Good thing that nobody on this forum would be so disrespectful to the Police and the NZ pubic. Crazy young fool.

Aw darn it, I was just about to post that....

It weren't me - the best I could do today is give my baby a wash - on call so no bike ride for me, although it is super out there!

Not that my poor wee GN could go that fast, anyhoo....

Hope all y'all that got out for a ride were sensible like, and had a good time!

[MattRSK]

I didnt see them! Honest.

[James Deuce]

Hmm. Looks like someone hasn't sold his bike yet then.

[RantyDave]

Someone on a Kwaka 636? No idea who that might be and besides, they're so common ossifer.

BTW, I sold my 250 this arvo. Gotta get it Woffed but it's been sold.

They said it was at Kapiti - if so, considering today is the last day of the school holidays and the southbound traffic would therefore be horrendous, it's highly likely the cops were all parked on the shoulder facing southbound and the bike was heading north.

140kph? Cripes, sounds dead dangerous to me. Hell, I've been ticketed for not much less than that on a deserted stretch of road early on a Sunday morning!

Here's a good example why you should always display a licence plate. Something like this happens and people automatically assume they know who it was. It could have been any number of local bikers who don't display a licence plate, I know of at least two.

Wasnt me, they already have my bike locked away.

Perhaps more to the point the Police are going to be coming down like a ton of bricks on bikers without a plate from this point forwards.

It was nice to stretch the legs after a couple months without riding the bike. Must get around to selling it soon. But I think I've now proved my point why people like me shouldn't ride motorbikes.

That would be a good story if the cop count was right, the speed was right, and they actually did stop chasing.

I went out with the wife for about 4 hours this arvo. She was out riding her new 250 round, getting to grips with it and me on the ole 400. Can't wait till summer kicks in properly.

funny how people are supplying alibi's, anyone wanna vouch for me?

I don't know where you were but your missus makes a wicked Eggs Benedict.

Coffee was good at the Flying Fish - Martinborough Feee.

Good to see you still around!
How's the home situation?

How's the home situation?Trucking along. Still single, and can't say I'm particularly enjoying it. But it was my choice, so I live with the consequences. I had to bite the bullet sooner or later, you can't suffer mediocrity for ever.
I'm glad yesterday turned out like it did, 'cos it reinforces my decision to sell the bike. At least the biggest drama in my life at the moment is deciding what type of car to buy!

Something slow. We have a toyota echo and it's as slow as shit (but has good brakes). It also came with all sorts of things as part of the base specification, including this weird combination of letters and numbers printed on separate pieces of metal and bolted to the front and the back. I wonder what that's all about then?

one of these might keep you out of trouble!

Was a great day for a ride! Headed over to Carterton for lunch, Bit windy on the hill but was great to open it up again! I had a nasty fall skiing on Saturday and have now found the bike more comfortable than the car YAY!!

[madboy]

I'm going soft, not gay. Jazz's and Mazda2's are much more practical than Echo's, better boot space. But more likely it'll be a Mitsi Cedia wagon or a Mazda6. I want an Accord Euro but can't justify dropping $20k+ on a car, nor can I find a nice BMW 3-series convertible in the right price bracket. Those number/letter thingies don't have quite the same effect on power to weight on a 1400kg car as they do on a 170kg bike.
