Wellington - Dangerous rider

[Lord Derosso]

[posted twice in error.

[Lord Derosso]

I have to just post this because tonight I saw this character again doing things that will either kill him or someone esle because of his stupidity.If you are a member then please own up.

There is some guy on a white, red and multi Fireblade Honda? whom persists in going as fast as possible Newtown Wellington. He will pass all traffic in whatever way necessary to get in front and then crack the bike up to maximum and hit the brakes just before the next lights. I establish the speed at up to 130kpm in an extremely busy shopping zone. Thoses members whom know Newtown, he has a habit of sitting on the lights outside Fish Fins and then belting it in 1st then into 2nd gear at an estimated 100kpm+ in the 50 kpm( should be 30 kpm) zone pass the supermarket where kids cross enmasse because the Newtown Macdonalds is straight across the road.

this idiot is an accident SURE to happen and if he comes off someone is very likely to be killed due to the large number of shoppers constantly in this area.

I dont go public very often but I suspect this rider is well known throughout Wellington . For those members whom think I am been a tosser then you may want to know I have been riding nearly 40 years and I am bloody concerned about this rider. I have a bad feeling something is going to happen. If you know them, please ask them to be more considerate as there is simply no way they would be able to stop if a kid runs in front of them at the speeds I have seen the last three months. Yes, it took me that long to get angry enough to post this.

Well said Derosso, don't be shy mate. Your doing the right thing :niceone:


CBR dude, no one wants to publically hammer you, just take it easy man, there is a time and a place. We all like to open it up from time to time but not ALL the time :innocent:

[crazefox]

Yip it was me i am the Newtown ghost rider

[Boob Johnson]

I have a confession to make..............




its actually me :innocent:





:laugh:

[McJim]

its actually me :innocent:


You commute from the 'naki to Wellywood every day?

No wonder you go so freakin' fast.

[Lord Derosso]

Exactly. Newtown is always full of people. I have also seen this guy around the central city doing the same thing. You can be immortal only for so long because in extremely busy roads and people areas it only takes one moment to cause a serious accident. There is no excuse for extreme speeding in busy areas. I have no problems what riders want to do out in the open spaces and at heir own risk. I have been there many many times and the legal limit hasn't stopped me from taking the pleasure of riding in its intended format BUT never at risk of kids and others.

Ghost rider - it cant be you if that bike in your profile is the same and you wouldnt post anyway. No way you can get from cowbell land to the real world so fast anyway.

Cheers.

[Mully]

Ahh there was me thinking there were two of them.

[Colapop]

An actual 'real' post from me... I've seen this guy. He will either kill himself or someone innocent - most likely both. It won't take much for him to fuck up terribly in front of the supermarket. It's not the guy that works in the Lock shop on Vivian st (or is it Ghuznee)?

A guy here in NP got taken out not long ago on a 999 Duke. I grew up around the corner from the guy in my home town & he was a well known crazy mofo on bikes, everyone said it was just a matter of time...............and that's exactly what happened, someone else took him out but only because he was going way too fast in built up traffic. He died in a firey blaze, literally :bye:

[JayRacer37]

Think i've seen this bloke going down Featherston St, to where he parks on Grey St....Certainly seems to know where the 'Brain/Throttle' reostat is located...

[Boob Johnson]

Na mate i no him he all goodHe all good? Don't think you quite get it crazefox. It's not him people are worried about.


When doing those speeds in built up area's it's the unsuspecting public that will take him out (& others, possibly kids).

No one is saying he isn't a good rider, just saying his choice of time and place could be more carefully chosen :msn-wink:








ps: that's about as diplomatic as you will get from me :shutup:

[Colapop]

I think he means the guy in the lock shop is all good, not the guy trying to kill someone

[Kendog]

Think i've seen this bloke going down Featherston St, to where he parks on Grey St....Certainly seems to know where the 'Brain/Throttle' reostat is located...

So if we know where he parks, report his plate number (so wanted to say let the air out of his tyres.)

[JayRacer37]

Can't be sure, just on a description on here...but i've seen this guy and thought he was an accident...Seen your Gix on Williston recently Kendog, Very nice..... :)

[Colapop]

Haven't seen my RF have you? It's not been stolen I was just kinda hoping someone would (and fix it up real good for me!!)

[roadracingoldfart]

The description is almost exactly the same as a dude that passed me (in a car) coming up the Paekakariki foreshore last Sun when there was a heap of cars going both ways and he split us all down the centre. I saw several cars and a van that were so pissed at him that they actually swerved at him (not good).
He was what i would call a VERY temporary road rider.

My 2 cents worth to him , grow up and keep it for the race track asshole.

