are no other cars entering the roundabout?" Ah, that was about to be answered. Very loudly, very physically; he was apoplectic.

As he got out of his vehicle (little grey demio) I immediately ensured my central locking was engaged; and he stormed up to my car yelling with rage about what "fucken dumb bitch" was I to "think I could drive at 100 in a 70 zone". When I said it was 100 back before the speed zone; he screamed at me again "fucken dumb bitch, I'm a Maori (yes I could see that) and he knew he was right that I was trying to speed in a 70 kph zone" (um, no, I dropped to 70 at the LSZ while he continued to drive at 80). While yet again reiterating my ignorance and female dog status he decided to punctuate it with a haka stance and eyeball me. While many responses were going through my mind, I decided that saying nothing and just looking back at him was probably the least provocative thing to do.

As he moved to his car I didn't bother to have a wee korero with the car behind me as I didn't know whether mr. ignorant hori (who looked like he was on P) had any other surprises waiting in his vehicle for me - I dropped into first and left him at the roundabout.

Has anyone else had a colourful road rage encounter such as this? We even drove back home via Taupiri to check that I hadn't missed a temporary speed change in the area ( I hadn't) so I can only conclude that he was under some type of delusion that I was disrespecting "his"? mountain or that his racial status entitled him to make a speed change in the area (that only he knew about) :weird:
