Shorty Street "GN-250"

[nudemetalz]

Well, here I was watching it tonight...yes I know, have to get a life.....but they had a dude on there with a GN-250. What really cracked me up was 2 things;
1. They dubbed it's engine noise for a Trumpy 650-type.
2. He put a chick on the back and they were still able to pull a burn-out when he took off. :yes:

Am I missing something? Have GN's got a heap more power since I last rode one? :shit:

[bert_is_evil]

Perhaps they got it off the guy who's selling this Honda Magna

[Oakie]

Yeah. I don't watch Shorty St (I have my standards) but Mrs Oakie and I both happened to see it while doing something else. Nearly pissed myself watching the GN on steroids.
On a grumpier note ... yay stereotyping motorcyclists again.

Did you tape it????????

I dont watch, nor have I ever watched the famous SS.............but would love to see a GN do a 2 up burnout, sounding like a trumpy!!!

[nudemetalz]

No I didn't sorry.

Yes, the stereotyping part was crap alright. Typical TV.

I like this part:


ALL HONDA BADGES REPLACED WITH HARLEY BADGES SO IT LOOKS THE PART

Arguably, being a Honda is better than being a HOG...and come on...that's like putting Porsche Boxer badges on a Toyota MR-S. :gob:

[McJim]

At the start of Blade II Good ol' Wes is fighting a coupla Vampire dudes on Ducatis ..... that sound like inline 4s!

What is the point of putting them on beautiful works of art that produce a pure symphony of sound and then overdubbing with "Land of the rising howl"?

[naughty]

I was watching ss before I went out kbrs in Tauranga (yes i do have a life). Crap acting though, and definetely didnt sound like a GN250. And the poor sucker looks like hes gona give up his bike for his girlfriend, silly bugger! Even if it is a GN 250

[Mr. Peanut]

I'm waiting for the Ebola episode, when they all start puking blood and die.

[Trudes]

I saw that too, and was pissing myself laughing!!! My GN never handled like that!!!

[Nasty]

I was watching the ole shorty and the bike I heard did not match what I saw ... Grub is like thats a GN250 .. I was like No way ... well what a pisser ... we were laughing away when the guy goes ... "I didn't get over 40" ... bloody hell with her legs around her ears for half the trip I am amazed they didn't fall off!

[NighthawkNZ]

Is it not the new watercooled Harley in disguise then? Shortland st, yep pissed of they showed the stereotype bad biker behaviour, and on another note has that english guy got aids or something? He doesn't look right to me.

[Templar]

I saw this last night as well, my gf loves it and religiously will watch it every night.

For those that missed it, you can watch it here, I think the ride is roughly half way through?

Not sure on the deal for tvnzondemand, but I think you can watch it indefinitely for next 7 days.

edit:
Think you actually have to download it to watch all of it..

That sounds like a shorty episode worth watching. Especially if the director & producers are starring in it too :dodge:

[Dooly]

WTF... errr why

Man, that bike is obscene!

This is a confusing thread, because it's ostensibly about the "GN250 on Steroids on Shitland Street", then someone throws a "whatabouttheHardlyHondaonTardMe" red herring into the mix, and we have two separate lots of crapola flying back'n'forth.:shit:

I suspect it's some Hollywood foley artist in-joke thing. Watch any piece of TV or movie with bikes, and see how many times the soundtrack changes. You'll often get a mix of two-smoke, four-stroke, singles, twins, fours, etc. in the soundtrack. PuddingPimp has several sets of "Knight Rider" DVDs, and there are bikes on a couple of them. One memorable episode I caught had what looked like an XT of low displacement, that sounded variously like a motocrosser, a Harley, a Honda CB750, an XR500, but just about never like a Yamaha.

[xwhatsit]

GN250 on Shortland St; could it have been a GN400? They look really quite similar but you might get a burnout out of one of those :D

Hilarious. I didn't know that show was still running?

Nah, definitely a GN250, oops sorry a TVNZ GNR-1000RR....

even better if it was reality tv
edit: some download it and put up some screen caps eh? us 56k'ers feel underpriviledged

Been and gone, all died then came back as zombies (explains the dead plot). But Dr Ropata wasnt a very good zombie so he looked for a role as a cop (they had to cover his face in that role though)

[BuFfY]

Oooh I love shorty street!!!!!!
But yes, the bike scene was not cool! But when Yvonne started talking about bikes.. man that was FUNNY!
The guy who rode the bike is hot... how is that not a good portrayal of a biker?

[skidMark]

a lil trick for gn 250's

is to get a 350 cc head for them i think it was off a DR350 if my memory serves me rightly

you get head bore piston etc. might need the conrod too

and bolt it on bolts straight onto a gn250 engine/box

makes em go like a dingo with a baby

SM.

[marty]

a confusing thread? how unusual on here. next we'll be talking about how much Tui tastes like bananas

[SPman]

Shit - is Shortland St still going?????

I hear, from someone in the know, that Tuis tastes like bananas........has anyone found that?

[Loosebrucesfamily]

Did you tape it????????

I dont watch, nor have I ever watched the famous SS.............but would love to see a GN do a 2 up burnout, sounding like a trumpy!!!

I'm by no means a bike expert but did watch it last night and thought it absolutely pathetic.

LOL........thank you for that link........pathetic is what i have always thought of the Shorty thing....(yep bring it on those die hard fans out there!) but to see a wee GN doing a throaty burnout would be cool :yes:
