jrandom is Prepared to Kill

[jrandom]

:Oops:

83 in a 50.

Hobsonville Rd.

$300.

Businesslike, pleasant-enough copper in a black mufti Commodore. At least he spared me the lecture.

I bow my head in shame.

[magnum]

ouch that hurts :whistle:

[Sensei]

50 demerit point to isn't it SENSEI :argh:

[Mongoose]

You evil, evil man, may your shame stay with you for a long time :mad: On the other hand, if you could have managed to find a poli or two, maybe we would ahve forgiven you :moon:

[Motu]

We told you about the black Commodore - told ya so!!!!!

[jrandom]

50 demerit point to isn't it SENSEI :argh:

40.

It's OK, my last bundle dropped off a couple of months ago. It's been a barren, demerit-point-free wilderness of $150 infringements and camera tickets for the last couple of years.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Isnt it nice to see more patrols of real policemen out there? I suppose he was out there pulling over all those tailgaters too?

[jrandom]

We told you about the black Commodore - told ya so!!!!!

If I had mirrors that did more than show me my elbows, I might have seen the black Commodore glide into range behind me after I pulled out and wrung all twenty of my ponies by the neck.

Running late to get home, you see.

Blah, blah, blah.

:brick:

Oh, well. At least a certain forum member who shall remain nameless will be enjoying the CD full of MotoGP goodness I left in his mailbox just prior...

[jrandom]

Isnt it nice to see more patrols of real policemen out there? I suppose he was out there pulling over all those tailgaters too?

Weeeeeellll... I *was* 33kph over, you know. And it was only a couple of hundred meters from a primary school, albeit at 6pm on a Friday night.

I am a Bad Man.

At least he didn't ticket me for the unwarrantably shagged rear tyre, although it received a raised eyebrow and a comment along the lines of 'you'll be taking it easy round the corners then'.

[dhunt]

Man that's got suck. I suppose it could of been worse though.

David

[jrandom]

Man that's got suck. I suppose it could of been worse though.

Yes.

I could have killed a few innocent children, dealt some P, defrauded Inland Revenue and insulted my wife's cooking.

But, fortunately, I decided not to bother with any of those this week.

[Mongoose]

Yes.

I could have killed a few innocent children, dealt some P, defrauded Inland Revenue and insulted my wife's cooking.

But, fortunately, I decided not to bother with any of those this week.

But instead of that you decided to pay some extra tax, like the great citizen you are :Punk: :scooter: :Playnice:

I bow my head in shame.Bummer! Writing out the cheque's gonna hurt! Think of the other things that $300 would buy. BUT...it happens SO easily, so don't feel too bad.:thud:

O man I feel for ya! :o :disapint: :crybaby: I really dislike Hobsonville Road. It's boringly slow and often has a van speeding camera parked somewhere. I usually avoid it on my way home from work by taking the country road down past the airbase that links up further down Hob Rd about 400m from my house.

I'm glad I read this thread cos I would have probably had a wet cd in my mailbox otherwise. Thanks for that.

[jrandom]

Bummer! Writing out the cheque's gonna hurt! Think of the other things that $300 would buy.

Oh, yes indeed. I wasn't riding on that shagged rear tyre because I *prefer* them that way, you know...

:crybaby:

[riffer]

Ouch. $300. Bet you're not popular with 'er indoors jrandom.

Attention Dr Cullen. Better amend those figures. Lets make it $7,400,000,300 surplus now...

Yeah. I prefer SH28 for a scenic route home from the shore, really.

Was going to PM you, but figured you'd read the thread and work it out... :pinch:

[jrandom]

Ouch. $300. Bet you're not popular with 'er indoors jrandom.

A-hem. Hmmmph. Cough. The ticket's, er, still in my wallet.

And, as far as I know, she doesn't read KB very often...

I'm such a wuss.


Attention Dr Cullen. Better amend those figures. Lets make it $7,400,000,300 surplus now...

You know, I worked a lot of overtime in '03 (too much, in fact). I figured out this morning that in the financial year to the end of March '04, I paid precisely enough income tax to cover two single mothers on the DPB with two kids each.

And I still don't have any of what was left to play with. :angry2:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Yes.

I could have killed a few innocent children, dealt some P, defrauded Inland Revenue and insulted my wife's cooking.

But, fortunately, I decided not to bother with any of those this week.

At least you didnt question the wisdom of focussing on speed, and you have accepted that you were prepared to kill...

[Posh Tourer :P]

it happens SO easily, so don't feel too bad.:thud:

Not on every bike it dont...... :P

Like the sig BTW

[Blakamin]

sux JR... bloody holdens!
but be happy you weren't going around somebody at the time, which happens around here lots (due to pensioners doing 23kph)
you'd think motorcycle manufacturers might come up with mirrors that show more than elbows soon... after all, we can get HP on tap, but sill cant see what happened yesterday!


i'm just ranting now coz i've been drinking beer... feel free to ignore :apint:

[Zed]

Not on every bike it dont...... :PALL of us are guilty of strolling over the legal speed limit by 20-30kms from time to time, :ride: and if you don't...are you sure you ride a motorbike (scoots excluded)?

[Jackrat]

So I guess that day off an ride up the heads is on hold for a bit huh.
I'm on Hob rd a few days each week,It should be 70k I reckon.

[Posh Tourer :P]

ALL of us are guilty of strolling over the legal speed limit by 20-30kms from time to time, :ride: and if you don't...are you sure you ride a motorbike (scoots excluded)?

Its not so much a stroll, as a definite walk or even a decent hike, at least on all the bikes I've owned...

Milky's ZXR400 is an exception to that though. It seems to like 120ish (maybe because thats where I notice it getting to and I manage not to let it go too much above). It keeps going there, and I keep saying "down boy", but it just goes back there by itself, I swear....

[MadDuck]

Sorry to put a damper on the "Feel sorry for JR" thread. BUT yes you could have taken some kid out at that speed if the ball had rolled out on the road. Or yourself and how the hell would KB survive without JR. I know I am a bit of a nana but ................

[Posh Tourer :P]

well, yes... but that could happen in any rural town with a 70kmh speed limit too... I know the speed limit is there for a (good?) reason, but accidents do happen. Sometimes there is just no getting away from it.
I'm not advocating speeding here, just trying to offer an alternative viewpoint/look a bit deeper into the "over the limit = dangerous" idea.

[Zed]

Sorry to put a damper on the "Feel sorry for JR" thread....
When I said "I feel for ya" I didn't mean in the sorry sense - I meant it like "yeah I know how much of a dork you feel like cos I been there myself". He deserves everything he gets, so do any of us if/when we get stopped! :weep:


...and how the hell would KB survive without JR...I think you have JR mixed up with SM! :baby:

[Zed]

Its not so much a stroll, as a definite walk or even a decent hike, at least on all the bikes I've owned...
...and just what bikes have you owned PT?

[Posh Tourer :P]

...and just what bikes have you owned PT?

MZ ETZ 250

Honda CB125T

BMW R65 LS

and my name is on the ownership papers for the

Kawasaki ZXR400.

Should really change that...

[MadDuck]

Dont get me wrong ....hell that is an acceptable speed in a cage and on a bike if you know what you are doing. But I kinda figure 50 kms for a reason. Maybe I am misguided ....ohh and I know the dork feeling.

Funny how when ya take ya helmet off and theres a chick how lightly the HP really are :wacko: ...oops maybe I shouldnt have mentioned that one

[Posh Tourer :P]

An interesting thought here.... Perhaps we have, by default, increased our safety standards. What were vehicles like when the speed limit was decided upon? And was there the awareness of road danger brought on by large amounts of traffic that there is now?

Meh. I'll continue to stick to pretty much the tolerance level. The system don't work if you try to rationalise your individual reasons for breaking the rules....

[stevedee]

Hey remember one thing.....most things in moderation and everything else in excess....passs the peanuttts

[MikeL]

"There but for the grace of God..."

Except that in our rush to commiserate we forget that we should really be rejoicing, because your contribution to the quota has reduced our chance of being nabbed.

And, on second thoughts, I don't think the grace of God would have helped.

[Madmax]

got one 85kmp had just put new clocks on
an old tripple (H1) the new one was in MPH
got off it though, the cop had never seen
an old kawasaki tripple, had to explane all
the left/right all up/all down gear system? :pinch:

[FROSTY]

Jeysus random--and you wanted to borrow the 1100Im guessin youl be takin it slow for awile.

[erik]

Ouch, that's expensive.
It's an easy mistake to make, going a bit fast, especially in a wide and not particularly busy (depending on what time of day it is) road like hobsonville road.
I hope your mrs isn't too mad at you.

[Lou Girardin]

I'd like to say, goddamn nit-picking IRD wanker. But I won't.
33 over is a bit much. $300 would hurt though.
Did you consider doing a runner?

[sAsLEX]

Did you consider doing a runner?

You know its only a 150cc? and unlike TS's I dont think it would be capable!

[Aucker]

Did you consider doing a runner?
is that an option we promote on KB these days Lou? you been reading that dumb thread from The One again :blink:

[Mongoose]

You know its only a 150? and unlike TS's I dont think it would be capable!

Didn't work for the dude that did well in excess of 180k down this way, still got sprung and in deeper shit, duh dumb, a) for running and b) for still getting done

[Posh Tourer :P]

is that an option we promote on KB these days Lou? you been reading that dumb thread from The One again :blink:

Oh come on, it'd be easy - You'd only have to go for about 5 minutes and the cops'd stop for a doughnut break....Even better, lead them past or through a food court....

[Posh Tourer :P]

Didn't work for the dude that did well in excess of 180k down this way, still got sprung and in deeper shit, duh dumb, a) for running and b) for still getting done

Are you suggesting that if he was smarter, he would have been able to get out of being done?

[Mr Skid]

Did you consider doing a runner?
:killingme :killingme :killingme


You know its only a 150cc? and unlike TS's I dont think it would be capable!
I reckon if JR executed his ace lane splitting skills the wrong way down the motorway he might stand a chance.. :wacko:

[Aucker]

or you could just mono past them at 99kmph and they'd never see ur rego!

this is stupid. u speed and get caught just take the punnishment like a man...and $300 big ones can cause a little pain.

[Mongoose]

Are you suggesting that if he was smarter, he would have been able to get out of being done?

Naa, still dumb, caint bet a read plate and radio, either way he was a loser :Pokey:

[spudchucka]

Good to see you are maintaining your well founded advice for those who fall foul of the law.

[scumdog]

Top marks to that man!! you play-you pay, I know $300 is a lot to cough up and could be better be used to enhance your bike etc but I dare say you knew you were stretching (bursting?) the envelope when 'the man' appeared in your mirror? :niceone:

[scumdog]

Now there is sound sensible advice!! last guy that tried it down here wrote off mums $40,000 cage and injured his younger brother - I guess he weighed that result up against a $300 ticket too?

[DEATH_INC.]

Should I start a 'how to do a runner properly' thread now? :Pokey:
Dunno'bout the fixxer but everything I've ever ridden('cept of course the old trailies)it's real easy to drift 20-30 (or 100 or so on the 12)over the limit without noticing :yes:

[Zed]

If you incorporte the use of smilies into your posts then people will know for sure whether you are joking or being serious. Besides, when did you start being humorous, all of your posts are normally dead serious aren't they Lou? :bleh:

[jrandom]

In response to the comments, attempting a runner would have been a really, really silly idea, given that:

(a) Mr Black Holden Man had oodles and oodles of time to note my rego. My mirrors are so useless that he followed me with disco lights going for a while and had to blip the siren to get my attention.

(b) The poor little FXR wouldn't be likely to hold more than 130 or so along that road, no matter how hard I tried, and I'm pretty sure an 'S' Commodore could juuuuust about keep up...

(c) 33 over is a fair cop, after all. I should take my medicine.

As suggested, the only instance where I would consider 'avoiding contact' is while filtering on the motorway. But the tactical situation during motorway filtering is such that I never need to do anything that attracts the attention of our already-overworked LEOs, in any case.

Right. Back to the interesting threads about whose birthday it is and how good Jaz looks with StoneChucker's big thing between her legs...

[MikeL]

Or we could make it compulsory to flag each post with a "THIS IS SERIOUS" or "THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY" sign.

Just to be on the safe side.

Those smilies can be tricky to interpret sometimes, you know.

Damn good attitude!! Big thumbs up :2thumbsup -pity some others that get 'pinged' don't adopt the same attitude when the get the dreaded i.o.n. : :crybaby:

[Kwaka-Kid]

Real sorry to hear jrandom, sucks dont it brother, take it easy man and try not to let it get you down! (doesnt sound like it has too much luckily.)

[spudchucka]

Well, perhaps because you are normally such a dry bugger that many would think you incapable of humour.

[Lou Girardin]

How silly of me to think that asking an FXR rider if he considered doing a runner might be funny.
Is the colonisation of our culture by Amerika also going to cost us a sense of irony?

I have a sense of humour Spud, I reply to you.

[jrandom]

How silly of me to think that asking an FXR rider if he considered doing a runner might be funny.

I could have, if there'd been stopped traffic or summat. They weren't to know.

Don't tread on my Real Biker fantasies, mister. They're all I've got.

[Lou Girardin]

Sorry, now I've pissed of both sides. I like you better jrandom, I'll stick to annoying Spud.

[spudchucka]

Get over yourself, you don't annoy me any more than a fart in an elevator.

Hmm? Pissed off? No I'm not.

Now, if you'd farted in an elevator, on the other hand... <_<

Next time try to mentally visualise Lou, it will totally change the experience for you.

[Kwaka-Kid]

so anyway boys,
*sweeps sand back into sandpit*
hows the fine payments going there jrandom? you know i heard a rumour that if you send in a cheque for like $1 more then the amount you were fined they send you back a cheque for the refund, and dont put the demerits on till you credit that... so if u never credit it, you dont get hte demerits... sounds too good to be true eh? anyone else ever heard of it ?

JR will probably wait for the 2nd reminder notice before he pays! The again, has there been any thought or mention of writing a letter to get it dismissed..."it was ONLY a 150cc your honour!"



Ps. You're not dry Lou!

Nah bro, I'll just let it fall through into the Department of Courts. They can take it out of my dole at $5 a week eh?

Chur!

[jrandom]

Actually, I just don't think it's my month.

A slight error in judgment involving 'orange', 'red', the difference between such and the involuntary actions of my throttle hand at the Nelson Street offramp this morning led to a pleasant (but, at $150, rather expensive) rendezvous with a member of our fine constabulary on an ST1100.

I think I might start swimming to work.

[marty]

one could begin to become a little disillusioned jr. maybe you should start driving a cage - they seem to get away with speeding/red lights/orange lights/driving like wankers in auckland with impunity....

[kerryg]

Well I am compelled to admit that I was treated fairly by a policeman on the weekend. I was having a little blat along SH16, as ya do, on my little red white and blue FZR600 and was caught on radar at 128km. Probably the fastest I went all day so that was a bit suck-ish but I was fairly caught. The copper told me that I was up for (I think he said) 35 demerit points and a $280 (???) fine but that he would only book me for 120km (20 demerits and $120). Just because he was feeling kindly to an aged man on a little FZR600..?? Or was it my pathetic blubbing and whining...??? So I thought, well, there is humanity in the HP after all. I guess the fact that there was another bike with me, travelling at similar speed and that I was the first one he scoped was a factor. And of course, clear roads, good conditions, warranted and WOFed bike, geriatric rider....all mitigating factors., officer...

So I returned my pillion passenger (my 11 year old daughter..yes, I know, shame on me ...) to her lovely mother (my darling ex) after cajoling her not to tell mummy and now I await the outraged phone call... :mad:


But worst of all, and most unforgivable of all, I squashed flat a little baby duckling on my way back home (it was an accident, OK??)...and now my daughter doesn't love me any more :bye:

[NC]

Ah that's nothing! Heh Try a $630 ticket...


Hehe, narh. Just stop perving at your elbows dude, sorted. :p

[NC]

But worst of all, and most unforgivable of all, I squashed flat a little baby duckling on my way back home (it was an accident, OK??)...and now my daughter doesn't love me any more :bye:


OMG!!! :( A DUCKLING!!!!!!

:crybaby:

[Posh Tourer :P]

OMG!!! :( A DUCKLING!!!!!!

:crybaby:

My record is 4, on the way to work in a car, after coming round a corner and being blinded by the sun... :bye:

[jrandom]

But worst of all, and most unforgivable of all, I squashed flat a little baby duckling on my way back home (it was an accident, OK??)...and now my daughter doesn't love me any more :bye:

A bit tangential, but I once failed a warrant because of hedgehog spines sticking out of the tyre sidewall.

Ducklings wouldn't cause so much of a problem, though.

And I think that if my daughter is still bothered by dead fluffy things at age ten, I will have to consider my parental mission a failure. :doobey:

[Storm]

With all this tax you are paying jr, have you considered maybe investing in a radar system of some description? Might save some pennies down the line? Or you could ride a :scooter: to work :)

[Coldkiwi]

And I think that if my daughter is still bothered by dead fluffy things at age ten, I will have to consider my parental mission a failure. :doobey:

lol! mate, don't be so harsh on yourself. My wifes 23 and she's still bothered by any fluffy thing thats not in the prime of its life!

I think I might start swimming to work.O well JR, wrong place at the wrong time & all that! I think I saw that same HP biker (there's only 1 on that beat isn't there?) on my way to work along the N'Western last week. As I was going past the Pt Chev on-ramp, just around the corner that cop was standing beside his bike watching the traffic like a hawk when he glued his eyes on me, and at that very moment I was splitting between two cars!! :pinch: I looked in my mirror an low & behold he mounts his bike immediately and gets in the flow of traffic about 5 cars behind me, "here we go" I thought. He followed me all the way into town (off course I was on my bestest behaviour in his sight) but never stopped me - phew! :sweatdrop He could have ticketed me but didn't. The feeling is kinda like when a police car comes screaming up behind you with his lights flashing and your heart starts beating out of control, you pull over to take your punnishment and he just screams on past...

Do you need a cash loan? ;)

[jrandom]

O well JR, wrong place at the wrong time & all that! I think I saw that same HP biker (there's only 1 on that beat isn't there?) on my way to work along the N'Western last week.

I've nodded to this same chappie, doing the same job (red light enforcement at the Nelson Street offramps) on many occasions past during my morning commute. It's about the least sensible place to run a red light in Auckland. I have no idea what was going on in my head this morning.


Do you need a cash loan? ;)

Heh. Like I said, I think I'll just let this lot fall through into the Department of Courts... I'll pay it before the second round of court costs hits. The delay is worth the extra $60 for the initial transfer. If I find any spare cash soonish, I'd rather get a new rear tyre.
