[RantyDave]

A 15 year old has apparently been caught doing 154 on his restricted.

"police were becoming increasingly concerned at the enormous risks being taken by young motorists"

Hmmmmm.

Okay. fess up! Who was it and what were you riding? Not a bad speed for a 250...

'Course I don't for one minute condone speeding...

[treefrog]

didnt we all do that when we were teenagers?silly boy,oh well more revenue 4 da thought police.:bye:

[apteryx_haasti]

How can a 15 yr old be on a restricted? I thought you had to be 15 to apply for a learners, and then if under 25, 18 months on L plates....? Or do I have the system wrong?

(PS - Edbear - what makes you think he was on a 250? Coulda been riding outside his license conditions...!)

[bane]

6 months for a learners, and 18 months on restricted i think

[McJim]

I thought in a previous thread we'd established that holding a driver's licence is a right not a pivilege?...someone needs to have a wee word with bobby...uppity bobby..naughty bobby.

Remember KB is right...KB is ALWAYS right

[hXc]

6 months for a learners, and 18 months on restricted i thinkCorrect!

And most 250's will do that speed - My Spada does a bit more and that's a non-performance 4-stroke V-twin. You take a ZXR or CBR, or 2-stroke, and that's a nice cruising speed - they'll do 180km/h.

[hXc]

I thought in a previous thread we'd established that holding a driver's licence is a right not a pivilege?

Remember KB is right...KB is ALWAYS right
Yes that's true. And with every right, comes a responsibility. If you want to do that sort of speed, do it in a responsible manner (A place with long straight roads and no traffic, or a track), it's as simple as that. Some people need to grow up a bit.

Straightline speed is nothing. Hold your speed in a corner, now that's something.

[slinky]

ofcourse u speed! it was all about telling your mates the next day at school how fast you went last night!
just a shame that he had a speeding ticket to prove it :p

I like his final quote......:dodge:

Everyone has the right to apply for a licence - the privilege arises from passing the tests, and being able to afford to pay for the licence.

No one can just get a licence as of right - there are criteria.

[slinky]

but upon joining the thursday night ride on the north shore,
hav found a straight line high speed is no where near as fun or exhilerating as taking that corner at speed, n getting down low.
which i didn;t get to experience when i was 16/17 with my 250

Young motorcyclist clocked at speeds up to 154kph
28 November 2006

The actions of a youth who rode his motorcycle at speeds of up to 154kph have been described by police as "blatantly irresponsible".

The 15-year-old motorcyclist, stopped on State Highway 16 near Wellsford, north of Auckland, yesterday, told police he was unaware he was going so fast.

Highway Patrol manager Senior Sergeant Bill Russell said that about 11.30am the youth was travelling at a speed of 154kph, in a 100kph sector when he was stopped by a road policing unit.

"He only received his restricted motor cycle licence a month ago, but now because of his reckless actions he has a mandatory 28 days riding suspension," Mr Russell said.

"He will also be charged with speeding and other offences."

Mr Russell said police were becoming increasingly concerned at the enormous risks being taken by young motorists who are on the graduate drivers licence system.

"These motorcycle riders and motorists need to be vigilant in keeping to the speed limits and to their restricted licence requirements.

"There's too many who consider their individual driving abilities to be above that of others, who are far more experienced.

"Holding a driver's licence is a privilege. . . it is not a right," he said.

7.00am Tuesday November 28, 2006

A teenage motorcyclist has been grounded by police who clocked him travelling at 154km/h a month after receiving his licence.

The 15-year-old was caught on a 100km/h stretch of State Highway 16 near Wellsford on Sunday. His restricted licence was suspended for 28 days and he will be summoned to appear in court.

Police said his actions were "blatantly irresponsible".

My first reaction on reading this this morning was; Well if they had just let him get his Tonne Up he probably would have slowed down.

Myself I have not gone that fast in a very long time,the penalties suck,all the best with the wait to get your licence back.

Speeding carefully is tricky, I am old & slow & my bike would barely go that fast :). I am sure others here will give you plenty of advice!

Nice one bro. But next time try and go faster..... ;)
I wish the media wouldn't continually blow everything out of proportion.
I've done almost twice that on a few occasions and similar in a cage and would love to see the media report something along those lines......I'd probably get 6 years in Jail for it, judging by how much of a crime they see speeding as.

[gixermike]

Is it just me who thought.

"kid goes fastish in straight line..., not pissed, not nicked bike, not drugged up....nothing else happens"

thats a pretty normal cruise speed to work on a european motorway. not the brightest though...

Fark is that all. When I was 15 there were no bike size restrictions and I rode a 750 and used to ton it all the time (imperial ton), I didn't think that I was dangerous and fuck I could ride better than any of those old bastards that used to lecture me on my attitude.. And cops, Pfffftt they were fair game. My mate on his 500 was exactly the same. Like me, he was indestructable. But he never saw 16...:mellow:

This is an interesting thread. Does a young guy caught doing 150 odd Kliks on a 250 attract the heat anymore than say an old fart like me getting caught doing the same on my Busa. I thought speeding was speeding and either way (me or him) its more than 40 Kliks over so Bye Bye licence. It is interesting to note that most of us have ridden at similar or even higher speeds on that very piece of road often. Don't you think that it is all of us that are attracting the cops rather than one young fella getting caught speeding on his restricted. My only concern here is that I hope that his mentors or guardians or whatever, have or do ensure that he is well competent on a bike as the statistics are against him for a long life.

[Ixion]

Um, I guess in fairness it should be said that I have heard rumours that on Thursday nights several dozen bikers blat over the roads fairly near there at speeds well in excess of what he was doing. Maybe they might do more stirring up than one lad on his own?

Whilst the wisdom of such speeds by an inexperienced rider might be questioned, the speed itself is not inordinate for that stretch of road (well, parts of it anyway).

So anyone on here never done 154+ on their bike? Step forward!

150 isent relly that farst, my little honda beraly does 160, but i found that out in a 70k zone so i gess that isent to grate, but my uncle got snaped doin 150 in a 50 k zone, and dident get in verry deap s**t.

I got pulled over by a black holden a few days before him, for 100 in a 50, and I only got a little 'slap on the hand'. He is young, I know him (from school), and the urges to just open the throttle and 'test' your bike come to every rider, and relly, what do u expect from a 15 year old boy? ... Exactly the same as a 20 year old who just started riding!! At school most of the guys think it is a joke, and to us youngons who get the tickts it is to, shore I dont have $630 in my back pocket for my fine. but I dont relly cear eather.
:whocares:

Iwhat do u expect from a 15 year old boy? ... Exactly the same as a 20 year old who just started riding!! Actually, a lot more than that. If you're out on the road, you should be a lot more responsible than that, dipshit. Choose your places carefully or don't go that fast, simple as that. It gives the rest of us young guys a bad name mate. I'm 15, and yes I have the urges to open the throttle wide everytime I can, but I don't. Control the urge, have some responsibility. Having a lisence is a right, obeying the rules is a responsibility


At school most of the guys think it is a joke, and to us youngons who get the tickts it is to, shore I dont have $630 in my back pocket for my fine. but I dont relly cear eather.

[kermie]

he was doin 154 kmh (when he got clocked)

i will look at it haha, but im wondering is it relly worth it, or just nick mi big bros gsxr250r?

[justsomeguy]

Several bikers have done 190kmph indicated on their 250's on their learners on the road. Several bikers have done 270+ kmph on their full licenses on the road. This is nothing new.

People have been speeding on the roads for years and years.

I'm pretty darned sure about 95+ percent kiwibikers who ride (as opposed to those with no bikes, just internet connections) have at some point in their life exceeded the speed limit by :shutup: kms.

No one's innocent.

[vamr]

No one's innocent.

Here here, I would seriously doubt anyone here claiming they have not given in into impulses to either twist the throttle or step on the gas pedal.

The "safety margin" of when and where are generally an after thought for justification.

[Lou Girardin]

Yep, 154 on bike, ie, on the open road with no-one else at risk, is far more dangerous than, say, the buses on Sylvan Ave that constantly drive straight at oncoming vehicles.

I'm going to be intrested in what the magistrate has to say about the cop shepareding him up to that speed by tail gating.

[DougB]

I well remember going over 100mph back in about 1956. When I was about 17.

I had a 1000cc Vincent Rapide with a huge speedo that went up to 120mph(or was it 150?". These were the fastest things on the road in the 1950's. I did this safely on the first stretch of motorway built and opened in NZ Auckland, it was near Panmure I think.

Surely no one on this list can say they have not wanted to experience the thrill of speed. I got my Guzzi nearly up to that speed safely several times in later life. I was still young then though, I had only just turned 60.

I cant afford to risk fines now I am on the old age pension. I can just afford to register my bikes.

[Ixion]

As you all know, Nana never speeds. (Please note , site PlodPersons, and pass the word around. If you see someone resembling me apparently speeding, you will know for certain that your rader/laser is defective and you need to return to base immediately to have it fixed). So I cannot comment on the safety of such illegal speeds.

But I have a reprobate brother (he happens to look exactly like me, and , like the rulers of mediaeval Ruess, we even have the same name) .Completely different person, but.

He has reputedly (of course, it may just be a rumour) , in the GoodOldDays when the roads were much safer (i.e. Mr Plod did not have mobile radar, and played by the rules and kept off double digit highways), been known to cruise for periods of an hour or more at a time at 90-100mph, about what our young friend got pinged for . Strangely, he lived to tell the tale (unless it was a rumour) , and the sky did not fall, and no-one (not even a kitten) was harmed as a result.

Of course, Nana entirely deprecates such illegal activity. Don't do it, it is dangerous. And illegal. And irresponsible. And anti-social. And no biker would ever want to be considered any of those things, would he .

As always, two strokes are excepted. Speeding on a two stroke isn't speeding at all, it's simply responding to the inevitable laws of nature.

If i do open up my lill spada, its on the roads i live around, and only when there is no traffic. but i usally keep to going my hardest on my YZF, witch is much more fun than a road bike... it might not be as farst, but it is much harder!! =)... but i bean off that because of my wrist, soo out comes the spada, witch does do my road verry happly at 100k, being a 100 k road, i dont go over it... and better yet, there isent verry meny strights, soo its all fun in the squigles :D

hmm... am i gonna get in the paper too?

I remember back in the day on my 250 i passed a cop heading the other way on SH16 doing a tad over 130kmh and he didnt even turn around, and that was on a straight too. Needless to say that i'd maxxed the ZXR out in a couple of places along that Old North - Peak - SH16 - Wellsford route.

Back when i got the R6 i was on SH16 three days in a row. I wasnt quite on my full licence and managed X54kmh in one or two places.

In saying that though, there is a time and a place, if you get caught then take the heat. Good luck with your court case mate, judging by the timing of you getting your ticket we might be in court around the same time.

I can't believe what I'm reading.
I think you'll find that the cops were already checking the road out, or he wouldn't have been caught speeding. It sounds like the chicken and egg argument. According to the theory of evolution, it was the egg that was first, by the way.
If you truly abide by your signature line, then you have got nothing to worry or comment about. If you don't abide by it, then I think its a bit rich that you think you have the right to speed on a certain bit of road to the exclusion of everybody else just because they might attract the fuzz that was already there in the first place.

and for crashing, well, I'm just blantly worryed if someone will pull out infront of me again so in as observant of what cars are doing as I can be (unmarked cop car, sitting in a driveway is not counted, haha)... I dont wonna louse my lill spada, im happy with it, even if its not able 2 go as farst as other peoples, I'll just keep it from 'poping' on me, and ill be happy.
YAY back on my YZ400F!!!!
