Fuck the law!

[SinstaNSR]

Why is it a truck is allowed to ninety km/h on alot of roads why the hell are we only allowed to do 100. One we have better handling and 2. Better Braking. I know it's an obvious question though I think its a stupid rule. There should be specific roads for bikes to go nut's in a rural setting. Would be great!!

[Steam]

"There should be specific roads for bikes to go nut's in a rural setting. Would be great!!

Wait, um, that rings a bell... I'm sure I've heard of such things somewhere...?
Oh yeah I remember, they're called "tracks".
There are apparently several in New Zealand.

[The_Dover]

has the crack boat just docked again?

[SinstaNSR]

Tracks dont have the open road feel so yeah and cost money

[SinstaNSR]

and don't bother adding any obvisous comment's i'm saying it''s a stupid rule and would be cool if none existed though if you think there should be maybe your just affraid you couldn't keep up if there were no boundries

[Grahameeboy]

I see your point....in the same vain, why are we able to buy vehicles that can do more than double speed limit / break law, pay GST which the Govt happily accepts but we cannot speed....Irish eh?

[Grahameeboy]

has the crack boat just docked again?

You low on supplies dude.....??

[Steam]

maybe your just affraid you couldn't keep up if there were no boundries

I'm not afraid I couldn't keep up, I'm certain I couldn't, I ride a GN for crap's sake! Mahaha!

It would be nice to dedicate some roads to motorcycles, and I'd love to ride the roads myself actually, but who's going to pay? The government hates bikers in the first place, they aren't going to maintain roads for a few, even if those few number in the thousands.
Facts must be faced, there are .... ooh, a yellow Ducati just tore by outside... what was I saying? Um... oh who cares. It's teatime.

it's not you doing 200, it's farmer joe on his tractor pulling out of his driveway that'll fuck you up.

I live in one of those rural settings - would LOVE to see you meet our neighbour exiting his driveway in his Unimog while you were doing warp speed nine...

Bet the truckies just love you - most are allowed to do 100 anyway. Why don't you try picking on Harleys - it's not like they can corner or handle well and yet they are allowed to do 100.

[SlashWylde]

In Melbourne, the electronic toll booths calculate your elapsed speed. If you've been speeding on the toll way then they post you a ticket. Which is bad. :angry:

Fortunately bikes are exempt from the toll charges. So they don't have to carry a transponder ... and their speed is not recorded. Which is good. :rockon:

But they have fixed & mobile speed cameras on the toll roads. Which is bad. :angry:

[Ixion]

Why are motorcyclists not allowed to go faster than trucks. Hm, maybe because truck drivers are less inclined to "go nut's in a rural setting."

[TLDV8]

Why is it a truck is allowed to ninety km/h on alot of roads why the hell are we only allowed to do 100.

You are allowed to do any speed you want. :confused:
Last time i looked 100 kmh was the recommended maximum,with the option of faster based on the Do i feel Lucky theory which has different prizes from :first: to :third:

Errrmmm, looks like you had to pay for Helens Lunch getting nabbed on the Bombay Straights heading North to Auckland, just before Drury mate :(

They would have got you with laser where they sit on the Ramarama over bridge and sent the plainy after you.

Also watch for a Blue Commodore, a silver one, a white one and a Mazda utility vehicle. There's also a green camera van now doing the south area as well.

Can't quite make out the number plate on the red commo.

An easy solution would be to lift all speed limits for bikes and take off the ACC levies cause when we hit somthin doing 200k s plus then we are sure as f*** not goin to need ACC.

One less biker and then the government has won all round:drinknsin

Are you a rate payer?

How many other rate payers do you think would support spending the huge amount of money rerquired to build bike only roads just so that we can indulge ourselves without having to worry about trucks etc?

Go to a track day and go as hard as you want, the public roads are a system of transportation, not a playground for boys to trash their toys.

Seriously SinstaNSR jus calm down, you came on here talking shit thats the only reason people think you are a dick. There is no need to get personal. And 1km to stop a truck is very excessive from 100k, are you sure your not talking bout trains, and a small one at that.

And Winja probably would beat ya only because people have seen him ride and know his ability. No one really knows you and from the look of it you may not have been riding that long.

But it seems like your wrist is going to get the better of ya sooner or later from the way ya talking.

He didn't need a laser. :doh:

I was nearly home from a 400 k or so ride after testing some new parts. Coming down the Bombay (light traffic/mid week) i cruised past the car in question at 122 kmh it seems.... I noticed him in the mirror on the straight.
Can't complain,first ticket on a bike for years.
He clocked me for 115 kmh which was only $80/10 demerits verses lots more over 121kmh.

The speed limit is there to protect the majority of the population from a minority who don't get it.Is it fair to those that might have a clue (or think they do) perhaps not but that is the only thing that might save others due to the low driver education and licenses that are freely handed out.Maybe one day when the system is based on the European outlook.Of course they actually know how to build and maintain roads.
Think of all the city dwellers who have trouble going up and down a motorway,who then head out to the open road on weekends (Like Goofy going on holiday in a Disneyland movie) The !@#$ers can't even follow at a sensible distance let alone calculate a overtaking maneuver.They follow along like sheep bunched up. etc etc
The system is still in a mind set from the days of old British cars and lower speed limits,yet time has marched on.Nothing will change while there is the driving is my right mentality. (imho)

There's plenty of help on this site for new riders and if anyone needs help, all they have to do is ask. :)

One thing that must be nipped in the bud is people needing...wanting... having.... to prove themselves by contesting their riding abilities with others. This is a recipe for disaster no matter what type of bike you have.

If pitting your skills against another rider, superior or not, you are going to get an adrenaline rush, before, off the line and during your contest. This is going to make you ride a lot quicker than normal and you ARE going to make a mistake, bin, hurt yourself, kill yourself or someone else, if you are going to do this on the road. It is not worth it.
So what if you are better than anyone else. If you ride to prove this, you won't be a round for long so ride to your own abilities and enjoy your ride. If you feel uncomfortable on a ride, you are way past your abilities.

The simple fact is this: even if you think you are the best, there will ALWAYS be someone quicker or better.

When on a group ride, especially on twisty roads, I study whoever is in front of me and watch their lines, when they pour on the gas coming out of corners, when they brake and how hard and only then, if they know their stuff, will I even think about overtaking, knowing that by their proven lines, they are safe to overtake in twisty sections. If they are erratic and their skills aren't honed, you have to be very careful about where and when you overtake.

I have had the misfortune on a few occassions, that people who have never ridden with me have seen me on a 1400 sports tourer and think I am an old geezer out for a Sunday arvo ride. On the straights I've had people do silly speeds to get around me even though my bike will do silly speeds too, but then on the next series of twisties, I have to brake like crazy so I don't end up sitting on the pillion seat with them, or end up being cut off entering a corner as they try and take you and realise the speed you were going is about as quick as they are going to get on their sporty as well, or end up going in way to hot.

Looks are deceptive. Some people do not need the latest, fastest and blingiest bit of equipment to smoke others who do have all the goodies.

Some people change their bikes so often, they really never get to know the one they have to get the most out of it and end up being 'smoked' by oldies on some of the oldest stuff around. I've seen it happen over and over again on KB rides. Some of the oldest bikes get ridden to their limits and it's amazing what is achieved as their owners know them inside and out and what they can and can't do.

So, forget trying to prove yourself on and off line. The fastest gun slingers in the West all died before their time cos someone else came along who was better.

Rant over. ............:bye:

You referred to something silly as being IRISH - that's racism.

you then accused Finn of being RACIST...therefore Dawnrazor's comment of the pot calling the kettle black was completely pertinent. You don't have to abuse people with different coloured skin in order to be racist.

Hey - I wasn't actually having a go - You mentioned you didn't understand the "pot - kettle - black" reference and I didn't realise you were being ironic (coz yer Irish a bit) so thought I'd shed some illumination on Dawnrazor's comment.

I'll stfu now and have another beer.

You know us English plus I am a Troller!!

[Grahameeboy]

at least switch to Diet Crack.. maybe Crack Lite...




doesnt the bible also condone rape, murder and slavery???

Mmmm..no Sarge....give me 10 pressups on the double.....

[SinstaNSR]

Seriously SinstaNSR jus calm down, you came on here talking shit thats the only reason people think you are a dick. There is no need to get personal. And 1km to stop a truck is very excessive from 100k, are you sure your not talking bout trains, and a small one at that.

And Winja probably would beat ya only because people have seen him ride and know his ability. No one really knows you and from the look of it you may not have been riding that long.

But it seems like your wrist is going to get the better of ya sooner or later from the way ya talking. mate i've been riding for fifteen years just cos someone hasnt posted alot doesnt mean much, seem's like you's spend more time talking then riding

[Lou Girardin]

The bible only prohibits the act, not the thoughts so homosexuality is not completely scorned upon.

That makes it OK?
This is why for so many, Christianity is synonymous with hypocrisy.

[Wenier]

mate i've been riding for fifteen years just cos someone hasnt posted alot doesnt mean much, seem's like you's spend more time talking then riding

Ya cant come on here thou saying what ya did when no one knows you. People just think ya another one of the munters that come through every so often if ya do that.

[SinstaNSR]

tru, my bike is getting rebuilt now which im really gut'd bout as its pretty much summer and yesterday i lost my licence for 8 months.. fuck'd so things arent exactly going to plan. but will be out riding asap. PPL sorry for coming across cocky. see u on the road

[dawnrazor]

Okay..I am part Irish, seeing a Maori gal and am a Londoner so I was just seeing the funny twist side based on previous posts......it was not serious..sorry
Dude...thats the poorest excuse for an excuse I've ever heard, and for fucks sake WE ALL HAVE A BIT OF IRISH IN US, I have LOTS which makes me a good person:innocent: you are "part Irish", the question remaining to be asked is "which part?"

[SinstaNSR]

BEYOND - GOOD fucking post
Dover - LOL at school comment!!

aaron - one thinks twice about saying they know you, LOL!!! haha cameron coming from u!! crack up someone with the worst crash history on kb

[McJim]

Pureblood irish here ;)

[Squeak the Rat]

You referred to something silly as being IRISH - that's racism.

you then accused Finn of being RACIST...therefore Dawnrazor's comment of the pot calling the kettle black was completely pertinent. You don't have to abuse people with different coloured skin in order to be racist.

Glad to help - no...don't thank me...

A Scotsman defending, however remotely, the irish. I'm guessing You'll Never Walk Alone.....


Christians are all thicko dumbfucks. It's ok I can say that because I'm part christian. :rofl:

[kiwifruit]

There's plenty of help on this site for new riders and if anyone needs help, all they have to do is ask. :)

One thing that must be nipped in the bud is people needing...wanting... having.... to prove themselves by contesting their riding abilities with others. This is a recipe for disaster no matter what type of bike you have.

If pitting your skills against another rider, superior or not, you are going to get an adrenaline rush, before, off the line and during your contest. This is going to make you ride a lot quicker than normal and you ARE going to make a mistake, bin, hurt yourself, kill yourself or someone else, if you are going to do this on the road. It is not worth it.
So what if you are better than anyone else. If you ride to prove this, you won't be a round for long so ride to your own abilities and enjoy your ride. If you feel uncomfortable on a ride, you are way past your abilities.

The simple fact is this: even if you think you are the best, there will ALWAYS be someone quicker or better.

When on a group ride, especially on twisty roads, I study whoever is in front of me and watch their lines, when they pour on the gas coming out of corners, when they brake and how hard and only then, if they know their stuff, will I even think about overtaking, knowing that by their proven lines, they are safe to overtake in twisty sections. If they are erratic and their skills aren't honed, you have to be very careful about where and when you overtake.

I have had the misfortune on a few occassions, that people who have never ridden with me have seen me on a 1400 sports tourer and think I am an old geezer out for a Sunday arvo ride. On the straights I've had people do silly speeds to get around me even though my bike will do silly speeds too, but then on the next series of twisties, I have to brake like crazy so I don't end up sitting on the pillion seat with them, or end up being cut off entering a corner as they try and take you and realise the speed you were going is about as quick as they are going to get on their sporty as well, or end up going in way to hot.

Looks are deceptive. Some people do not need the latest, fastest and blingiest bit of equipment to smoke others who do have all the goodies.

Some people change their bikes so often, they really never get to know the one they have to get the most out of it and end up being 'smoked' by oldies on some of the oldest stuff around. I've seen it happen over and over again on KB rides. Some of the oldest bikes get ridden to their limits and it's amazing what is achieved as their owners know them inside and out and what they can and can't do.

So, forget trying to prove yourself on and off line. The fastest gun slingers in the West all died before their time cos someone else came along who was better.

Rant over. ............:bye:

what an awesome rant :headbang:

one trick pony is more like it LOL

[Paul in NZ]

Meh - this whole thread is founded on a lie and not worth the ether space.

I have NEVER seen a truck doing 90kph in this neck of the woods regardless of how many wheels it has. They are either doing 10kph up a hill or doing 120kph on the flat (which is quite alarming when the close up behind you and then overtake when you are in an old Toyota Starlet I can assure you)

Pointless argument....

[Forest]

Quoted for truth.

And since we're on the subject, here is my favourite article on open-road riding technique. It was written by Nick Ienatsch and appeared in Sport Rider Magazine (June 1993).



PACE YOURSELF

The street is not the track - It's a place to Pace

Two weeks go a rider died when he and his bike tumbled off a cliff paralleling our favorite road. No gravel in the lane, no oncoming car pushing him wide, no ice. The guy screwed up. Rider error. Too much enthusiasm with too little skill, and this fatality wasn't the first on this road this year. As with most single-bike accidents, the rider entered the corner at a speed his brain told him was too fast, stood the bike up and nailed the rear brake. Goodbye.

On the racetrack the rider would have tumbled into the hay bales, visited the ambulance for a strip of gauze and headed back to the pits to straighten his handlebars and think about his mistake. But let's get one thing perfectly clear: the street is not the racetrack. Using it as such will shorten your riding career and keep you from discovering the Pace. The Pace is far from street racing - and a lot more fun.

The Pace places the motorcycle in its proper role as the controlled vehicle, not the controlling vehicle. Too many riders of sport bikes become baggage when the throttle gets twisted - the ensuing speed is so overwhelming they are carried along in the rush. The Pace ignores outright speed and can be as much fun on a Ninja 250 as on a ZX-11, emphasizing rider skill over right-wrist bravado. A fool can twist the grip, but a fool has no idea how to stop or turn. Learning to stop will save your life; learning to turn will enrich it. What feels better than banking a motorcycle over into a corner?

The mechanics of turning a motorcycle involve pushing and/or pulling on the handlebars; while this isn't new information for most sport riders, realize that the force at the handlebar affects the motorcycle's rate of turn-in. Shove hard on the bars, and the bike snaps over; gently push the bars, and the bike lazily banks in. Different corners require different techniques, but as you begin to think about lines, late entrances and late apexes, turning your bike at the exact moment and reaching he precise lean angle will require firm, forceful inputs ant the handlebars. If you take less time to turn your motorcycle, you can use that time to brake more effectively or run deeper into the corner, affording yourself more time to judge the corner and a better look at any hidden surprises. It's important to look as far into the corner as possible and remember the adage, "You go where you look."

DON'T RUSH

The number-one survival skill, after mastering emergency braking, is setting your corner-entrance speed early, or as Kenny Roberts says, "Slow in, fast out." Street riders may get away with rushing into 99 out of 100 corners, but that last one will have gravel, mud or a trespassing car. Setting entrance speed early will allow you to adjust your speed and cornering line, giving you every opportunity to handle the surprise.

We've all rushed into a corner too fast and experienced not just the terror but the lack of control when trying to herd the bike into the bend. If you're fighting the brakes and trying to turn the bike, any surprise will be impossible to deal with. Setting your entrance speed early and looking into the corner allows you to determine what type of corner you're facing. Does the radius decrease? Is the turn off-camber? Is there an embankment that may have contributed some dirt to the corner?

Racers talk constantly about late braking, yet that technique is used only to pass for position during a race, not to turn a quicker lap time. Hard braking blurs the ability to judge cornering speed accurately, and most racers who rely too heavily on the brakes find themselves passed at the corner exits because they scrubbed off too much cornering speed. Additionally, braking late often forces you to trail the brakes or turn the motorcycle while still braking. While light trail braking is an excellent and useful technique to master, understand that your front tire has only a certain amount of traction to give.

If you use a majority of the front tire's traction for braking and then ask it to provide maximum cornering traction as well, a typical low-side crash will result. Also consider that your motorcycle won't steer as well with the fork fully compressed under braking. If you're constantly fighting the motorcycle while turning, it may be because you're braking too far into the corner. All these problems can be eliminated by setting your entrance speed early, an important component of running the Pace.

Since you aren't hammering the brakes at every corner entrance, your enjoyment of pure cornering will increase tremendously. You'll relish the feeling of snapping your bike into the corner and opening the throttle as early as possible. Racers talk about getting the drive started, and that's just as important on the street. Notice how the motorcycle settles down and simply works better when the throttle is open? Use a smooth, light touch on the throttle and try to get the bike driving as soon as possible in the corner, even before the apex, the tightest point of the corner. If you find yourself on the throttle ridiculously early, it's an indication you can increase your entrance speed slightly be releasing the brakes earlier.

As you sweep past the apex, you can begin to stand the bike up out of the corner. This is best done by smoothly accelerating, which will help stand the bike up. As the rear tire comes off full lean, it puts more rubber on the road, and the forces previously used for cornering traction can be converted to acceleration traction. The throttle can be rolled open as the bike stands up.

This magazine won't tell you how fast is safe; we will tell you how to go fast safely. How fast you go is your decision, but it's one that requires reflection and commitment. High speed on an empty four-lane freeway is against the law, but it's fairly safe. Fifty-five miles per hour in a canyon may be legal, but it may also be dangerous. Get together with your friends and talk about speed. Set a reasonable maximum and stick to it. Done right, the Pace is addicting without high straightaway speeds.

The group I ride with couldn't care less about outright speed between corners; any gomer can twist a throttle. If you routinely go 100 mph, we hope you routinely practice emergency stops from that speed. Keep in mind outright speed will earn a ticket that is tough to fight and painful to pay; cruising the easy straight stuff doesn't attract as much attention from the authorities and sets your speed perfectly for the next sweeper.

GROUP MENTALITY

Straights are the time to reset the ranks. The leader needs to set a pace that won't bunch up the followers, especially while leaving a stop sign or passing a car on a two-lane road. The leader must use the throttle hard to get around the car and give the rest of the group room to make the pass, yet he or she can't speed blindly along and earn a ticket for the whole group. With sane speeds on the straights, the gaps can be adjusted easily; the bikes should be spaced about two seconds apart for maximum visibility of surface hazards.

It's the group aspect of the Pace I enjoy most, watching the bikes in front of me click into a corner like a row of dominoes, or looking in my mirror as my friends slip through the same set of corners I just emerged from.

Because there's a leader and a set of rules to follow, the competitive aspect of sport riding is eliminated and that removes a tremendous amount of pressure from a young rider's ego - or even an old rider's ego. We've all felt the tug of racing while riding with friends or strangers, but the Pace takes that away and saves it for where it belongs: the racetrack. The racetrack is where you prove your speed and take chances to best your friends and rivals.

I've spend a considerable amount of time writing about the Pace (see Motorcyclist, Nov. '91) for several reasons, not the least of which being the fun I've had researching it (continuous and ongoing). But I have motivations that aren't so fun. I got scared a few years ago when Senator Danforth decided to save us from ourselves by trying to ban superbikes, soon followed by insurance companies blacklisting a variety of sport bikes. I've seen Mulholland Highway shut down because riders insisted on racing (and crashing) over a short section of it. I've seen heavy police patrols on roads that riders insist on throwing themselves off of. I've heard the term "murder-cycles" a dozen times too many. When we consider the abilities of a modern sport bike, it becomes clear that rider techniques is sorely lacking.

The Pace emphasizes intelligent, rational riding techniques that ignore racetrack heroics without sacrificing fun. The skills needed to excel on the racetrack make up the basic precepts of the Pace, excluding the mind-numbing speeds and leaving the substantially larger margin for error needed to allow for unknowns and immovable objects. Our sport faces unwanted legislation from outsiders, but a bit of throttle management from within will guarantee our future.

[Forest]

THE PACE PRINCIPLES

Set cornering speed early. Blow the entrance and you'll never recover.

Look down the road Maintaining a high visual horizon will reduce perceived speed and help you avoid panic situations.

Steer the bike quickly. There's a reason Wayne Rainey works out - turning a fast-moving motorcycle takes muscle.

Use your brakes smoothly but firmly Get on and then off the brakes; don't drag 'em.

Get the throttle on early Starting the drive settles the chassis, especially through a bumpy corner.

Never cross the centerline except to pass Crossing the centerline in a corner is an instant ticket and an admittance that you can't really steer your bike. In racing terms, your lane is your course; staying right of the line adds a significant challenge to most roads and is mandatory for sport riding's future.

Don't crowd the centerline Always expect an oncoming car with two wheels in your lane.

Don't hang off in the corners or tuck in on the straights Sitting sedately on the bike looks safer and reduces unwanted attention. It also provides a built-in safety margin.

When leading, ride for the group Good verbal communication is augmented with hand signals and turn signals; change direction and speed smoothly.

When following, ride with the group If you can't follow a leader, don't expect anyone to follow you when you're setting the pace.

Hopefully you will find something useful in this.

I find that making everyone get their cocks out to establish a pecking orde,r before you set off on a ride, eliminates the need to prove oneself.

Pffft, the Greeks weren't even smart enough to make electricity.

[Ixion]

Hm. Well, not to geneerate commercial quantities. But they were well familiar with electricity and its properties.

In fact the name comes from the Greek λεκτρον (electron) "amber"). Thales of Miletus , circa 600BC wrote upon the subject and noted that he could use electricty to produce sparks. Which a lot of the time was more than Joe Lucas could manage.

[Mr. Peanut]

Yeah, but did they make lightbulbs? Or television sets? Plato Shmato.

[Ixion]

No . No televisions. Had they done so , they would no doubt have specialised in another Greek word - εἰρωνεία (eironeia). Which nicely brings the discussion back to the sub-topic we started out at. And provides a clue.

[Mr. Peanut]

I understood the irony of that comment.

Accidents happen when you can be held accountable for them. I thought you were on about something else?

Must be time for a drink.

[Mr. Peanut]

[Rogue Rider]

There are speed limits for a reason, driver safety and protection. The roads are for the public to comute and travel on. Speed doesn't kill your right, its what you hit. Most young people get off there learners and straight onto 1000cc superbikes which are capable of 200 mph. Most of the response times of younger/ or newish riders is very defficient and most can barely handle the 100km speed limit in the event of a tricky incident or circumstance.
The other thing is our roads here completely suck. If you compare them to like the Autobahn in Germany or US highways there is just no comparison. The surfaces are a meter thick in most places and are 100% gradient and cambered. Designed for maximum performance and safety.
Our roads here are lame, and the best ones are in the south Island. My advice is stick to the limits as per the law, otherwise someone will be scraping you off the parchment or off someones car. I am not joking, If you want some visuals picture this: seen personally.... decapitated rider, crashed into rear of a parked van at 80km/ph. One arm dismembered, no head, found on car owners porch after passing through the vehicle. The interior of the car decorated by the content splatter. Yes it was a freind. Also highway crash, kawa 1000 in 1996 just passed south side of BP Autobahn before Oteha valley turn off on East Coast Bays. Rider and pillion failed to make corner hitting on coming vehicle. Car occupant killed instantly, rider in crushed and broken into peices, pillion was still alive on emargency service arrival, died at the scene at the sound of creaming children in the involved vehicle. Some may remember it as it was featured on the news and on 2020 after a huge crackdown on speeding vehicles. The rider was a collegues son, only got full lisence and just brought the bike in Queenstown and was 19, Killed himself and his best freind, not to mention the mother of the children in the on coming car.

I'm sure there are others with similar stories..... Please guys, be responsible on the roads, don't become a statistic, and go before your time. Tempting fate: eventually you will win and take the exit.

100km/ph does seem slow, but only if you ride faster, I have ridden fast before the most is 235km/ph, but there are always consequences. I have seen the fruits and decided like many to curve my habbits. If you want to go fast, save for a trip overseas, otherwise hopefully you'll wake up, before its too late.

Am I the only fuddy duddy.

[Mr. Peanut]

Yup, sobering words. NZ roads are goat tracks...

[Toaster]

We have been given the freedom to choose however we wish to live our lives. But we are never free from the consequences of those choices.

[Galaxy15]

Blame Sir Isaac Newton for the whole laser/radar/enforcement thing. If he hadn't pointed out that any force applied gives an equal and opposite reaction, the cops wouldn't have to try to stop us from hitting fixed objects at high speed. So, invent a time machine, nobble Sir I, and lets just get on with killing ourselves in stupid ways.

At least Charles Darwins theories would be true. The stupid ones of us would kill themselves, not continue the pollution of the gene pool, and idiots would have been bred out of our species by now.

[NighthawkNZ]

Why is it a truck is allowed to ninety km/h

:gob: i followed one doing 140, if not faster the other day.....

[Rogue Rider]

I have to retract my last post on this topic, I know realise speed is like a drug, if you can you will............... its very addictive..... I am by no means the fastest, but I have tasted the 200+ and it was very exciting. P.s. track days are probably best if you don't have access to private air strips....... 247 is as fast as I could fit without running out of runway. Road speeding is still not smart though, sometimes I get itchy..... and I have to scratch it.
