Stories

[The One]

Hi, just thought I'd let everyone know of one of my adventures. I never realised the amount of cop's that are on our roads late at night.

I won't give too many details so here goes.

I was heading home one night, at around 10pm on SH1 near Somewhere . I was being law abiding until then and decided to open the bike up abit. Was cruising at 220ks, no cars around. Went past a car parked on the other side of the road. Fuck me it was the Police, 1 officer standing outside the car. (not sure wot he was doing, checking my speed probably), so in my stupidity, I kept going at that speed, whew lucky I thought.

Approached a line of traffic further up, slowed to 200k no oncoming cars, over took them, shit!! Highway patrol unit sitting in the middle of the cars, went past him (no time to stop). Red and Blues went on, so what do I do. I keep going, heart racing. Patrol unit still following, speedo reading 250k, losing the unit. Then no red and blues. Gone.

So I slow to 160k, get my composure. Whew Luuuucky. Approach some other car, then the red and blues on that car go on, "shit" I think and go flying past him at 220k, lose him. All these ones patrol units within 5 minutes of each other. And You guess it ( if you are guessing) there is another 1 waiting for me up the road, doh. Realise I'll get a beating if I stop now, off I go and lose that 1.

4 Patrol units in 15mins. couldn't believe it, in the middle of nowhere. Oh well
spose they have a job to do.

It was a good ride apart from that.

Any stories like these from riders.

Cheers :not:

[Stevo]

Sorry Mate! No story I could make up could BEAT that! How long did it take for the pulse to return to normal???????? LMAO

Besides my wee FiZzeR 250 cannot do speeds capable of outrunning cops. Doubt I would ever try

When I read this story, the word "Dickhead" shot through my head, prefaced by a strong expletive starting with F. But hey. If you want to kill youself, and perhaps a few innocent road users and give the rest of us bikers a bad name, just go for it. Just don't expect any support or sympathy from me.

[Blakamin]

The old saying is "you cant out-run a motorola"

Oh... opening your friggin eyes might help you see patrol cars!

and i'd have to agree with hitcher, and withdraw my offer of being in your video!

I'm with you on this one Hitcher. All through these threads people keep commenting how we have a bad image, now we know why.
At those sorts of speeds there aint no way a boy can see enough road at night to be safe. The head light of a bike would be no good at warning people of an approaching bike, they just aint expecting them lights to be traveling so fast,
Surely hope this is one of those stories that ends up with "Then I woke up"

I read this and then came back to see if my fertile imagination was at work or not. It wasn't.

Bench racing mark: 9/10, could have used more swear words.

In touch with reality score: 2/10, believes in the existence of the Police.

Motorcyclist's reputation enhancement score: 0.5/10, would have gotten 0 if you had been doing a 220km/hr wheelie.

Much as I, like anyone else, enjoy the feeling of acceleration, there's a time and place for it. And nightime is definitely not the place for it. You live close enough to Manfeild - I would respectfully suggest you take advantage of their track days.

I can now see the Horowhenua law enforcement will be out for the rest of us bikers for a while now.

Any of us guys that cop a speeding ticket for exceeding the limit by a small amount will probably have you to thank for it.

I'm just glad you didn't kill anyone. Save it for the track.

[Blakamin]

Fuckin A! now my trip to manfield at the end of the months screwed....
I think the world needs an "idiot-biker" forum... stickers say "come visit me in hospital or jail"

[badlieutenant]

at 120kms in remote north island I failed to see the three horses running loose on the road. Luckily they were on the right side and i missed them. filled my undies which is better than if Id hit them at 200k's. None of us are innocent but that sorta behaviour gets us all in the shit. I dont like cops giving me a hard time cause somebody else on a faster bike left them for dead. Go scare yourself on some twisties and if you find the right ones your not breaking the limit either. Your right tho, they woulda given you a beating.

[badlieutenant]

Dont know if Id run from the cops any way. the old run/fight juice does nothing in the way of performance thinking and imagine how shit youd feel if you found out some bobbie killed himself trying to catch up. Is that a cue for someone to introduce some "I hate cop" remarks ? :D

[The One]

Thanks for the feed back, yep I know it was stupid, but not reflecting on that, as who hasn't done dumb things (C'mon be honest) I'm not talking about traffic either. I don't hate cops, as they only have a job to do.

Why I did it, not sure really. But that was the worst thing I've ever done on the bike.

Guy's got any stories?? trips overseas, bad roads to avoid in NZ???

[The One]

On second thoughts, all you morons who didn't like what I did, can all F off.
I thought this site was for bikers who love to ride fast not for pussies as most of you guys seem to be.

You only live once, so go for it, and if you don't like it then piss off to the girlies web site and play with your barbie dolls, or sux on your mothers tits.

And if you don't want to be on my vid, good as you will probably bring your mums along to hold your hands.

Get a life you twats, and grow bigger balls, I think you are all a bunch of hypocrits. Shootig someone down for riding fast, thats what bikes are for fuck heads, not for going on a Sunday ride with your mama.

I know girl bikers with more guts than some of you clits. I will still be making the vid,.

THE ONE :ar15:

[Hitcher]

An extremely mature and well-reasoned response. Failure to accept responsibility for your actions and descending into a tirade of personal abuse against people who may have a differing view to yourself will make you many friends and take you far on your journey through life. Hopefully far from me and mine when we are out riding.

[k14]

Lol, no this bike site is for bikers. Nothing to do with "riding fast", or else i'm in the wrong place.

IMO if you want to make a vid and you want to put stupid stuff on it like this please don't associate it with kiwibiker in any way shape or form. Actually the best vid I think you can make is to reanact your "stunt" from the first post. Make sure you get a good shot of your number plate and make sure the speedo is in the pic. Then just upload it on here, heaps of people will love it.

Yes, bikes are for riding fast, on the track. The road has a speed limit for a reason. If you want to think that you can ride as fast as you can, stay the hell away from me.

[vifferman]

An extremely mature and well-reasoned response. I actually liked it, especially the juxtaposition of that reply against the more reasonable prior one. Sort of a "Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde" posting.
Just wish I'd brought some popcorn along.
And that popcorn wasn't so horrible.
Makes good recyclable packaging though...

There is a difference between dumb behaviour and completley dangerous, reckless use of a motorvehicle. You were obviously born without the common sense gene, is your mother your auntie by any chance??

I'll save my stories untill I can tell the one about a Levin hillbilly riding a 924 Fireblade vaporising himself at over 220 kph. Lets hope the story doesn't include the messy end to some innocent persons life as well. But rest assured the story will end with "and the rest of motorcycling universe rejoiced in the fact that this road criminal was no longer around to give them all a bad name".

OK, everyones dumped on the guy from a pretty great height. Let he who is without sin, etc.

BTW, Celtic, approximately what speeds did you get up to in Seddon Street (residential) "testing" the speedo the other night, hmmm?

Dear THE ONE

I would love to bring my Mummy along and be on your vid but i dont have a Mummy anymore cos she was killed in a car accident involving someone who thought that life was for living and liked to go fast.
But never mind, at least the guy lived the way he wanted to live, just means Mummy couldnt live her life too.
So all power to you mate, hope you live life the way you want and dont you go around worrying whose mummy gets in the way will you. After all their only good for sucking on their tits aye.
You are my my hero.

And you didn't go gloating about it afterwards either.

Just a question (and I may be wrong), but I have never actually heard of a CBR924 before. There is a 929 and a 954, but not sure about a 924. Anyone know? Maybe he has a special one of a kind model honda made specially for him.

[curious george]

I actually liked it, especially the juxtaposition of that reply against the more reasonable prior one. Sort of a "Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde" posting....

Heehee. I was thinking the same thing..
I gota sort of agree with The One though.
Plenty of people here have done silly things and posted them here.
The Ones crime was that he is new here and we dont know him.

That said, his STORY was probably just that, a story, and a pretty dumb thing to do.
I have cleaned up enough mess like Marty and Spudchuka et al have to get pissed off with riders like this, but it seems like a few pots calling kettles black me thinks......

[FzerozeroT]

Can someone please post the 'kiwibiker' speed limit? for all the backslapping that goes on around here after some group rides about how fast they are theres a hell of a lot of bitching going on.

Or is it New Zealands 'tall poppy syndrome' - (I would be fine going that fast, but he's probably a useless rider)

Unless anyone else was there to see the EXACT road, and the EXACT amount of traffic and know the riding level of that EXACT rider then lay off a bit, by his own admission "in my stupidity,"

The One - probably would have paid to leave that story till you hit the 50 post mark then no-one would have batted an eyelid.

[James Deuce]

I think the point is that none of us are without sin, but we aren't silly enought to use a public forum to brag about our "achievements". It's precisely the type of squid behaviour glorified in "extreme" stunting DVDs that this character wants to try and replicate.

For all those who think they can't be identified via this site because of your alias, it is literally five minutes work to identify the person and identify the physical location you are posting from, provided you can have a quiet chat to a techie at a Telco.

apparently they do exist. That's a fireblade in the crash pic I posted.

Looks like the some of the more moderate of the members have decided (all at the same time) to pacify the situation. Stick with us 1, sometimes we have constructive conversations.

[The One]

Enough from me I've said my bit. No offence to anyone but if you are gonna give shit then be prepared to take it as well.

Funny though, mostly all of the bikers I have met, have Go Fast stories, (Not all running from the police like me tho). Yet when I post a story, which I'm certain most bikers have gone to 200k (It's just so easy), everyone has to go to the toilet and take a great big shit.

Maybe I should of waited till I had made a few posts, but whats done is done.

Have a nice day and awesome rides!!!

Yeah good on ya!

I've heard this shit all my riding life (33 years) from the real hard men of biking! Trust me, in a couple of years you will be pushing a pram about or have taken up some other hobby and you probably won't even own a bike.

What people are objecting to is NOT your freedom to kill yourself in the manner of your choice but that you are likely to cause a horrific accident, kill an innocent, squander already stretched medical resources and harden the attitude of the front line police and the law makers and thus rob us of OUR freedom to ride how we choose!

Doing what you did requires no special talent, just luck and a big bike! Thats not sustainable in the real world. I'll tell you what!! If you are that good, take it to the track and show us what you are made of. I'll even pay your entry for you (seriously) and act as your pit crew for the day if you like! (wadda you reckon guys, anyone else want to chip in to help out the next Rossi)

[The One]

Hey Paul in NZ.

I never mentioned I was "that good" but like you said, I had luck and a big bike.

But if you want to be my crew chief I'll take your offer. hehe.

Oh and please don't ruin the name of Rossi, by saying "I'm the next Rossi" (or on the same lines} thats just being offensive to Rossi.

[Paul in NZ]

Actually..

You have a point and we should not be too pious here... We've all done dumb shit. I just would not be so ready to tell others about it.

Seriously though, please be a little more careful about where you choose to do this stuff OK!

Get a life you twats, and grow bigger balls, I think you are all a bunch of hypocrits. Shootig someone down for riding fast, thats what bikes are for fuck heads, not for going on a Sunday ride with your mama.

1)Bikes are for having fun on. I own a bike with a top speed of 168 (factory). I still do speed, occasionally. It is by far easier, cheaper and less dangerous to have fun going round corners, I suggest you try it. Find some nice twisty road and go for it. If you want to wank on about doing 250kmh and outrunning cops, feel free, but its not going to gain you any credit. FWIW, the attitude around here seems not to be about top speed (maybe you spent too much time on US bike forums?) but about cornering ability. Biking is about skill, not speed.

2)200kmh is straight out dangerous. With a wind gust, you could be off the road before you react, unless you are a professional racer with the best reaction times. Go and do what you want, but no, this site is not for bikers who want to ride fast. Open your mind a bit to the possibilities of people not thinking like you do. It is for anyone who likes 2 wheels, including touring bikes, cruisers, scooters etc etc. I guess a large number of harley riders do go out for sunday rides? But they arent real bikes huh. Just wannabe fuckers with too much money. A bit like BMW riders.

3)I would be careful how many people on this site you are calling pussies for not being fuckwits. Next time you might want to use your brain and think about what you are saying instead of just mouthing off on an internet forum.

4) In case you are wondering why i am on here, it is good fun to talk to most of the people here, pick up tips/info and occasionally meet more bikers.

Umm, if the post had been about "I fucked up" or "Dont try this at home, its, like, bad, man", no worries. Bragging about it in an attempt to gain respect is shit. I'd do my best to discourage dumb shit like that. Never mind the PC crap attitude saying dont tell someone off. The more the attitude gets out there that this sort of thing is fuckwitted, the less people will do it. I'd prefer not to be banned from B-roads when I get to Britain thanks.

Yes speeding lilke that may be fun and something some people might want to do for the adrenalin buzz, so is killing people. Feeling of power etc. Anyone read any psychology of rapists/murderers?. I'm not equating the two, but it is a similar rationale, just that society thinks worse of the second one than the first. I seem to recall that reductio ad absurdum was a valid tactic. The One, I'm not labelling you a murderer/rapist, let me make that clear.

My dumb shit moment? perhaps a few close cuts in while commuting (One forcing locked brakes), or chasing a 325i back from Piha (max speed about 150 along a straight). TBH I dont think that is dumb shit. Illegal, yes, and dangerous mostly to myself. Didnt go out of my lane, no overtaking etc...
I've put my dumb shit moment out there, you tell me whether I'm "allowed" to give this guy shit for his.

They are only words after all guys!

However TO, what you said in your afterthought post was very insulting to those you directed it at, and if you said it to their face you would definately receive a right thumping.

I understand your reaction guys, I had a member tell me to FOAD (I had to look up what it meant) when I joined this site and so I challenged to meet him to "discuss" our differences. Anyway, we never met up in the end and surprisingly we have become quite friendly now! :shifty:

Blimmin heck! High Noon in Otaki.....

Queues theme music from the Magnificent Seven

A jangle of spurs on the dusty street as the traffic melts off the main highway. A lone tumbleweed drifts across the forecourt under a too bright sun!.

The shot pulls in tight to a booted heel flipping out the sidestand (you know, in black and white so you know it's artisic, like a U2 video or summat)

Stepping from behind thier steed, our 2 helmeted gladiators face each other. An abandoned shutter swings in a sudden gust of wind and bangs loudly in the frame, neither flinch and the clap of sound only emphasises the quiet rather than filling it.

The tension in the street is as intense as

Well..

A really intense time.. (You know, like when you bought your first condoms from the chemist and were so embarassed you had to buy a comb as well, even though you were 35 and bald)

Oops- Sorry. back to the movie

Cindy lou peeps from behind the tightly drawn shades. "Git away from that window girl" growls her mother, a toothless crone, old before her time in the harsh Otaki wilderness.....

"But Maw" "I wanna see who wins" the young girl wails...

The old woman stares vacantly into the darkness, a single tear rapidly dries in the parched climate as she remembers the girls father that never came back from that forecourt ......

Reaching across she grabs Cindy Lou and looks deep into the impressionable girls soul... "Aint nobody wins out on the Forecourt you fool girl. Even if you survive this time you still loose".....

Tears form in 2 sets of eyes.

A sudden noise from the street and it's over..... For now!

Fade to black

Fade music

Sound of wind moaning mournfully through the petrol pumps...

End....

(cut the dramatics guys - kiss and make up, lifes too damn short)

[Mr Skid]

Gentlemen,

Could I suggest rather than having a stoush over whether The One is a 13 y.o. on a nifty 50 or whatever the original allegation was, might it be easier if The One could post a pic of himself next to his bike with a "I love Kiwi Biker" sign or some such.

This would satisfy the curiosity of members, and remove the need for any sort of confrontation.

Realistically, even if you did have a punch up over it, your both going to be wearing padded protective gear, and would have a hard time doing any damage to each other.

As for Mr TheOne (sorry, it feels gramatically poor to call you just 'The One') may I respectfully offer some advice?

All and sundry are welcome on these boards, indeed their strength is through the diversity of their membership. However, as in all social groupings a culture will develop. A culture will has certain rules, conventions, and unspoken understandings.

I spent a few weeks lurking to get a feeling for the culture before I started posting, and even then I did get a bit of a ribbing with some of my first posts. This is much the same as you or I would expect to occur in a social group in real life.

What I feel has happened is that you may have misjudged the culture of the group with your original post. Don't sweat it, this happens. But it's up to you what happens from here.

If you want to get along with the people on the board, then you might have to accept that the general concensus that your behaviour in this instance was not acceptable.

I'm sure you've got some slightly less dangerous stories to tell us, and if your keen to write them, I'm keen to read them.

But it's up to you how you want things to progress between yourself and other KB'ers.

oh man. it can get a bit sad at times. We all agree that The One did a bad thing. One can only hope that hes like the rest of us and learning. Speed can be tempting at times and if we were in his situation (blasting past a cop) at that speed I might even think "shit im fucked now, ill keep going". I did like his juxstapositional response and wished id brought popcorn as well (microwave stuff aint too bad) but his responses dont seem to be that of a idiot savant so lets cut him a break and leave it where it stands.
A little quote (if i remember it right) from a book i saw today, im sure someone here knows what its from, probably jrandom :D

"heres a simple test to see if your mission in life is complete. If your alive it isnt."

Gentlemen,

Could I suggest rather than having a stoush over whether The One is a 13 y.o. on a nifty 50 or whatever the original allegation was, might it be easier if The One could post a pic of himself next to his bike with a "I love Kiwi Biker" sign or some such.

This would satisfy the curiosity of members, and remove the need for any sort of confrontation.

Realistically, even if you did have a punch up over it, your both going to be wearing padded protective gear, and would have a hard time doing any damage to each other.

As for Mr TheOne (sorry, it feels gramatically poor to call you just 'The One') may I respectfully offer some advice?

All and sundry are welcome on these boards, indeed their strength is through the diversity of their membership. However, as in all social groupings a culture will develop. A culture will has certain rules, conventions, and unspoken understandings.

I spent a few weeks lurking to get a feeling for the culture before I started posting, and even then I did get a bit of a ribbing with some of my first posts. This is much the same as you or I would expect to occur in a social group in real life.

What I feel has happened is that you may have misjudged the culture of the group with your original post. Don't sweat it, this happens. But it's up to you what happens from here.

If you want to get along with the people on the board, then you might have to accept that the general concensus that your behaviour in this instance was not acceptable.

I'm sure you've got some slightly less dangerous stories to tell us, and if your keen to write them, I'm keen to read them.

But it's up to you how you want things to progress between yourself and other KB'ers.

Dear THE ONE

I would love to bring my Mummy along and be on your vid but i dont have a Mummy anymore cos she was killed in a car accident involving someone who thought that life was for living and liked to go fast.
But never mind, at least the guy lived the way he wanted to live, just means Mummy couldnt live her life too.
So all power to you mate, hope you live life the way you want and dont you go around worrying whose mummy gets in the way will you. After all their only good for sucking on their tits aye.
You are my my hero.

Signed Greenhorn
as happened in whangarei in the not-so-distant past

[marty]

lets see - 200kph past a line of cars doing 100kph. highway car ready for you, gets your rego as you go past (only 100kph difference - not hard). not to mention the next highway car up the road waiting - maybe confirmed your plate number......

let us know if you get a door knock won't ya :)

[badlieutenant]

It will make everyone feel better if they go out west (if they live in aucks ) then up via kaukapapa to welsford then out thru mangawhai to waipu (waipu straights are policed so take it easy) then shoot out to russel via the east coast (awesome views) and lots of corners, then over the ferry and thru paihia up to kaikohe and back down thru dargaville and return to aucks via kaukapakapa. will take all day and scrub your tyres all the way out. but highly recommended.
anyones else done it ? oops off topic but i think its been beaten enough, dont you ? :yes:

[Zapf]

well been there done that, if u speed its up to u, and its u who feels good and also u who'll feel the pain when u stuff up. But... if you are clever you won't have posted on a forum what you did. As there is probly a log on this forum that records the IP of the person posting, traces back to an ISP address. With proper warrents ISP will tell the cops your account details, then with your nicely written summary of your offences on this forum they'll come and cuff u up and then there won't be no fun anymore would it?

