(sigh)the night the wasnt

[BuRnS]

Had the school ball in the weekend. me and me girl went on my kawasaki zxr400 i polished it up and got it all looking nice the girl did the side saddle thing.
anyway we had it planed tht whered start just down the road cause we werent wearing helmets ya know the hair thing inall

After bout 5 mins of waiting in the line old jonhy law comes up
"oi youre not doing tht without a helmet park it up now"

i mean wtf its just the ball (sigh) owell at least he didnt tell me off infront of everyone luckly my mate was behind me in there ride so i went with him

but dam we were so looking foward to arriving on the beast but no the good old boys in blue had to have a problem with it... i guess there right tho. but i cant help now kinda relating to what ice cube said in torque " F**K THE POLICE"

just my story...

[Beemer]

And if you and your girl had come a cropper and ended up with brain damage, who would you blame then?

"School ball" says it all. Come back when you've grown up a little and moan about the things you get done for that AREN'T fair. Sounds like all you got was a warning, you're lucky the cop didn't give you a ticket for having no helmets. You both certainly deserved one for having no brains.

[placidfemme]

Have to agree with Beemer here... even a "short" ride without a helmet can end up deadly... good on the boys in blue i say

[BuRnS]

god yeah cause we were gonna crash an die at a whopping 1 kilometer

i knew id get this

[Deano]

Was the venue at the street front ?

Were vehicles lined up in the road to get in ?

Southwards Car Museum in P'ram would have suited you - about 100m of private driveway to 'parade' up to the entrance.

It was a nice idea, and probably not dangerous if you kept at a brisk walking pace.......but the rules are the rules (as duly pointed out above you naughty naughty boy) - as much as the rules might suck.

[Patrick]

Nah, it was all the other kiddies driving to the same location, pissed on a sip of 2 stroke beer/woodstock and coke, texting thier mates while driving their mummys car that "wouldn't have seen ya..."

[Patrick]

i knew id get this

"STOOPID IS AS STOOPID DOES" .... Name THAT quote...

[TerminalAddict]

my names forrest ..

[Karma]

me and me girl went on my kawasaki zxr400 i polished it up and got it all looking nice

Sorry... it's yellow.

If it was green... then I might have believed that.

[BuRnS]

ight dude but ya werent there no matter how you imagine the story

[BuRnS]

lol no your right it is a kawasaki i brought it yellow but i like it beter tho

[Str8 Jacket]

Bummer dude, I can see why they did what they did as much as it sucks. Look on the brightside, at least they didnt try and give you a ticket as well!

[snuffles]

more importantly, did you get your end away?

[BuRnS]

did you get your end away?

my end?

10fc

[Str8 Jacket]

my end?


Did you get laid? geez young people these days.... :wait:

[Beemer]

Nah, the girly probably turned him down because he wasn't wearing a helmet on that knob either!

[scumdog]

Seen it before: "I was just (they always use 'just') taking my grlfriend to the ball - but then I saw my mates near the hall and thought I'd give 'em a buzz by fanging past them and I was that busy looking at them I never saw my other mate with the camera until I hit him"

Only minor scrapes etc here - but you see where I'm coming from.


And if the cop HAD said "O.K., ride on" and you arsed up you can bet your bottom dollar SOMEBODY (parent?) would say "It's the cops fault, he shouldn't have let him ride on like that after he stopped him", "PCA here I come":yes:

[BuRnS]

Was the venue at the street front ?

Were vehicles lined up in the road to get in ?

yer was at a hall and the road was closed off

[scumdog]

my end?

O.K., did you sink the sausage?

[Patrick]

Nah... illegal for under 16's...

Maybe, maybe not. Are all cops prejudgmental ?;)

He could have ignored it like I see a bit when a cyclist rides past a cop with no helmet on....

Let's all bag the newbie.

[BuRnS]

Did you get laid? geez young people these days.... :wait:

lmao na dude she anit my gf just went so we could go lol thts not how i fly anyway

[Beemer]

lmao na dude she anit my gf just went so we could go lol thts not how i fly anyway

Yes! your end.

Unless you want some one else getting their end away with your partner.

[Str8 Jacket]

Come on, give the guy a break.... He actually sounds like a decent young man AND he rides a motorcycle. We were all young once!

[Jantar]

Side saddle, no helmets, incomplete grasp of the english language all add up to someone who doesn't deserve to have a bike licence.

[BuRnS]

oh wat i anit no baty boy i ride a bike lol what i mean its its not my stlye i got a gf

[Kornholio]

Did you get laid? geez young people these days.... :wait:

Lol had to laugh

Bit of a bummer man tho... you would have been like the Fonz(leather jacket wearing biker dude in a hit show called Happy Days..might be before your time) if you had pulled it off...alas in this Politically correct and 'wrap em in cotton wool and dont let them have any fun' world you will get this.

Was worth a crack tho.... so you did you get to play 'the furry honey pot adventure' with your date? :D

[Beemer]

Come on, give the guy a break.... He actually sounds like a decent young man AND he rides a motorcycle. We were all young once!

Young - yes. Stupid and unintelligible - not all of us!

Judgemental?
No but they are forced to think "cover my arse" so much nowadays.

Ignore it? Yeah right, as soon as the media does!!!

I considered my post on it covered it nicely - you have to be down that road a bit to know what the 'best' action is - and it may not appeal to the other person so much but hey, I'm damn sure nobody is going to hang me out to dry because I 'ignore it' and get complaints from the public that I was not doing my duty.

I am replying to your post in case it's NOT a wind-up, if it IS then move along, ignore what I've said.

[Deano]

If BuRns was truly doing a walking pace into the drive of the ball venue - the biggest problem I foresee is his dates dress getting caught in the chain.

You could hurt yourself more by running down the driveway to get the paper -or should we get the leathers and helmets out for that ?

Sheesh, what's the big deal.

Oh - welcome to KB BuRns.

[Str8 Jacket]

Young - yes. Stupid and unintelligible - not all of us!


Well you were lucky. 8 years ago I was labelled as stupid and unintelligible amongst other things. I cant imagine where I would be now if I had have listened to those people. At the end of the day he was just trying to do a nice thing, yeah he hadnt thought it through but I doubt he'd make the same mistake again.

[snuffles]

so, can someone keep me up to date.....he didnt get laid, cause hes a fly?

or hes not flying cause hes a batty boy or hes motorcycle is a batty boy that flys and the chick was ugly or the chick was gay and hes a christian........

I am so confused

[BuRnS]

Oh - welcome to KB BuRns.

whoa hey thanks dude

[Patrick]

Yeah, how dare they, f*C#en pigs... giving out warnings, BASTARDS!!!

Welcome too, by the way!

Big difference between being labelled stoopid and being stoopid...

[snuffles]

well maybe you should invest, stops me falling out of bed and giving myself bodily injuries.

Although the MRS is getting abit annoyed with the noise it makes in bed.

[Squeak the Rat]

I've got no problem with the no-helmet in this situation. Not sure about the side sadlle though...

Way I see it is like this :wacko: Cop had three choices:

Leave you be. If you then do something stoopid or some one gets hurt, or some nosey plick complains then he gets "performance managed"
Suggests you don't do that and leaves it a t that
Gives you a ticket. And severely embarrasses you at your school ball....


Sounds like the cops actions were a good compromise. At least it wasn't #3 (or that he didn't breathalise you :rofl:).

Man it feels like I've typed this before somewhere....:innocent:

[McJim]

Welcome to KB BuRnS. You may have received a bit of hard advice today but hey - look how many posts you got on one thread too! Lots of attention for a newbie - well done!
Remember it's not the cops that make the laws it's the government - if you don't want to wear a helmet drive on a private road..or move to USA.:blip:

[The Stranger]

oh wat i anit no baty boy i ride a bike lol what i mean its its not my stlye i got a gf

Ok, for a minute there you were saying you don't fly straight.

Yep... should it be "quack the duck" (since quacks don't echo...) instead of Squeak the Rat?

Oh believe me I aint the brightest star!

And I dont think he's stupid, just made a mistake by posting his mistake really...

god yeah cause we were gonna crash an die at a whopping 1 kilometer

i knew id get this

Seriously, you would be amazed at the number of people who have said the same thing and binned with no gear in 1 km.

whoa lol was just saying

[snuffles]

yer i know dude but i mean going 180 is dangerous...

no its not, its only if you fall off or hit something... but then I guess, 20 km is just as dangerous with no helmet and sandshoes, and no amount of hairspay will protect you if some dickhead in a car runs you down.

[Beemer]

... but it doesnt matter what i say ill never be as holy as beemer ::yawn: my hero (rolls eyes)

Get it right, dickwad, I can be your HEROINE but not your HERO. :zzzz:

[Jantar]

yer i know dude but i mean going 180 is dangerous...

I came off at around 140 kmh, no injury at all and I raced the bike again in the next heat.
I came off at around 120 kmh, just a light bruise on my bum, and I finished the race.
I did a high side at 80 kmh after a tyre blew out, and received multiple bruises. (on the west coast)
But at 30 kmh outside a school I was taken out by a taxi and ended up in hospital.

Now what speed did you say is dangerous?

[The Pastor]

The chances of getting run over/into, on a closed street which i imagine is no longer than 500m while doing a walking pace are slim, the chance of injury is even slimmer. Everyone who has givin shit about the no lid are morons. I remember back when helmets were optional. No one would of said anything back then, the only thing that has changed is that now we have 'the man' telling us to wear a lid. Often I wear bare feat and no helmet when i just have to go and get gas from work or home, dangerous? no. You can't tell me that because Im not wearing gear the chances of getting into an accident have increased.



Whats dangerous is kickstarting a dirt bike in bare feet. I caught my toe on the peg and riped a nice chunk of flesh out. Didnt stop me riding it though - but im a hooligan.



But why was there police on a closed road?

anyspeed 1 k into a wall ...who knows. 100k into a wall well according to you ill be fine...if ya want to go there

but lol my mate had a 100k slide and he all he got was a scratch including his bike so i dont know perhaps death just cant keep up with ya

[BuRnS]

Get it right, dickwad, I can be your HEROINE but not your HERO. :zzzz:

lmao uh your a girl not tht it maters. its called sarcasim

The point is NOT that a particular speed is dangerous, or that at any other particular speed you will be safe. Its how you ride and what you hit, or what hits you, that matters. No helmets on it own at low speed is probably not such a big deal, and that is why the cop just gave you a bit of advice and no ticket. But having a pillion increases the risk, and if that pillion is side saddle then you are really asking for trouble.

Anf 100kmh into wall? I'd be dead helmet or no helmet, so would you. But 10kmh or 1 kmh , and lose balance on the side away from the one your pillion is facing and she will have serious head injuries without a helmet.

Its much easier to lose balance and control at low speed than it is at high speed.

I got a good welcome too in the beginning but managed to survive intact. (I think)

Be kind to Beemer, she's actually quite nice :) See all the green squares on the rightside of her name. She knows what she's on about.

I know, you still should have worn ya lid
Anyhoo, i think you've got the idea now :nya:

yer dude respect but for the record ya gonna say ya never know but i didnt just wing it we practiced riding side saddle before the ball. its a real thing ya know and ya got ta take it with a grain or 2 of salt lol

[ManDownUnder]

Nice idea man, I know the romance of the ball etc - but you planned something illegal and got sprung. Next time just plan something on the right side of the law. The romance is in the thought anyway. Shame you couldn't pull it off, but I'm willing to bet the g/f appreciated it anyway.

Like someone mentioned - go easy on Beemer - she's got it right.

[Beemer]

Cripes, can someone tell my husband I know what I'm talking about? He might disagree...!

Hey BuRnS, you can't blame some of us for giving you a hard time, you told us what you'd done and we told you what we thought about it. If you didn't want that kind of reaction, you shouldn't have posted something that would obviously divide us into two camps - those who thought "what a moron!" and those who thought "on ya mate!"

And I think you were bloody lucky to get off with just a warning - get the same cop on a different night and it could have been a ticket and an eye kept on you for ages afterwards. Bit of a 'damned if he does, damned if he doesn't' situation.

[Lou Girardin]

If you want to ride without a helmet, you have to be a gang member, be going to a tangi and have lots of mates with you.

Its much easier to lose balance and control at low speed than it is at high speed.

Only if you suck. It saddens me no end when I see people on full-license-needing machines who don't have proper low speed control; doing pathetic duck-walks and keeping their feet down as some kind of bizarre outrigger system under 10k.

One thing the dude at my BHST at Ridesafe stressed was the importance of this. (Andrew was it? THE MAN at low speed stuff). It's been something of a forte of mine since the very beginning; I put 50 Ks on my RG doing figure-8s in the driveway before I got my license.....

[XTC]

We were all young once!
PROVE IT!!!

[merv]

Welcome to KB BuRnS.

Love this thread. Being one that grew up before helmets became compulsory and we thought nothing of riding down the road to dry our hair after a shower, or raced around dirt tracks with next to nothing on, I found all this quite funny.

[Jantar]

I will repeat. Its much easier to lose balance and control at low speed than it is at high speed. This is a simple matter of physics, and as someone who has ridden trials (which is real low speed stuff) I can talk from experience.

There are many bikes out there that cannot be ridden at less than 10 kmh. My ex GS1200SS for example has a minimum speed at idle in 1st gear of 14 kmh. Now just do the math yourself and work out what the minimum controllable speed for a 280 kg bike/rider combination on 17 in wheels just happens to be.

Now see if you can explain why many large bikes appear to fall over for no reason at speeds less than 15 kmh.

However one point you make I will agree with. Duck walking a bike is pointless. If you lose it with a large bike at 10 kmh there is no way that having a foot down will save it.

[Skunk]

A funny thread... :second:

[Brett]

And to think that when i am working on my bikes and want to take it for a 5 second test ride up and down the road i do not wear a helmet...oh the shame! I reckon good on ya for trying o do something different. Just wear ya gear when you normally ride.

Over and Out.

[R6_kid]

im with bret, its pretty obvious he wasnt gonna be doing anything stupid, the only thing that was gonna be showing off was showing up on the bike.

Would have been dubious about her dress getting caught up in the back wheels brake/sprockets but meh.

When i was getting my ZXR ready for the road (not rego'd or wof's, just getting the engine to go properly) i would take it up and down the street to test various things, best time was when i was told off my an old guy doing roadworks at the bottom of the street, i was in t-shirt and shorts, he says "your not alowed on that, you arent wearing a helmet" my reply was, "im not wearing shoes either, do you think i care?"

[scumdog]

its pretty obvious he wasnt gonna be doing anything stupid,

One of THE most famous last words!!!!:yes:

How many Erebus sized disasters started with a thought like that?

[Ixion]

Actually, just about every REALLY stupid thing I've ever done has started out with me saying "I'm not going to do anything stupid now" . Or, "Yes, dear, I'll be careful".

[Patrick]

BLah Blah..." F**K THE POLICE" ..

Yeah, what a bastard for giving ya a warning. Geez, he won't get his quotas doing that, should be sacked!

Mind you, if he reads this thread, which is quite possible... since he made such a massivemistake and gave ya a warning, he'll probably be out lookin for ya, since you're so thankful and all...

[marty]

lucky he didn't give you a ticket for breaching your licence

[snuffles]

yer ive delt with the cops many a times in my time on my bike and ive always seen there goodside luckly but na i know whats real at the end of the day

And i thought you wer only young, shit wish I had the expeience of dealing with cops all the time on my bike........ever thought that it might bethe way you ride that causes all the attention????????

[BuRnS]

And i thought you wer only young, shit wish I had the expeience of dealing with cops all the time on my bike........ever thought that it might bethe way you ride that causes all the attention????????

lol no the first night i ever got a bike i crashed it bigtime and ended up in hospital for the night. no reg no wof and no licence but i got diversion of a 100 donaton to charity i think the cops were just pleased tht i told the truth about everything and complied with everything they told me to do

then got pulled up cause my reg and wof were displayed on the front and not on the back had no licence then but got 28 days ta get it cus i had it already booked

so i had a bit of time on my bike but no never for the way i ride except for tht crash which my first time anyway which is all part of learning bikes isnt it

cops seem good if you respect them which i always do like on the night of the ball i parked my bike striaght away...i was only "saying" thts all its a really funny line in tht moive lol

[Ixion]

..

Uh, no, no it's not. Part of being a squid, maybe.

Uh, no, no it's not. Part of being a squid, maybe.
well said that man... I thought the whole point was not to crash.

[BuRnS]

U cant say tht you werent there accidents happen if ya been dummass or your riding perfect and someone unfortunitly hits you for what ever reason...
and like whats been said throughout this thread ova nad ova "young and stupid" lol which is exactly tht

Can some one please translate, either I'm losing my grasp of the english language or the youth of today are sliding back to caveman talk:innocent:

[merv]

Translation: I think he's saying you can't really say what you have for sure because you weren't there at the time to witness what he did, but that aside he is saying if you're (as in himself) being a dumbass accidents will happen. Then even when you are riding well someone else might hit you and cause an accident. Then throughout this thread the discussion has been about him being young and stupid, which he agrees with and thinks is funny (hence the lol), but luckily he believes he will learn from his mistakes (the reference to monkeys learning).

My comment: Now I am sure you were all young once and pushed the envelope. We did crazy things on pushbikes when I was young with no protective gear at all - it hadn't even come into peoples thinking to wear helmets on pushbikes. Early motorbike racing had some pretty dodgy gear too with helmets a bit like flying helmets with googles - more to keep the wind out of the riders eyes and keep them warm. Then even in the 60's the pudding basin helmet was the go before jet helmets came to cover the temples let alone full face helmets to protect the face and chin.

I rode trials for about 5 years long before helmets were brought to that form of competition. Few got hurt - I can remember seeing Denill clout his head on an overhanging tree once but he bounced off OK at the slow speed. We wore woolly hats or peaked caps.

Slowly but surely protective gear has got better and I wear more than I used to. I got my XL175 in December '73 and here's a pic early Jan '74 still running the engine in - heat of Hawkes Bay sun racing around at the river - wear much? No not at all. Any hassles? Other than sunburn - no!

I didn't own a full face helmet until I had been riding 25 years and bought the VFR and then it was more about protection from the wind than worrying about crashing.

All forms of competition has got more extreme making the risks greater so mitigation through better gear isn't a bad idea. On the road - or riding to the school ball - is that also the case?

oh wat i anit no baty boy i ride a bike lol what i mean its its not my stlye i got a gf


U cant say tht you werent there accidents happen if ya been dummass or your riding perfect and someone unfortunitly hits you for what ever reason...

I once read something somewhere about a chimpanzee typing King Lear. I think that eventuality is still some way away. Or further, if the demonstrated Darwinism is any indicator.

[scumdog]

Translation: I think he's saying you can't really say what you have for sure because you weren't there at the time to witness what he did, but that aside he is saying if you're (as in himself) being a dumbass accidents will happen. ?

Good one giving out retalitory red reps just because you got one. That was the first time I have read this thread and your initial comments justified it completely. The rep system's there to show you disagree with someone's opinion or attitude. Not attack someone just because they gave you one. You're old but it doesn't sound like you're particularly mature.

[Colapop]

Yo G, werd!

Not quite. Its there to show that you approve or disapprove of their post. Agreement or disagreement has nothing to do with it. I often give green rep to those who disagree with me. Especially if the are logical and eloquent in their disagreement. :yes:

[MrMelon]

Yeah I disapproved of the tone taken that's why I gave it. I'm just sick of these people who give you one back straight away just because you gave them one.

[scumdog]

Geez str8 let me guess you own some... naa i wont get n2 tht. im sure you have n ntertain'n life man. lol.

I bet that SOMEWHERE in the world there is a place where this bunch of garbled spasmodic letter placement passes for a written language - but don't ask me where!!!'

PS: I'm surprised they even use anything that even looks like letters, I would have thought they would have shunned them too!!

You gotta change that dude, i did a week after my ball :blip: , Even better she had planned on going with a mate of mine. Too bad he's a wanker...

[Quartida]

lol no the first night i ever got a bike i crashed it bigtime and ended up in hospital for the night. no reg no wof and no licence but i got diversion of a 100 donaton to charity i think the cops were just pleased tht i told the truth about everything and complied with everything they told me to do

cops seem good if you respect them which i always do like on the night of the ball i parked my bike striaght away...i was only "saying" thts all its a really funny line in tht moive lol

While I can see that people would be against you on the helmet thing - and in all fairness, I think both sides of the argument have their points - I have to say that this post, apart from the spelling etc., shows a certain maturity. After all, there are a few of us who could do to remember that "cops seem good if you respect them".

Can someone please tell me what any posts by BuRnS or race me mean?

[Oakie]

My daughter tells me it means ... and I quote:

"To stay in control so no-one rips you off"

OK. I paraphrased a little ... what she really said was "to keep your hand hard so you can slap any bitches that don't hand over their prostituting money in time".

Haha, I came online to say that I had SUDDENLY realised it was you (blonde moment). And I kept that photo that you took because it was heaps better than the one I took in my garage. :yes:

Morty's running fine. (Sorry for calling him Morty...it's a long story.) He's had a few little tweaks - making the indicators run a bit better, new front tyre for the WOF etc. but generally he seems very happy.

Oh - apart from needing a lot of choke to get himself up and going...a problem we hope to fix. Any ideas (apart from the fact that he's almost 20)?
Did you have any probs with the idling being too low?

haha thts funny our you refer to the bike as a person although 'it' was a girl when I had it lol.. but na thats good to here that the monster still lives :rockon:

when i brought the bike the idle was messy as but then i got a tuneup and then ran sweet but i always found tht the idle screw would never stay in the lock thing on the side by the engine and it would always wind it self back in through like vibration and all tht. which would make it idle lower.
so it could be that. but i dont know lol

[snuffles]

My god, he starts talking to a girl and suddenly all beings can understand him..........wonders will neavre cease.

The Sunday ride turned out to be a rather civilised cruise through the Eastern Countryside towards Miranda.

You wouldn't have met tarmac and you wouldn't have been the slowest (coz I was)

[COP_B8]

If you want to ride without a helmet, you have to be a gang member, be going to a tangi and have lots of mates with you.

I attended a funeral last week, travelled from the service to the burial site without a helmet, out of respect, and felt the right thing to do......
Fully expected to be dealt with if seen by the cops, but recieved thanks from the family for it.

[Hitcher]

travelled from the service to the burial sight

I don't think so, somehow. A site for soar ayes...

[COP_B8]

Yeah, wrong place to make a spelling mistake

[Quartida]

I think I could have managed it. The furtherest I've been from my house is to SuperCheap Auto, which is 5 mins away. :o (And I got tooted at once! For not taking an intersection quick enough!! Honestly...)

But every day things are getting easier. I'm going to do a ten minute ride tonight, to my dance class and back, which will be the longest yet. So soon I can join you in the 250 ride joy!
