It's just not worth speeding anymore...

[Slingshot]

Had a conference in Otaki yesterday and today. I didn't stay so I ended up riding up and back a couple of times. Here's a summary of the HP activity:

Monday morning

Between Tawa and Porirua...HP with laser.
Raumati straights...HP with Ka
Otaki township...Ka detected but didn't see the car
There was also a speed camera but I forget the locationMonday Evening

Passing lane between Waikanae and Pram...HP with KaTuesday Morning

Again, between Tawa and Porirua (different spot though)...HP with Laser
Speed camera around Whenua Tapu
End of the Raumati straights...HP with KaTuesday Evening

Just before the weigh-station...HP with Ka
As I passed the Police College...HP with LaserSo it would seem that there's a bit of a blitz on speeding at the moment....take it easy out there people.

Obviously a bountiful harvest being collected on those roads, must have hit a vein to attract that many of the govmint's bouncers.

Well said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's what you get for living in da city.
The laser is the only concern. The Ka is no problem with the detector. Specially when in traffic.

Too true....the detector went mental a number of times and saved me a few bucks.

That's classic...I was thinking the exact same thing....you had a hair cut?

[Big Dave]

Why I ride a tractor.:yes:

[Wasp]

yea, its growing back - need another one lol

[Babelfish]

Yeah, I've noticed the increased activity too, there's definately something on out there. Loads between pram and wellybum, thought I was pinged with one yesterday morning only to realise I was actually within the limits...thats plus one to the naked factor :yes:

What a wonderful little device the V1 is ! Not fullproof, but gives an advantage.
Keep riding, just pick your moments and don't judge all policemen by the traffic branch. Gaz.

[_intense_]

yeah, gotta miss those south island roads.. 2500km round trip and we saw maybe three marked vehicals on the road, two muftis, and well camers dont really count do they?

[kiwifruit]

yep, can recommend fitting a 62mph limiter, works for me :yes:

[chanceyy]

Got to agree, most 'real' coppers you can at least talk to, HP are just scum and it doesn't matter how polite you are, they'll empty your wallet.

[slopster]

What did you expect on the main roads?

The response said efforts to reduce accidents ‘should focus on the major contributory factors’ whereas research identified exceeding the speed limit ‘as a contributory factor in only four per cent of motorcycle accidents’.

The response said the Transport Committee was also wrong to focus on high-powered motorcycles as it ‘will not address accidents involving small and medium categories’.

It added: ‘Nor would it address accidents involving any motorcycle where the speed of the motorcycle was not a factor'

[Kinje]

Saw quite a few marked and unmarked on SH2 through the rapa today. Doesn't get any better over here.

Though didn't see any on the back roads.

don't judge all Police by the HP perhaps Gaz???

[Fatjim]

Hardly ever cops between Belmont and Welly. No problem riding at any speed you feel safe. I love the horokiwi-gorge bit, never cops on the southbound lane and the surface is smooth as.

Why I ride a tractor.:yes:If that's a tractor, I'm becoming a farmer :yes:

[onearmedbandit]

If that's a tractor, I'm becoming a farmer :yes:

You do realise farmers actually have to work right?

[imdying]

That's be ghey... HWP have let me go twice now, and I know they're let you away at least the once :lol:

[Taz]

Why would you want to speed anyway?

[onearmedbandit]

We don't want. It's the bikes.

I was feeling the same Slingshot when I started this thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=43301

Today-
40 seconds onto the M/way from home and here's a Suzook owner getting handed a ticket. One of my favorite wheelie spots too..lucky for me Mr V1 was riding shotgun.
Around Whitby 10 minutes later and a marked car.
10 mins after that at Haywards, a mufti silver Holden.
Between Feathers and Martinborough there was a marked car on the usual straight hiding in the trees.
Coming back up the Takas and a marked car, and on the other side of the hill a silver Holden. Same Guy? who's knows, but we met head on around a sweeper and he flicked on his radar, probably because gravity was pulling me a bit more over than he liked. Bloody Earth's core. Always getting me into trouble like that.
As I said in the earlier thread it is the "demise of our freedom to speed RIP"
Get a P addiction. It's far more socially accepted as a responsible habit these days.

[Storm]

Well, I find that my 350 single keeps me out of trouble no worries :D:D. As Big Dave says, I can wring the life out of it without seeing mach 1 and doing myself or my licence a mischief, all whilst having a truckload of fun. Size does matter- hurrah for small bikes ! :bleh: :bleh:

Right on MD. Smoke P. Rob houses to fund the P habit and well society is to blame. Do 112kmh though!!! Oh my god you must be a spawn of Satan here to rent the fabric of society.

We call it revenue collecting. They call it policing in the name of safety! Yeah right. I call it over-policing in the name of revenue collection.