Plus in a few months time google will have probly indexed this forum, then it won't be hard to find out about you. :gob:

Aw well, back to reality, twas a mistake to make, hopefully a learning curve.
Pual. what a crack-up that posting of your was, keep 'em coming!!

[wkid_one]

Firstly - I am assuming your original post was bullshit and it was pure trolling. Travelling at anything over the speed limit on a well used and regular piece of NZ highway is nothing short of insanely stupid, and quite frankly who cares - any moron can travel at speed in a straight line.

I also think that had you kept the number of police to a realistic number, some of us may have believed you, but I think you went a little too far and way in to the realms of 'made the story up while stoned on the couch' territory. Now are you sure this didn't happen on your playstation 2 just prior to your mum telling you off for playing late on a school night?

Now to answer your points in turn


On second thoughts, all you morons who didn't like what I did, can all F off.
I thought this site was for bikers who love to ride fast not for pussies as most of you guys seem to be. If this is what you think - you better fuck off. And here is hoping you never come on a ride with me. What is your obsessions with riding fast? You have yet to prove anything. Any fuckwit can ride fast on a straight bit of state highway.....and I use fuckwit pointedly! All this proves is you are a typical straight line jockey.

I bet you own a boy racer car and use the words owned and pwned.

We are all about riding fast - just not fucken stupid.....try to find out the difference!


You only live once, so go for it, and if you don't like it then piss off to the girlies web site and play with your barbie dolls, or sux on your mothers tits.Now this is just trolling.


Get a life you twats, and grow bigger balls, I think you are all a bunch of hypocrits. Shootig someone down for riding fast, thats what bikes are for fuck heads, not for going on a Sunday ride with your mama.I think you are a little misguided here. No one on here will attest to never riding fast. However most on here know where and when to do it, and are more concerned in point to point speed, not terminal velocity. As I said above, any pillock can travel at 300kph if they so choose.......but I bet you walk your bike around the corners! Show us some pics of your chicken strips?

Quite frankly I just find you mildly amusing - in a 'playing counterstrike with 10 year olds' kinda way.

I bet you don't have a bike, and nor did the story actually occur at all.

Once you have ridden with people on here, then spin shit.....until then, just spout bullshit

[loosebruce]

I'm not one to talk as i've gapped it a few times, been caught a few times to, not something i'm proud about or brag about.
But i'm sure there are alot of people on this site who have pinned it away from the police, correct me if i'm wrong please.

But the one thing i can't understand is, if i ever get into that kinda situation i get off the MAIN road asap and park up somewhere, this carries advantages:
1. You're not risking your life or others.
2. You're not going to wirte your bike off.
3. Shorter the better

You always gotta think at that kinda speed if someone wants to pass, they (hopefully) look in their mirrors, see you miles behind and pull out, why not? The fact that you're pulling in excess of 200kph means you're be saying hello to there bumper, what did they do wrong? (apart from being in a car)

Carry on down SH1 of all the roads to be going down and stay on it, of course there are going to be more cops further on. I was riding home from welly today, got onto Gordonton Rd jus outta Hamilton and saw two HP with a kay of each other 5 km down a rego an WOF checkpoint, then a patrol guy where it meet with SH1. Twas a slow steady trip to auckland.

I'm not going to bag you for what you did The One, i just think you could've handled it a whole lot better and a whole lot safer, yes save it for the track but i know alot of guys who go fast on the road and yes it is irresponsiable (sp) (bad education) but we do it for reason's unknown, and enjoy it but there are far better roads than SH1 to be on, with less traffic and police, roads where 120-140kph is fast, the corners mate that's where it's ALL at.

Ride safe and have fun.

[Mongoose]

Just out of noseyness, are there roads up there that could hold a sustained speed for that long.We are looking at about 55k or there abouts, that is a conservative gestimate to.

Himitangi Straits you could do that speed, if there was NO wind and conditions were perfect, your bike was set up well and you were bloody lucky.

In the real world, it's usually blowing on Himitangi Straits, which is muffled somewhat by the trees on the side of the road, which create intermittent wind effects, there are cars everywhere and the road is imperfect.

Incidentally, a quick google tells me the official NZ Land Speed Record for a 2 wheeled vehicle has stood since 2 July 1955, when Russell Wright achieved 185.15 mph in Swannanoa on a Vincent Black Lightning.

Perhaps you could try and officially break the record, The One?

I am pretty sure that was been beaten by John Hepburn on a Hayabusa at 314kmh on a road about 25min this side of Invercargill about 4 years ago

After Russell Wright set that record they bolted on a third wheel and Bob Burns then set a sidecar land speed record at 155mph

I wasn't looking for any respect from this forum with that story, it was what happened one day/night, and have already been to Court. And how's this for a sux judicial system, only got $600 fine. Sad aye.

What you fail to mention here are the rules surrounding the measurement of the 'land speed' records....ie measured as an average speed between two markers 1km apart with only 3km run up and run down either side and the second pass needs to be made within 60mins and the average of these two passes are taken. This is a long long long long way from terminal velocity

There should be one before Xmas in the Wairarapa. Done on a closed road with timing lights and ambo crew on board. The run-up isn't 3K (due to the shape of the road) but last year someone got up close to 300k.

