What in the world was she doing learning to ride on a R1?

Or make the Missus eat her own cooking. :blah:

That's what I thought. R1, no helmet, bleedin' askin' for trouble guv.

It's called freedom - they can ride any bike they like with no training and no protective gear.Give them time....have you noticed that 95% of Dawin Award candidates are from the good old USA.

If only i had this info this time last year !!!...... :bash: Would have saved me shitloads !!! :yes: Hahahahaha

As long as they don't try and sue yamaha for making a 'dangerous' sports bike. I'm all for freedom, but you've got to take responsibility for yourself too.

Jeepers.

But then, the merkins have the weird thing going on where acceptable motorcycles for learners, etc are sort of level-shifted several steps. They think you're a pansy if you learn on anything less than a 100bhp sport 600, these days. And nothing less than an R1, 'busa or Valkyrie is acceptable for a five-minute ride to the coffee shop.

Can you imagine your average Kiwi teenager hopping on an '04 GSXR600 instead of a GN250 when they get their license? Shudder.

I just hope that Motu's point about the Darwin awards is true. With any luck, they'll all just kill themselves off with a minimum of fuss.

[FROSTY]

Mind you Im told a beginner rider can do a lot of damage on a "mere' 250

:killingme Land of the free, home of the brave & also lotsa stoopid dumb asses.

To bad he wrecked his bike doing it:doh: :stupid:

Oh and one the subject of "Dirty Deeds", if you need to dispose of the body afterward give me a call. My gas forge runs up to 800deg. C. Ideal for getting rid of most evidense (as long as you chop it up first):killingme

Shit I'll have to play some AC/DC now:Punk:

I witnessed my Bro's missus drop clutch on her first ride and wheelie into a fence - I don't think she's ever ridden again.


That wasn't on an R1 though it was on a Honda TL125 and what a powerful beast they were. The problem always is the learner drops clutch and is caught by the jerk and can't help wrapping the throttle on hard and then finds it impossible to let go just hanging on for grim death.

Yebbut if you dump the clutch on an R1, you're going helmet-surfing with an R1-shaped dent in your chest. Accidentally lofting the TL125 probably didn't injure much more than her pride and confidence. Also, there's generally some nice soft mud and grass to land on in the TL125's natural habitat.

Indeed. Mebbe it's because any motor looks small in comparison to those that power their gas-guzzling behemoths - like 8-ltire V10s, and 7 litre turbo-diesels.
Murka - land of the Boss Hawg.... yeee harrr!!

:D Reminds me of a friend of mine from school. His brother was instructing him the first time he rode his bike, in the back yard.
"Right - just twist the throttle until that needle's in the red zone, then let go of the clutch lever."

Its so funny how americans consider themselves to be the greatest country in the world, yet the majority of them a complete dumb fuckers.......

As people have said before..... R1 + Learner + No Gear = Trouble

I bet alot of NZ riders on smaller bikes (ie 250-400) could outride them on their 1000's...... excluding me ofcourse.... im slow :(

[KATWYN]

Ohhh so THATS why hubby tried to get me on his 1999 yzfr R1 (joke)... didn't kill myself, although might have done 2 years earlier if that had been the 1st bike I learnt on! sheesh a bit sad.

I bet the womans husband feels stink

Chris (hubby) just added " what a F##### tosser the guy needs shooting
for doing something like that!"

I have to admit helmet complacentsey ( hows its spelt??) can be easy
to do in a driveway or carpark....

[Big Dog]

Plan a :Let her think she has won M/c lessons in a raffle (you will need to buy these with cash so there is no trace evidence and lift your prints off.) Then when she asks to borrow your gear lend her a re painted cracked helmet.

Close as you'll get with an ex in nz.

Plan B:Alternatively hook her up through an internet dating agency with the chap in the article. Even if she survives natural selection at least she's gone.

Reminds me of that story from the UK where a woman was arrested for conspiring to kill her husband using a hitman. She sold his CBR600 to get money to pay for the hit.

The editor of the article made a comment "wouldn't she have been better to
encourage her husband to ride the CBR600 a bit harder so he would end up killing himself"

[Big Dog]

.... ride the CBR600 a bit harder so he would end up killing himself"
And that would not have warranted suspicion on conspiracy? Not many women will encourage you to go harder.

:laugh: yes guys, if your wives and girlfreinds encourage you to be riding
faster, I would be verryyy suspicious if I were you. Read the above threads as a warning..... :eek:

Selling a man's motorbike, to pay for a hitman to kill him.....that's really adding insult to in jury :argh:

Just read this thing now and f*ck that pisses me off, the ignorance and stupidity. :mad:

If his intention was to kill, then well done for having the brains to get away with murder.

If my wife saw fit to sell my bike.... I'm not sure I would hide from the hitman..... although I may try to recruit him. :2guns:

Like that anecdote about (was it?) Winston Churchill. Some notable woman sarcastically remarked that if she had the misfortune to be married to him she'd poison his food. He replied that if he was married to her he'd eat it.....

[pete376403]

Winston Churchill it was, and another: This is an old classic, an exchange between Winston Churchill and Bessie Braddock. Braddock encountered Churchill after an extravagant dinner, and uttered with shock, "Winston, you're drunk." Countered Churchill: "And Bessie, you are ugly, but tomorrow morning I shall be sober."