[nudemetalz]

That guy who works at the lockshop is a very safe, careful rider. He's got a CBR600F
I would put money down to say it's not him.

[Slingshot]

He's got a 600RR now, has had for some time.

I've seen the guy from the lock shop a number of times, sometimes I think he pushes his luck a bit. For example, one morning on the way into Welly, just after traffic merges from Ngauranga gorge and Hutt Road he passed me on the left (lane splitting, which is fine) while I was in the fast lane, cut across directly in front of me and then for some reason overtakes the car in front of me on the right hand side, between the centre barrier and the car :scratch: Would have been a week or so later I saw him again, pulled up on the side of the road just past Murphy St off-ramp having a chat with a Mr. Plod.

And if your reading this Mr. lock shop on Vivian St, personally I don't care how you choose to ride but it pisses me off when another biker causes me grief by cutting in front of me and obviously showing no respect for anyone but himself.

:calm:

Sorry, wrong thread -don't know the other rider in Newtown.

[nudemetalz]

He's got a 600RR now, has had for some time.

ah oops, I am out of touch.

[Clockwork]

Think i've seen this bloke going down Featherston St, to where he parks on Grey St....Certainly seems to know where the 'Brain/Throttle' reostat is located...

Can't imagine why anyone commuting through Newtown would travel down Featherston St to get to Grey st.

[janno]

The thing that REALLY rips my undies about these sorts of riders is people will see them and think "effin motorcyclists - they are bloody dangerous and should all be banned/deserve every accident they get".

This guy is really not helping motorcycle safety and awareness on the roads at all and it f*cks me off that I will get lumped in with retards like him.

I hope he loses interest and takes up something safer, like knitting.

[86GSXR]

That's definitely no way to ride in congested areas alright! My Mum's in Wellington and I'd hate for her (or anyone) to get hit by this menace. Perhaps if one of you guys see his bike around town you could leave a note telling him how dangerous he is - amazing the effect a bit of peer pressure may have?

[ceebie13]

I hope he loses interest and takes up something safer.... like knitting.

Actually Janno, knitting can be extremely dangerous...all those pointy bits flying about in a blur close to your eyes! I wear old motorcycle goggles when I'm knitting...just in case. Anybody want a teacosy?

[terbang]

Good post. We should be looking after our own too. You wil probably have to dob this one in to the cops though.

[janno]

Actually Janno, knitting can be extremely dangerous...all those pointy bits flying about in a blur close to your eyes! I wear old motorcycle goggles when I'm knitting...just in case. Anybody want a teacosy?

I am a knitter extraordinaire, and have lived to tell the tale. No safety harness worn.

Knitting stops me grazing all night after dinner and is a good decompression tool. I recommend it to anyone feeling the stresses and strains of our modern lives. Amazing how simple the human brain really is . . .

[MSTRS]

A little note left on his bike saying 'To remind you not to be a cock'. I suggest attaching said note with a 6" nail....

[bistard]

I know who this guy is,but cant remember his name,he crashed outside Sawyers in Vivian street,in peak hour traffic,I estimated he was doing about 90 to 100kph,as he lost the front,skidded that far that the bike went through the intersection & stopped past The Kitchen Studio
He is a fucking menace,he is friends of the guy who runs "Streetwise" learn to ride company

[madmal64]

This guy you are talking about is definetly not the guy from the lock shop.
I think this guy may live in the Newtown area. I see him a fair bit at around 5-5.30 pm heading towards Newtown either up John St or Adelaide Rd.
He sure twists the go fast button pretty hard and I would love to be able to have a word in his shell like about his "style" or inner city riding.
It sucks!!:nono:

How long ago was this? You'd think he(she)'d have learnt?!?! So, with all this info, someone should have come up with a name, rego and address...

[Fatjim]

So its not the guy from the lockshop then.

[limbimtimwim]

It's me.

I need to get around town quick to make love to sexy ladies.

Tough job, but someone has to do it.

Do you know something we don't? Did bistard state when this twat crashed? Maybe it was 6 weeks ago...

Do the world a favour and make a note of their rego details and fill out the Traffic Complaint form (or whatever it's called) at your local Police stn. Let your taxes do some talking.

As you are in NELSON I think you shouldn't be so rightous TWIT!!

If you read the WHOLE thread you might realise that many local rider's are concerned about what is really a LOCAL problem! You might understand that NOONE CAN ID THIS TWIT. This twit is trying to kill someone on my street, my eating zone, my city. Do you think this donkey has a clear rego # donkey ass! Otherwise serious members like me would have already sorted it out by calling the cops by now. Didn't you have the brains after three whole pages of a thread that we would have done so ? DONT BE SO SMART ! DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH !

[ceebie13]

er....you'll be a tad annoyed then LD? :shutup:

[Lord Derosso]

It was meant to be annoyingly annoying but its not going to work. I haven't seen any dmage on this bike and he was around a few days ago so I am assuming the accident is recent. Oh well my apologies if the reply is overboard but when you get a bad feeling like I have still, and others have the same view from what I have read, you do tend to get a bit edgy.


Anyway, my job is done. I suspect someone will finally get a chance to talk to this guy and just see what the story is. Thanks for all the input everyone. DOH DOH...hes back again see.

[James Deuce]

I kinda don't care, and am uncomfortable with the lynch mob mentality.

Hello all its Gavin here the owner of Streetwise Driving School, Yes i know who this fella is and i have told him more times than i care to imagine to slow down as he is going to kill himself or someone else. ( Yes free training has been offered) I will contact him and have another chat outlining your concerns. Ill do the best i can but i dont hold much hope...... Feel free to PM me if you want a chat. Just for the record its not the guy from the lock shop....

[nudemetalz]

That's a great response, Streetwise.
Thanks for doing your best in this obviously very serious problem.

Even if people here don't care too much about him, it's the accident (s) he will cause, driving our rego prices up as ACC gets more and more involved, not to mention the fact he could kill some poor innocent party.

Glad it's confirmed that it's not the lockshop dude.

[stu_dog]

I kinda don't care, and am uncomfortable with the lynch mob mentality.


I agree with this comment.

People that start this type of thread are ill guided do-gooders, with to much time on their hands.

Leave it to the correct channels to deal with such issues.

:shutup:

[Coldrider]

I feel sorry for the locksmith dude.:scooter:

:shutup:


I have a name if you had taken the time to read the entire thread. I am not a ill guided do gooder and I would love to know what the correct channels are so that we can avoid the accident waiting to happen. Obviously you haven't seen this guy in action nor live in the areas where members are concerned. Have you seen Newtown in peak hour traffic? Its a main route to Island Bay and other southern zones and hes doing 100kph + along the centreline. IF you read the thread very carefully, thats if you have the time of course, you may get the impression that there are a number of very concerned people and its good to see that some are actually going to take the time, are they ill guided do gooders too then?, and actually visit this guy, and I have had private messages to this effect. Call me a ill advised do gooder idiot but no one has advised me on this subject in the first place anyway. I just posted the thread to see if A, hes a member and B, someone may be able to contact him and possiblely save his life, a kids life and certainly avoid a visit from the cops because I think theres a number of people just waiting for him to slow down enough to get a clear look at his rego. Then we will do the proper channels bullpoo. I think its important new members learn some manners before making stupid remarks.

[ceebie13]

...I think its important new members learn some manners before making stupid remarks.

hmmm...that could be said of some old members (like me) too!
:puke: oops! Pardon me.

But then again...having manners and making stupid remarks don't necessarily go together.
I mean, I was brought up to be the epitome of decorum but most of my posts are stupid remarks!

[limbimtimwim]

I think its important new members learn some manners before making stupid remarks.New, old, opinions matter the same.

[HDTboy]

I think its important new members learn some manners before making stupid remarks.

Um, his join date is in March 2005, a year before you joined.

Why not get the cops to park in the main street in a plainclothes car if you're that concerned about it?

[Streetwise]

Hello all its gavin again from Streetwise, I have had a chat with the motorcyclist concerned, I have outlined the thoughts of the kiwibiker members in this thread. I cant say if it will make a difference or not, But heres hoping.

[Slingshot]

Lord Derosso....you need to calm down, you're not doing yourself any favours by over-reacting.

Doesn't matter if you're a new or old member on here, people will have their own views.

The appropriate channel to take this further is the Police, quite obvious I would have thought.

[Colapop]

I just asked was all...

[bell]

Normally I wouldn't bother wasting my time to respond to such a tirade but as it happens I have some free time right now.


As you are in NELSON I think you shouldn't be so rightous TWIT!!

The relevance of being in Nelson seems to evade me. (sarcasm warning...) Could it be that people living in other parts of NZ may have witnessed drivers/riders doing dangerous and unsafe things in our local streets too? Goodness me, some of those people might have actually done something about those riders/drivers by filling in a Community Roadwatch (http://www.police.govt.nz/service/road/roadwatch.html) form or reporting it to their local Police station. Of course, that thought had occurred to you hadn't it LD?

Yes, I did read the entire thread LD.

"Donkey ass"! Pfft. That made me giggle a bit I must admit. Insults like that tell me almost as much about you as the info in your Profile.

Please define what a "serious member" is LD. I didn't select that box on the sign-up forms when I joined KB. I wonder if it's too late.

Regarding the clarity of his rego - take comfort in knowing that there are probably dozens of people who this rider has passed (and pissed off) that might have been able to take note of his rego. That you have failed to do so is not an indication of your eyesight or reading ability.

The final point that perhaps needs to be responded to in your post relates to the mystical change process you appear to think will happen when the Police respond to this rider. This rider does what he does for a range of reasons. I can't attest to what they are, however, I strongly suspect that a visit or 4 from the Police is not going to change the attitude of this individual toward himself and other road users.

You've successfully highlighted that it does not require manners to make stupid remarks. :clap:

Seriously, I do understand that this is something you are passionate about. In my case I wish to have a family one day and that means that I need to survive the streets of Nelson on a bicycle, motorcycle, car and as a pedestrian. Let me assure you that there are days where this is a more risky proposition than others.

[rwh]

I kinda don't care,
Me too. It makes me uncomfortable though - is this the same reason nobody did anything in all these other incidents we've been discussing recently? I know it's less serious than child abuse or whatever, but is it the same 'lack of community' issue?

and am uncomfortable with the lynch mob mentality.


Agreed entirely on that one.

1. I would love to know what the correct channels are.

3.Have you seen Newtown in peak hour traffic?

4. hes doing 100kph + along the centreline.

5.that there are a number of very concerned people and its good to see that some are actually going to take the time, and actually visit this guy.

6.and I have had private messages to this effect.

7.Call me a ill advised do gooder idiot

8. I think its important new members learn some manners before making stupid remarks.


1. Get his plate number and report your concern to the people that enforce the law concerning such matters.(you may have to clean the bus window a little to get good view out)

2. I DO live in the area, I AM a concerned member.

3. Yes, I pass through it everyday on a motorcycle.

4. This your best guess on centre line dotted with traffic islands every 30 metres.

5.Im sure he will respect your opinion,When I see him next I will pass on your concerns. He already knows my concerns.

6. Your special aren't you

7.Okay, Ive already have called you that, you added 'idiot' yourself.

8. I have been a member a year longer than yourself, my opinions are just as valid as yours.



These types of posts are the reason I dont participate more often.

[et al]

Oi - Mr Lord Derrosso. I have no problem with you raising this issue in the first place, you have exposed a menace that other people have witnessed and I am sure no one should disrespect you for reporting this to the authorities. However you lost all credibility with me when you started slagging off and name calling in reply to some of the responses - some of the stuff you have posted in reply is totally random and I respectfully suggest you tone it down a bit.

Well said et al and apologies also to bell, Jim2, et al, stu dog HDT boy and Slingshot but well done to Gavin at Streetwise and remarks in private by other members whom I would love to show but that would just be justifying my stance and causing childish feedback.

The thread was intended to be serious so there was always going to be feedback but I shouldn't have reacted after knowing really concerned LOCALS were on the case. The main thing is that positive action has occured so my intention has been completed and this thread is ended....Look after all riderss folks even if it means being PROACTIVE. Cheers.

[Hailwood]

So is it the locksmith guy???????????????????? :innocent:

[Skyryder]

Well this has been an interesting thread. Here we have a KBer that has taken the trouble to show his concerns and used KB as a means of trying to get another biker to ride in a safe manner not only for himself but other road users and what thanks does he get. Not my concern and could not care less attitude from some here. Shme on those that have criticised LD. Yes he could have potted the rider but he chose another approach.

I don't know why you think you need to apologise to me?

bistard and I have discussed this guy many times and there is nothing you can do (as Gavin from Streetwise has pointed out) to alter this guy's attitude. He's a knob. You're wasting well-intentioned concern on someone who will probably end up a greasy smear. You're not the first person to notice and you won't be the last. He should be driving a pink, lowered WRX, not riding a bike, if you get my drift.

You can't change people unless they want to change, and rounding up a posse to sort him out will just make this particular knob go harder.

Just ring the cops if you want to "do something" about it.

[ceebie13]

He's a knob.

For those of you who don't know, that's a kick-ass nutcase on a bike! :Punk:

I have seen that bike there many times! I wonder if he knows that he is this famous in little old Welly.

And the K N O B the leason he will learn will not be pleasant we can only hope he learns soon.

When someone identifies him please let me know. I need some keys cut.

Thanks for that. I am firstly not a nark and I thought at the time we might be dealing a member as there are a number whom seem to delight in being the next Ghost rRider.


Jim 2 - I apologised to you bacause you aretrying to get the message across that it had NOTHING to do with the locksmith guy...

I think the thread has been taken over by everyone wondering if its him.

I have NO idea whom everyone is going on about but I think hes becoming famous by now.

Time to die thread.

[Kendog]

I have NO idea whom everyone is going on about but I think hes becoming famous by now.

And he parks on the footpath.

[stu_dog]

1. I am firstly not a nark

2.there are a number whom seem to delight in being the next Ghost rRider.

3.I have NO idea whom everyone is going on about but I think hes becoming famous by now.

4.Time to die thread.


1. No one in this thread has labeled you as a 'Nark' (you seem to like to exaggerate), If you had gone through the correct channels you would now have a clear conscience and have remained anonymous.

2. Exactly the reason why I believe its a mistake to deal with such issues in a public forum, You run the risk of encouraging such behavior. No to mention making the person your targeting 'famous', will they really modify their riding habits, to be known from now on as the 'Reformed Newtown GhostRider'?

3.If this is reference to the 'locksmith' who was the target of speculation in this thread, how do you think he may feel about being famous for being implicated as a dangerous rider? Another reason why a vigilante approach can be more harmful than good.




I am positive Lord Drongo you had the best intentions, but in all honesty you have done more harm than good in this case. Please by all means carry on being a Do Gooder,but in future please keep your boy scout antics to actions that dont implicate, immortalize or defame others.

That's not too nice stu dog. Lord Derosso (not Drongo) didn't imply it was LockSmith Rider. In fact Colapop first suggested it.

Don't turn it into a slagging match.

1. No one in this thread has labeled you as a 'Nark' (you seem to like to exaggerate), If you had gone through the correct channels you would now have a clear conscience and have remained anonymous.

2. Exactly the reason why I believe its a mistake to deal with such issues in a public forum, You run the risk of encouraging such behavior. No to mention making the person your targeting 'famous', will they really modify their riding habits, to be known from now on as the 'Reformed Newtown GhostRider'?

3.If this is reference to the 'locksmith' who was the target of speculation in this thread, how do you think he may feel about being famous for being implicated as a dangerous rider? Another reason why a vigilante approach can be more harmful than good.




I am positive Lord Drongo you had the best intentions, but in all honesty you have done more harm than good in this case. Please by all means carry on being a Do Gooder,but in future please keep your boy scout antics to actions that dont implicate, immortalize or defame others.


Hey stu dog if your mate was going to get into his car and drive drunk would you go through the right channels and ring the cops on him or would you go up to him and stop him your self ?


I and loots of other people see what Lord Derosso has tried to do, and that's to try and let that rider know that he needs to slow down.

If I was doing things like that all the time (and I have done silly things myself)I would rather someone came up and tell me to nock it of rather than ring the cops on me.

Quite an interesting read this thread has turned out.......and I think you're quite right that it would be best to have a word with the culprit before taking it further.

Unfortunately the rider sounds like a bit of a tit who doesn't get the message.....i'm sure he's read this thread since it started and if you see him riding like a loony in the next few days........shop him :yes:

p.s. - it's not me!

If you guys actually read the thread you'd see he's been spoken to repeatedly, and I don't think anyone would admit to being his "mate".

...when there was a heap of cars going both ways and he split us all down the centre. I saw several cars and a van that were so pissed at him that they actually swerved at him (not good).

Got to say, the cagers doing that was infinitely more dangerous than what he was doing. What happened to courtesy on the roads? People used to keep to the left of their lane. They used to see a bike coming from behind and move to let him past. Now it's very much a case of us vs them.

HHHMMMMMM I wonder if this is the same Penis that passed me going down the Tukkas last weekend while I was overtaking a car????

[Bend-it]

yeah, I think it might be the locksmith guy... :dodge:

[Hailwood]

That was a key question earlier on! hahahaha:shutup:

I am glad it seems we have locked it down that it is not the locksmith....:laugh::laugh:

This thread got me wondering, I've read so many other threads about people binning their bikes I'm beginning to wonder if it is more normal to ride and fall off. So maybe we need to round up the Newtown Ghostrider and get him to run some training courses because if he's surviving carrying on like he his there might be a lot of tips to be learnt for those that ride at a more sedate speed with what should be a greater margin for error.

I am keen!!! We could call it the "Newtown Ghostrider, I am still alive and this is how I survive!"

1st session

Start in Island Bay at 7:30 and weave thru the traffic to newlands and back into the city down the motorway.

2nd session
A day on the Rimitukas preferably a beautiful warm day when the Martinbourgh fair is on!

Perhaps we could also get the locksmith guy to do a training session on home security?

While he's involved in all of this, why not?