Take a look at this for last years results

Most of the people caught via this method have been identified via video footage, because most people who perform this type of stunt just can't not avoid getting their face on camera at some point. It's both an ego and a proof thing.

If other faces are identified from the tape then they can be asked to finger the person who was riding the bike.

Shouldn't matter if it's done legally as in an organised event. Guess I'll have to get a written premission from the cops and stuff but it should be cool. Can't have a speed run without showing the people riding. Be like having a tennis match with the players blacked out.

Youd need to be an incorporated club and carry liability insurance for the event.

This document will give you a good idea of the issues involved that you need to be aware of when organising an event.

Prices are $1 for each curse word, $10 a punch (not in the face, as I have to be able to film) $15 for a kick, all money will be going to Starship Hospital. Use of any other object's say around $200. Sound good??

Kirks Drain Road near Mamona Airport is helf yearly and, I think, somewhere near Wyndham. Can find out more if any one seriously want to know

I've emailed the Wairarapa guys to see when they're doing the next sprints.

Will post both here and start a new thread when I get a reply.

Last year they held them late September (a shocking day, couldn't start till after lunch cos of the cross-winds, even then they were still bad) and another lot in November - much better weather.

Wyndham is the one that we went to,but unfortunately on the day the wind and rain made it to dangerous to run the event,I was told the road we were using was where John Hepburn did his NZ record run on the Hayabusa

Hi, just thought I'd let everyone know of one of my adventures. I never realised the amount of cop's that are on our roads late at night.

I won't give too many details so here goes.

I was heading home one night, at around 10pm on SH1 near Somewhere . I was being law abiding until then and decided to open the bike up abit. Was cruising at 220ks, no cars around. Went past a car parked on the other side of the road. Fuck me it was the Police, 1 officer standing outside the car. (not sure wot he was doing, checking my speed probably), so in my stupidity, I kept going at that speed, whew lucky I thought.

Approached a line of traffic further up, slowed to 200k no oncoming cars, over took them, shit!! Highway patrol unit sitting in the middle of the cars, went past him (no time to stop). Red and Blues went on, so what do I do. I keep going, heart racing. Patrol unit still following, speedo reading 250k, losing the unit. Then no red and blues. Gone.

So I slow to 160k, get my composure. Whew Luuuucky. Approach some other car, then the red and blues on that car go on, "shit" I think and go flying past him at 220k, lose him. All these ones patrol units within 5 minutes of each other. And You guess it ( if you are guessing) there is another 1 waiting for me up the road, doh. Realise I'll get a beating if I stop now, off I go and lose that 1.

4 Patrol units in 15mins. couldn't believe it, in the middle of nowhere. Oh well
spose they have a job to do.

It was a good ride apart from that.

Any stories like these from riders.

Cheers :not:

When I read this story, the word "Dickhead" shot through my head, prefaced by a strong expletive starting with F. But hey. If you want to kill youself, and perhaps a few innocent road users and give the rest of us bikers a bad name, just go for it. Just don't expect any support or sympathy from me.

Yea I agree. Glad someone said it.

The One, you need a couple of our traffic cop members in here to describe what a motorcyclist looks like after a 200kmph crash. This is the reality

[TwoSeven]

I just read the original post - thought it was interesting. Read some of the other posts too - cant really see what your all harping on about to be honest.

These days I tend to not go so fast in public places - guess I am old and slow now, but in my yoof a different matter.

Back at the tail end of the 80s I did a computer project putting those radar cameras they have behind the grills of mufti jam-jars in the uk. They use radar scanning and can take detailed image of plates up to a klick away on a packed motorway. Coppers dont really need to chase speeders now unless they think some crime has been committed or some other such reason. Usually they will just turn up at 8am the next morning and nick you there. Not sure how it works here.

It seems that some of you consider 200kph to be fast. I know kilopoofters uses big numbers, but please - work in mph if you want to talk fast. Then go down bruntingthorpe (in the uk) on bike day and you'll meet up with the 200mph+ boys on their modded road bikes. Drag race during the day, ride the bike home at night. Heck my 250 will do 200kilopoofters if I take the restrictor out. :)

I too used to ride like a nutter, I have a little story about full throttle drag racing up the M4 (three lanes wide in each direction - dead straight) on my way to work. Used to pick two large 18 wheeler trucks that were side by side and shoot the gap between them - using the vacum of the slipsteam to slingshot the bike out the front (with a bit of luck you'd pass at about 180mph+ - they'd be doing 90mph or so). Odds on you'd get thru with a foot gap either side. Was harder to do it the wet because you couldnt see the gap. Used to shit me silly when I hit the wall at the front of the trucks, then got sucked sideways in front of them (if the bike wasnt trying to lift itself off the ground). If I got to work, i'd be covered in that icy cold sweat you get from pure fear.

I never used to be like that, but after a year or two of flinging a bike around traffic as fast as you could 12 hours per day 6 days per week in one of the worlds most busiest cities (london courier), stuff like that was the only way you could relieve the bordom of riding bikes - with cagers doing their best to make sure you werent riding them.

