So I had a road cone thrown at me today...

[Winter]

Fucking nutter cagers.

Riding along,minding my own business, through some roadworksie type (mt wellington quarry) and the guy in the back seat of the car in front of me leans out the window and grabs a cone (at about 40kph) and hauls it in the car..

I back off, this guys obviously run out of P and is probably about to try smoke the cone, when suddenly he decides hes had enough of sharing his seat with his rubbery friend, so he holds it out the window, and turfs it at me with some menacing look on his face. It bounces, and lands in my direct path (ie, middle of the fucking road!)

I had plenty of time to move out, due to nice big following gap, but gargh, I could murder the son of a bitch.

I sped up beside and gave a good bolloxing on the glass window with my new carbon knuckles, ripped the fingers, and he sat there with a sly smile on his face.

Rego is "NT H1S" if anybody feels like having a word if the see him.

I rode about 400k today, and it was a perfect days riding aside from this!

[jtzzr]

What a f#$kin lowlife shitbag , glad you`re ok and got the rego , I`m sure someone here could get details for you.

[fjones]

This is why I always plan to carry a small bag of P on me at all times, in case I need to calm nutty cone throwing morons down.

Seriously though glad you're ok.....

[merv]

Lucky you missed the cone. Mrs merv was riding pillion and can assure you they hurt when you hit them. Back when all the roadworks were going on up Kaitoke Hill the place was a goat track and we were coming down on the VFR the part of the road I was on was sealed but had a lot of loose shit on it. I'm riding in the right wheel track clear of shit and lean around a right hander and just managed to clip her boot on one coz it was close to the that side and I'm making sure I'm not running wide onto the centre mound of gravel and stuff. She yelled in pain and got quite a bang from the orange cone.

[Meekey_Mouse]

That sucks dude! Some people can be so retarded. Glad you're ok though :yes:

Good on you for noticing and giving yourself a good gap between you and the retarded low lives :rockon:

[Drew]

Fucktards inc. Wankers like that should be shot! After picking it up at 40k's, the guy would have had a sore arm, those things aint light. Throwing it at you is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever heard of someone doing.

I'd call the cops, even now, after the fact, that shit dont wash.

[klingon]

Those cones are heavy things - good skills to miss it!
Since you've got the rego, are you going to report them? People like this need to see some results from their idiocy.

[peanuteater]

At least youre ok-theres some real dickheads around-times like that when you wish you had steelcaps on to kick the s.o.b. s door !

[Leong]

I reckon thats just as bad as the guys dropping rocks from motorway overbridges. It's only luck that someone is/isn't killed. If you'd come off, and there was a car coming the other way....... doesn't bear thinking about. Should be reported - but I suspect nothing will be done :angry2: Glad you're OK!!

[pzkpfw]

The guy needs "the book" thrown at him.

Could you describe the car too?

(Just in case. There may be an innocent Mr or Mrs "NT HIS" [I not 1] out there somewhere.)

[Winter]

Its got some fart can on it, black or dark blue color, looked something like a honda. Has something written across the top of the rear windscreen in a graffiti style font. Don't know what it says because its illegible to me!

I've got the time, so tomorrow im going to ride down to the local cop shop for a laugh.

Possibly a "For Sale" sign with mobile number. They do this as a way to try to pick up chicks.

Definitely report him! The coppers are very anti boy racers and their dangerous antics these days!

[White trash]

this guys obviously run out of P and is probably about to try smoke the cone,


What I love, is that every moron who does something stupid nowdays, is obviously on "P".

Don't buy into media propoganda much do ya........

[Winter]

hah, I doubt he was on P, but what you want me to do? Blame his poor upbringing and the fact parents can't belt their kids?

Its just a saying / descriptive term - not meant to be taken litearly.

But then again, you already knew that - didn't you.

Opps, I better stop feeding the hungry trolls.

[Grahameeboy]

Sorry but that rego does not exist on Ltsa computer.

[Winter]

ah fuck. Must've gotten it wrong.
Doesn't matter, I doub't anythough would've come from my visit to the cops. I'll keep an eye out for that car while im out and about.

[White trash]

Its just a saying / descriptive term - not meant to be taken litearly.


Really? Then why not say he was scitzophrenic (sp), 'cause you know how those schitzos like to chuck shit around......

Or maybe he was KKK and thought you looked dark through your tinted visor.....

Or maybe he was a paedophile and thought, "Hmmmm, GSX250, must be young, here's a sweet piece of ass"..............

Or MAYBE, he was just a fuckwit who wanted to get his jollys by showing his mates how "tough" he was by chucking something at the biker.:innocent:

BTW, if you can't knock a wing mirror off with armoured knuckles on your gloves, you aint worthy of riding a Suzuki.:shutup:

[White trash]

Actually, just saw who's reading this thread and thought, maybe it was an outft swiger! They've done some pretty sick shit in the past.....

[Big Dave]

It's short for Prick <- a sentence which reminds me of you. :done:

[scumdog]

Post #17 looks like it was done by somebody on 'P' - and very likely a cone-chucker too............

[White trash]

He's got a few cones lying around too, hmmm, you've got me thinkin Scummy.

Nah, funny when you've had just the right quantity of beer, and a previously good evening turns bad, and all of a sudden ya just wanna pick an argument.

Sorry Winter, my bad.

There’s a far bit of this shit happening lately, a couple of weeks ago some clown between Christchurch and Dunedin through a full bottle of alcohol at the window of my relief driver and it hit fortunately just below the windscreen, going by one of the other guys who had a scanner, he heard on the police band that another truck had also had a bottle thrown at his truck. I’ve even had them play chicken with me twice, nothing better to do obviously.

[terbang]

So where are the cops when you need dangerous people like this sorted out..? Or is it simply easier to just get the stats up with a speed camera..?

woo hoo i was wondering how this one was going to be turned into yet another thread about cops...thanks Terbang

[Ixion]

Impossible to prove. And any offence would be a minor one (the fact that a biker could have died is irrelevant to the cops).

The loser's ricer friends will all back up his denials and in the absence of independant witnesses it's one biker's word against several cagers. Even if it were one versus one , cops will always take a cagers word over a bikers.They won't be interested.

Quite right, cagers are nice people whereas all bikers do is bin and slag cops on KB.

Deserve everything they get.

[BarBender]

Road cones, bottles...WTF!
Friend got sprayed down the Southern after work last week by a water gun filled with urine! Thats premeditated with any excuse on their part to escalate.

Fark it. Lets play then. I'm with Trashy on this. I'm hammering side mirrors.

[Macktheknife]

Don't be silly, just follow them along and make a call to some friendly KBers to come ride with you.....
Nice day for a ride, 25 bikes cruising along sedately behind a couple of shitheads in a cage, who happened to throw a traffic cone at one of our mates. Nothing happening here......

You're joking right? You call some one getting a friendly letter effective?

[Bnonn]

Enough reports will presumably get some kind of action, surely? Obviously a single report, or even multiple reports from the same witness, will not count for much. But with three or four reports from independent witnesses, most likely relating to different acts of tardness by the same person, don't the police do anything?

[sunhuntin]

farkin hell!! damn glad you had the sense to back right off. definately saved your ass. them cones are heavy...hope the fuckers got a damn sore arm!!

well done for being vigilant


and as for where the cops are....there were 5 of the suckers outside my house last night. got a POS car for something. dont think it was traffic related, cos i heard no sirens [my room faces the road, and i could hear the crap cars exhaust from over the road] not sure what was going on. lots of swearing and about 3 people taken away. 3 marked and 2 mufti cars.

Screw that, what type of car was it, that rego sounds familiar.

Road cones are a bitch lol i snapped a mirror off on one of them.

[Winter]

I dont really know what sort of car it was, next time ill pay more attention.

It was a dark colour, black or dark blue, probably a honda, graffiti style writing top of back windscreen, fart can, etc etc.

[kro]

Sorry but that rego does not exist on Ltsa computer.

Try another spelling, like DKHEAD, or TOTLFK, probably just a typo.

[Quartermile]

Dude, good to hear your ok,

But to a P ed up SOB like that you gotta watch smashing his window wouldn't be hard for that fuker to yank the wheel towards you

You must have a faulty keyboard dude. There were definitely some letters missing there. Surely you meant to type:

Oh, Nice :yes:

Bling awarded

[Winter]

hah. Well I did do the online report thingie, should hear something from them in a couple of days..

Will let you know what they say.

[Arthur]

Jeez dude - you were pretty lucky this time. Here's hoping you don't have to put up with this sort of shite again. It still amazes me how inconsiderate cagers can be - regardless of what they're smoking...

[NighthawkNZ]

"It's about as effective as trying to dowse a volcano by pissing on it."

but that works... i tried it... (it was the next morning after the night before... ) :D

That plate definitely exists - somebody owns it!

