Fun on Hutt Road?

[Bend-it]

Overheard a little sparrow talking about cops chasing a black bike on hutt motorway yesterday. Came in from Lower Hutt, and turned off at Newlands, reported speeds of 200kph!

If you're on here, just wanted to say that you're a nutter!! :blip:

Comms centre was asking for a description, plates, style of bike etc and the copper went, "Nahh, didn't see anything... it was a black bike!" Couldn't even tell if it was a cruiser or a sportbike! A cruiser doing 200? Come on... Haha!

Someone even asked about laying down spikes... I'm sure the biker would have enjoyed THAT... Thankfully, someone else with some brains stopped them on that one

[hunt]

that biker be way to cool to be a member on here

[sAsLEX]

lucky they painted there bike an anonomous colour ratehr than say bright green:yes:

[Insanity_rules]

I admit it, it wasn't me LOL. Man that dudes a nutter. Hey what colour is madboys bike? I only ever seen it in the dark.

[Pwalo]

Are you sure that's not a piss take. I think that you'd be pretty lucky to get up to 200 along SH2 unless there was nothing else on the road. Damned hard to ake the Nelands off ramp at anything much over 100.

Ummm, not so. Got a bit carried away once on the way to work in the morning & hit 220 away from the lights around melling, before I looked down and saw the speed.

Spent the next couple of weeks shitting meself in case I'd been caught on camera.

[Jonty]

Did I hear something on the news this morning about the fastest speed ever caught by an NZ speed camera was recorded recently at 182kmph. This is fairly quick but I thought it would have been a ittle higher? I hope it wasn't in a 50 k ares:shutup:

what was the busa down south clocked at? wasnt camera but a laser I think, pretty sure it was over the new ton (300)

I was only trying to hit 100...


But yeah it was in a 50, no 30 zone, outside a school, with little babys gamboling in the street, anipoppedawheely&gavethewankersintherecagesthebirdasiwentpassed

Ooh! Hang on, better not take the piss. Some of the fasciosa on the this site might take me seriously & then I'll have to be wary of the jack boots kicking in my door in the dead of night.

You cheeky bugger!!!! The mighty GS is a veritable rocketship - well compared to a Vespa or most cars.

But come on, you'd be working at it to get up to, let alone maintain 200 along SH2 between Petone and Ngauranga. I'd love to see someone try it though.

Seems like another urban legend to me.

[wendigo]

I'm sure its possible, but I think you'd need balls of steel. Lane splitting at 200 anyone?

Read an article in Performance Bikes a few years ago, were one of the journos took a fully fueled R1 onto a peage in France & opened it up until the gas ran out. The full tank of petrol lasted 18 minutes. Musta been some buzz.

[Wasp]

OH COME ON... we all know who this is so lets stop bsing.... salsex got it in the 3rd post.... and insanitys on the right track....

provided im right that is....

[Jonty]

Here it is:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3657423a11,00.html

Seems to be "one of" the highest speeds. Damn why can't they tell us the "highest".

[Str8 Jacket]

provided im right that is....

Careful, there are a few black bikes in Welly. I happen to know of a black bike that goes that very way just about everyday and its not madboy...

[Wasp]

yea ture... just remembered i saw a guy up by deano's on a black bike riding round with no helmet/gear at night. (got down right shitty when my mate didnt pull the van over and give him more space)

I could probably have a bad try at it with a tail wind and a testicle implant.......

[madboy]

Right, time to feed the fire.

1. It wasn't me. I know this because I bumped into a fellow biker at lunchtime today who asked me if I was riding a [not black and not my type of] bike up Newlands at 230k getting chased by the cops last night. News to me.
2. The one on Melling earlier this week wasn't me either. I know this because I would have ridden from my mother's house (free shower while my bathroom is in bits), past my daughters school and then up to Melling at somewhere around 8.30am. Not a chance in hell I'd be doing anything in that area at that time dodgy enough to warrant any sort of runner.
3. Where can't you do 200k on SH2 between Petone and Ngauranga? Okay, traffic may be a mitigating factor, but if you're keen enough you can.
4. An indicated 260 is quite achievable on SH2 between Hutt and Ngauranga at peak hour. Ahem... so I've been told. And no, you dumbarses, there is more to the story than that.
5. 184 on camera? I admit nothing, but I bet there's someone in the camera office staring at a recent pic of a black bike wondering who the bastard is at a speed greater than 184. I'm pretty sure, at least when they first came out, the cameras got to 200 and then said "200+" or something like that. They didn't keep reading over that.
6. Just because you or your bike can't do something, don't assume that all bikes or bikers can't do that, or don't do that. A modern thou sportsbike would hit 200k easily within a standing 1/4 mile, needless to say it doesn't take much to get up to that speed, or down from it, between carefully spaced traffic.
7. Every runner done in Wellington does not necessarily involve me. Runners were done long before I was around, and will probably be done long after I'm gone.

now peak hour would be between 8 and 9am, and 260k between the hutt and
ngauranga at this time, a tad exaggerated me thinks

[Madness]

I heard from a very reliable source that the offending bike was initially spotted doing "approximately 200km/hr" along The Esplanade in Petone and then made a run into Ngauranga, Up the Gorge, where the Ecilops lost him.

Guilty until proven innocent eh, Madboy?

What time of day was this?

[Madness]

Last night at around 11.15 Pm in the evening.

[madboy]

ngauranga at this time, a tad exaggerated me thinksLet me know your cell number and I'll take you pillion some time. I'm not advocating it, I don't make a habit of it, but I do know it's quite possible at that time of day. I should point out that it was "indicated", and maybe I did exaggerate a little, but the needle was a lot closer to 260 than 250. Maybe 230-240 actual then.

200k on the esplanade? Is that what sparked the pursuit or is that during the chase? I can understand it during, but sheesh, that's gettin big even by my standards if they were just doing it for fun. It's not a particularly smooth piece of road at that speed. I can think of safer places to get a buzz.

I believe that is what sparked the pursuit. I may be wrong on this point.

I used to get my RG250 up to 200 odd along Cambridge Tce (Paralell to train tracks) when I was 16, late at night. Very bumpy at that speed, would never do it these days, my brain has matured a little.

Its all very well for me to sit at the computer and post shit, but you got me, my balls are way to small to get on the back with you, why do you think i ride a triumph, 230 -240 is a bit more realistic i think

[Dafe]

I heard Darkman was test riding a Black CRB600RR. Good to see he's not holding back on the testrides. Coz you have to test the runner capability too!

Very bumpy at that speed, would never do it these days, my brain has matured a little.I could really get myself in trouble if I told you how quick a 636 can go down Cambridge Tce, particularly 'cos the fellas behind me probably still want a word about that. But that wasn't the catalyst, that was the outcome.

Hunt - At the flying 1/4s the bike was timed at an average of 253, and the speedo was showing 270 going in and 278 coming out of the timing zone. So yeah, 230-240 ballpark on the hutt mway in peak hour is about right. And I should point out re: the mway, that was where the rider chose to back off. ANother rider on the same or quicker bike may have chosen to keep going!

[Madness]

There are a couple of bends in the southbound lane SH2 near BP that are slightly off, or at least negative camber, was wet last night too. The guy should get bling for not having a ding!

I'm glad it wasn't a POLICE bike.

[Slingshot]

I wasn't me! I was away last night.

[Wellyman]

Rocket 3?:wait:
Don't you mean "rocket tank 3". They must blow up from high revs though as I saw a Rocket 3 on the bench being repaired in the suzuki workshop below us a few weeks ago. they obviously can't handle high revs/speed.

Yeah sorry to throw stones in my post asking what colour your bike was dude, But gut reaction was who would have the balls to ride like that!

I wouldn't have the kahonas to get on the back with you but I'd like to ride with you to witness. Not saying I could keep up either but I gotta see this.

[riffer]

'bout time you posted. I was a bit worried you were holed up in Newlands with a shotgun and a bottle of whisky....

[Slingshot]

At least that would provide some level of excitement.

But hey...I'd be happy to just settle for the whisky.

And the Blondes are easy..... Sorry force of habit.

[Madness]

I think it's all a bit unjustified to chase a motorcyclst like that on a Thursday night in the Hutt. Whilst that was going on, and for some time before and after, the Melling drags continued as per usual. The cage-racers do it every Thursday night and enjoy the benefit of safety in numbers. A lone motorcyclist is seen exceeding the posted limit and is pursued like a sweaty rapist. Maybe he was out giving the cages a "learn"??

[riffer]

No sheep in Newlands any more mate.

Although there is a deer farm on the top of the hill still...

Yeah...we're just down the road from said farm.

I do have a bottle of Chivas in the liquor cabinet but I'm saving it for a special occasion.

[kiwisfly]

ahh memory flood. As kids we used to go for "hikes" along those hills. There was an industrial tip along towards Horokiwi & we'd play there for hours amoungest all the cool stuff. One time we found a bag of syringes (sp?) of what looked like blood and spent the rest of the hike squirting ourselves (& nervous sheep!) with the stuff. Makes me shutter to think about it now! Slingshot, you in Woodridge?

I didn't know it was a black one! It better have the big silver wings on it or I'll have to spray it another colour.


Well it any of the Thurs crew that were out. Could've been nasty luck for me if it was when I was heading back that way and he passed me with cops in tow. Like SOMEONE else did once upon a time...

Lucky you didn't take off after the black bike thinking it was a race! How many cops involved?

[ajturbo]

In traffic!!! You're a bloody legend.

legend??? wow!!:yes:

would go that far...but the traffic was light.... running late for a KB ride... mud boy on back.... hhhmmm.. woops thats a bit fast..... :innocent:

still missed the ride:angry:

I wouldn't have the kahonas to get on the back with you but I'd like to ride with you to witness. Not saying I could keep up either but I gotta see this.I ride like a girl with pillions, honestly. You'd be fine. As for the witnessing stuff? I don't get chased that often, you'd be lucky to see me doing anything exciting!

I was meaning it would've been stink if that happened - but it didn't.