Thing is, now having seen the results of a few people that got it wrong - one or two fellow couriers, and getting a few years longer in the tooth, I break out in a really bad cold sweat when I even think about doing stuff like that - and its now 15 years after the fact too.

So having said that I have done all that silly stuff, I do now regret it, and thats why I am a grumpy old sod when I see the yunguns of today doing it. For some reason seeing people splatterd tends to upset me more than it used to. Especially the innocent ones that were on the receiving end.

Anyhow, if you think you are fast, or a good rider or got away with things - just realise there are people that are faster, better who do it for a living. Took me a while to realise that. There are also the people who didnt get away with it - just that once - and wont ever have a chance to try again.

I do just wish people 'd take it down the track these days. Public roads are for puttering around - enjoying the sun and watchin the chicks :)

Just my thoughts :)

I just read the original post - thought it was interesting. Read some of the other posts too - cant really see what your all harping on about to be honest.

[TwoSeven]

lol.. you could try turning your lights on. :)

I could understand if it was a dark twisty unlit road or something - but then you probably wouldnt be goin quick anyhow. But 130mph aint exactly fast now is it - these days. Its only a quick twist of the throttle over standard pommie motorway speed, or the tall end of 3rd gear on a cbr 6.

Still, considering your only sposed to be doing 60mph, doing double that is rather daft day or night - but people do it I guess.

[Artifice]

200km/hr = 55.6metres/s at that speed it will take you probably a minimum of 6 seconds to stop. or 200 metres ata good guess. if a car going the other direction chose to overtake thinking there was enough room and unable to properly judge the speed of oncoming bikes due to only 1 headlight/ not even seeing the bike as most car drivers seem to fail to see bikes all the time. my guess is you'd have to be damn lucky.

On an unlight highway? There are NO OEM light setups on motorcycles that allow a rider to see 220km/hr or 130mph into the future.

If it was a pommie motorway (I've lived there) I would say that on most of them you would be safe at those speeds. NZ is a different story. I was nearly killed by a driver on an ulight road with his lights turned off at 50km/hr or 30mph. If I'd been doing 220km/hr I'd definitely be dead and so would the people in the car.

Unlike the UK, we don't have a Nationwide motorway system, we have what would equate to your A and B roads as national highways, and a great deal of the roading infrastructure is more B road in flavour. Nailing a stray cow, and it does happen that they get onto major "highways", would be just as catastrophic at 220 as hitting another car. Cows do after all weigh more than a Daihatsu Mira.

please be more careful when u ride out there cos me and my baby brother don't want to end up dead when you hit our mummys car.
My daddy sometimes takes my out riding with him but I don't like him going fast with me
Please save your fast riding for quiet country roads.
My daddy said if you want to some time you could ride with him on his favorite road. He rides VERY VERY fast -he scares me sometimes
His road is called Pukekohe park Raceway.
Please Mr One be careful from now on

Just thinking of starting a club, would anyone be interested.

Will be called "Illegal Riders" to get membership you have to overtake a patrol car at over 200Kph. That will be free entry for the rider.

hmmm all those years ago i remember a fellow workmate trying to outrun the law back when the MOT had pursuit vehicles he was on a 650 katana i think it was.... the cop was in a worked falcon with a v8 blah de blah and guess what happen to him at 150 kms/h yep you guessed it he was forced off the road so i guess you lucky that the police aint allowed to go that fast and knock you off your bike.
Guys the police, Ambo`s and paid Fire fighters see death and carnage all the time,so do us volunteers and it never gets easier, to say we cope is just what I say ....We cope ...Barely, with munters out there killin themselves all the time, and others.
Ive been attending fatals for the past 5 years in that time i have been involved with about 12 fatals mostly cars vs trucks or cars vs cars ,and to see what happens to a person when they crash at 100 km/h I`d hate to see you at 250 km/h + the speed of anything you hit gets added to the total.
B4 anyone says it ...yes ive done some hairbrained things but never out of my riding ability and the one time i did go over 200 was at a race track , call me a nanny if ya like.
But spare a thought for the proffessionals right thru to the nurse`s and doctors and the unpaid volunteer proffesionals ,Regardless of what we think people do that is stupid ...Remember
We Will Still be there for you all at your time of need

It's an easy typo for "954", innit. Off top of head, and after Googling it myself, I'm sure there never was a 924 blade.

The likely case that he doesn't actually *have* one means that he won't be mentally cross-checking his profile against the fairing decals he looks at every morning, so he won't have figgered it out yet.

And, if he goes back and fixes it now, it makes his trollery a bit, well, obvious...

I think that wasn't the case at first (like with the 919s or whatever); they just said CBRRRRR or summat. I dunno.

Mate, the Leuven bar here in Wellington does a Belgian drop that weighs in at a heady 20%. They've also got a couple of 15% brews. I knew a dude when I was a Massey student who was a food techie who could do a 15% home brew. That's pretty much at the edge of what a home brewer can do with the range of yeasts they have available. Tastes like beer, feels like sherry... "Yay verily, here comes east, again..."

Hi, just thought I'd let everyone know of one of my adventures. I never realised the amount of cop's that are on our roads late at night.

I won't give too many details so here goes.

I was heading home one night, at around 10pm on SH1 near Somewhere . I was being law abiding until then and decided to open the bike up abit. Was cruising at 220ks, no cars around. Went past a car parked on the other side of the road. Fuck me it was the Police, 1 officer standing outside the car. (not sure wot he was doing, checking my speed probably), so in my stupidity, I kept going at that speed, whew lucky I thought.

Approached a line of traffic further up, slowed to 200k no oncoming cars, over took them, shit!! Highway patrol unit sitting in the middle of the cars, went past him (no time to stop). Red and Blues went on, so what do I do. I keep going, heart racing. Patrol unit still following, speedo reading 250k, losing the unit. Then no red and blues. Gone.

So I slow to 160k, get my composure. Whew Luuuucky. Approach some other car, then the red and blues on that car go on, "shit" I think and go flying past him at 220k, lose him. All these ones patrol units within 5 minutes of each other. And You guess it ( if you are guessing) there is another 1 waiting for me up the road, doh. Realise I'll get a beating if I stop now, off I go and lose that 1.

4 Patrol units in 15mins. couldn't believe it, in the middle of nowhere. Oh well
spose they have a job to do.

It was a good ride apart from that.

Any stories like these from riders.

Cheers :not:

[vifferman]

IS this beer stories? I will find some and come back

[vifferman]

I find this storey:

A man had been drinking for several hours in his neighborhood bar when the bartender started to close up. The drunken man got off his stool and fell to the floor. He pulled himself up on the stool, took one step toward the door and fell again. "Oh, hell. I'll crawl then," he said. He crawled to the door, pulled himself up by the doorknob, worked his way outside and fell again when he let go. He decided to crawl around the corner to his home. He pulled himself up to let himself in, managed to close the door, but fell again when he stepped toward the couch. After crawling to the couch he pulled himself up on it and went to sleep. An hour later his wife turned on the lights and woke him up.

"You've been drinking again, haven't you?" she said angrily.
"No, honey. I was out with the guys late and did not want to wake you..."
"Right," she said. "The bar just called to let me know you forgot your wheelchair."

[vifferman]

I like this storey also

BEER-DRINKING BIRD BANNED FROM PUB
A pub landlord has banned a bird from the King's Arms in Heath Common, Wakefield for stealing food and beer from customers. Landlord Alan Tate said the bird, a magpie nicknamed Thatcher, "had started walking on people's plates while they were eating and we had to refund a few meals." The bird first started pecking on the windows of the King's Arms several weeks ago and fast became popular with customers. "He got more and more used to people and started nicking beer out of pint glasses," Tate said. "His favorite is the Classic Blonde which we have on - he went mad for that. He used to squawk at people who used to hide their pints from him."

On second thoughts, all you morons who didn't like what I did, can all F off.
I thought this site was for bikers who love to ride fast not for pussies as most of you guys seem to be.

You only live once, so go for it, and if you don't like it then piss off to the girlies web site and play with your barbie dolls, or sux on your mothers tits.

And if you don't want to be on my vid, good as you will probably bring your mums along to hold your hands.

Get a life you twats, and grow bigger balls, I think you are all a bunch of hypocrits. Shootig someone down for riding fast, thats what bikes are for fuck heads, not for going on a Sunday ride with your mama.

I know girl bikers with more guts than some of you clits. I will still be making the vid,.

Reaching across she grabs Cindy Lou and looks deep into the impressionable girls soul... "Aint nobody wins out on the Forecourt you fool girl. Even if you survive this time you still loose".....

Hell Paul, you have TOO much imagination, pissed myself relating this to a 'high-noon' type movie.. :laugh: :laugh:

Welll, if the header is the bit at the top of the page, mine has a pic of a funny looking guy on a motorbike with his arse on a fat tyre, the words KIWIBIKER and the logo "a site for all New Zealand motorcyclists" so I s'pose the sky is the limit in that case? :crazy:

No but you might get a ticket...

Right, before I do the poking with a stick thing (that is, while you can still see properly), let's do a quick check (you may require a mirror for some of this):

Are you "a funny looking guy"?
Do you own, or at least ride, a bike that looks at least vaguely similar to the one pictured? If not, can you lay your hands on one like the one shown?
Does your arse look like the one in the picture? (You may need an assistant for this part).
Does the bike you are employing for the purpose of validating your admission to KiwBiker have a fat tyre? If so, does the aforementioned tyre make your arse look fat, or vice-versa?
Can you ride (or make it look like you are) in the fashion pictured?
Now here's where it gets tricky. I'm not sure how many of the above points are required for admission to the site. It may be, that you don't require all of them to be a KiwiBiker, but I suspect that if you can't answer "Yes" to all of them, then the sky may not in fact be the limit at all, and you will probably have to keep at least one of your tyres earthbound (on the road surface will do) at all times.

Dang, I miss out, - my scoot ain't yeller and I don't have a yeller helmet but otherwise pretty damn close!! sky here I come :doobey:

I too donot have all these things but i think that this might be a joke. Friestormer is not serious or I would not be alowed to be a kiwi biker.