Nice of you to check GB. I was going to suggest taking a trip to the Post Shop to track the jerk and do a little late night score-settling. But that would be taking the law into one's own hands. (Tut tut.)

There's not much anyone can do now. Are you sure you got that rego right? When you've just used all your brains to stay upright it's hard to gather such info accurately.

Glad you're ok. (Wankers.....they're out there.)

[crashe]

That plate definitely exists - somebody owns it!

http://www.plates.co.nz/search/?legend=NTH1S

Hmmmmmm interesting site....
I put in my old bike rego..... the rego plate that got lost/stolen
81TOR to be told it is taken......

Like wtf.....
http://www.plates.co.nz/search/?legend=81TOR

So does that mean some one else is now using my old plate or what?

And YES, my old rego number plate was reported stolen to the police when it was noted missing.

81TOR came with the bike when I brought the bike..... it was NOT a personalised number plate either.

[Ixion]

No, it just means that number is not available for reissue. Reusing "old" numbers would have all sorts of implications. Not good ones.

[crashe]

Cheers......
Was a tad worried when I saw it was unavailable....
But at the same time thinking.......
Great I will catch the bugger that has my rego number plate.....

[Patrick]

I reckon thats just as bad as the guys dropping rocks from motorway overbridges. It's only luck that someone is/isn't killed. If you'd come off, and there was a car coming the other way....... doesn't bear thinking about. Should be reported - but I suspect nothing will be done :angry2: Glad you're OK!!

That is right... do nothing, and nothing will be done...

Report it. Simple.

[Patrick]

speed cameras aren't operated by a cop...

[FruitLooPs]

Last year my uncle whose been riding for years had some tossers on the highway throw a bottle at him going past the other way I think. :mad: Hit him square in the face broke teeth etc went to hospital for a night or two.

Luckily a copper went past right at the time, turned round and caught the w*nkers. :clap:

[Winter]

That is right... do nothing, and nothing will be done...

Yes, I have done so via the online thingiemajig.

I'm waiting to hear back from them.

Thats bloody lucky, a) that he got off with only a few broken teeth, it could have been much worse

and b) that the cops caught the fuckers, and hopefully put them in jail where they got ass raped by big bill.

[skidMark]

You're joking right? You call some one getting a friendly letter effective?


me and my mate got those once (friend was doing donuts on my bike on a grass paddock), and other friend on a scooter, so i got a letter so did my mate he thought it was so funny it is proudly pinned up on his bedroom wall.

[Winter]

Dear Mr Winter,

Recently you posted a community roadwatch report to the police.

In order to process roadwatch reports we need accurate detail of the registration number to identifu the offending vehicle together with detail concerting the time, date and place of the incident.

Unfortunatly, your report does not provide the correct make, type or colour for the vehicle you have described, and consequently, I am unable to take the matter any further.

Thank-you for providing your report and in so doing demonstrating your commitment to the ideal of improving road safety.

Yours sincerely,

Community Roadwatch Co-ordinator.


Next time.

[terbang]

speed cameras aren't operated by a cop...

Realise that and not bagging cops, more the gummint.

[terbang]

woo hoo i was wondering how this one was going to be turned into yet another thread about cops...thanks Terbang

Hang on a minute, take a search on my posts and you will see that I easily support the police and give credit where credit is due (have been red blinged for it) but I am rather suspicious of the policy makers that drive the police. Speed cameras, that don't catch pricks who drop rocks off motorways and throw cones at cars, must take up (and earn too) some of our policing budget and are a poor replacement for a person on the job.. Cop out policing in my view.

[Sanx]

It's not cop out policing - it's easy policing. Issuing traffic tickets doesn't require much in the way of effort; the perpetrators practically ctach themselves. When the Police issue their figures, tickets,f ine revenue and everything related to it are included, so that some lying cheating barsteward in government can massage the figures and claim they're "getting tough on crime". Always a vote-winner, that one.

I believe that the figures for violent crime, theft, etc. have gone up - those are much harder to solve, especially when resources are stretched. The only way to decrease cuh figures is to provide the cops with more personnel - and for the government to direct the Police to place those personnel in certain areas, not to just drop them into traffic to make their figures look even better.

Give ya some green then... but... again... speed cameras aren't manned by cops, they freed up a cop to go back out on to the street to catch crooks, rock droppers, cone throwers, maybe even write out other tickets, whatever.

[terbang]

Hmm, can't argue with that.
