BOYRACERS... Where's the bikes? Chch

[Monty69]

Im sure most of u are aware that friday nyts in chch means the streets are packed with boyracers, some with nicely modified cars (and sum f**kin shit ones) hooning rnd and cruisn, not just the 4 aves but the outskirts aswell. I used to be 1 of them till i found two wheels is more fun and attracts less attention from mr policeman. Me and my mates go out on cbr/vfr/zxr now and again but never see any other groups out. I know its a bit dangerous with half of them unlicenced, sum stoned and/or drunk and sum in illegal cars but its great fun watchn the chaos, racing, burnouts and looking at a few nice cars. oooo and then the arrests. They also usually have decent cruises organised and dont mind a few twowheelers in the mix.:chase: Are there any other bikers out on a friday night that we have misd? or is it actually just us 3 that go stir them up....

Used to a few years back, up to about a dozen of us would meet in town for the friday and Saturday night chaos. Was in town on the thou last Friday, lots of cars still but fuck all bikes.

A bunch of us used to pick off a few just for laughs and left a fair bit of rubber on Carslyle St :lol: But it was a whole different era & atmosphere back then

[No FX]

I hear in the 60's and 70's there were masses of bikes cruising around the Square, and the holy grail was to reach 100kph (or Mph?) on the longest side?

I heard it from a greybeard.

lol the late 50s & 60s the Square used to get over run with bikes, namely the Milk Bar Cowboys and Cathedral was basically like a large island but the run along the northern side from the Press corner (Worcester St to Colombo St) past Warner's Pub has always been a drag strip.
Best memory I've got was one Friday night at about 2am back in 88' waiting for a feed at "The Doghouse" and watching a V-Max huss up the rear along the entire straight before heading off towards Victoria square.

most of them are little mummies boys who are too afraid to get on bikes....... and yes their cars suck there always trying to blow me off at the lights and my suzuki vz800 easly blows them off, make you wonder why do the race around on them? i mean there 10-15 year old cars that where crap when they were new, and are even crapper now:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I always see you guys when we decide to take the car for a look not on my damn bike and then when I head out on the bikes with mates you're never in sight lol. Hit me with a txt next time you go and I'll round up the others :) (pm sent)

...make you wonder why do the race around in them?

Cos you can put your girlfriend in the back, warm and dry, and park up and
F

in comfort.
Which you could do on a bike only if you were quite organised. And had a tent. And a very tolerant girl.

Have you tried it in the back seat of a Toyota Supra, or similar ??? Boy racers must be SHORT arse's.

I think that's why Subaru Impretza station wagons are so popular among the boy racer set. You can fold the rear seats down and have a full-length mattress in there.

It would be a good night for a cruize this friday coz the AutoX show is this weekend!

[Kickaha]

Best memory I've got was one Friday night at about 2am back in 88' waiting for a feed at "The Doghouse"

Now that was a A grade shithole, full of tough guy wannabees

No doubt a "Police presence" will also be on the street.

And my first time in a car was a Ford Anglia 105E (in fact my first time ever)....I can still remember the carpet burns on my right knee and the cramp in my foot....But Fuck it was worth it

:killingme Nah it was just really DARK :lol: there were a few twats that always wanted to start something or glueys hanging around trying to bludge money,but they made the best Chilli Dogs in town though and I was usually to pissed to care just wanted a feed
It was great being within walking distance of the flat on Barbadoes St :2thumbsup

I was forgetting the flexability of youth, and you're showing your age. Harry Potter cars aren't seen much nowdays

Go the Anglias!! My mates went faster in 3rd than 4th...it was tight in there too as I remember:motu:

[HungusMaximist]

To be honest, I rather be sitting in a car than a bike If I were to 'cruise' down the main street on Friday/Sat nights.

It's something I don't do anyway but could you imagine stopping and starting every minute and then realizing your bike has started overheating.

I don't know much about ChCh but I am guessing it's the same up here in Aucks, cars sitting around Queen St, moving couple of cms a minute.

They do a few laps up and down showing off their neons or 'spinners', tooting their horn her and there and blasting a bit of hip hop in between. There's usually always your token skanky ho at the back fumbling with their big gay ass mobile phones and don't forget the drivers, they are usually seated in a position so you can just make out their baseball cap, just poking out above the dashboard.

Then they all meet up at Mc D's or KFC on Quay St have their morning feed and fill up at Mobil. Most of the time you also see them wandering around the parking lot of Foodtown as you can buy alcohol until 1am.

On friday and saturday nights I'd either be out of town to enjoy some of the great outdoors or somewhere getting pissed. Neither is compatible with my bike. :nono:

That being said, should I ever find myself bored on a friday night I would still not go cruising on my bike around town. You gave all the reasons:

1. Too many drunk and stoned drivers on the road.
2. Chaotic mayhem and testosterone fueled idiocy.
3. Strong police presence.
and here's another one:
4. I don't ride a sportsbike to cruise around town...


Have you tried it in the back seat of a Toyota Supra, or similar ??? Boy racers must be SHORT arse's.

I doubt it's the arse... :yes:


I think that's why Subaru Impretza station wagons are so popular among the boy racer set. You can fold the rear seats down and have a full-length mattress in there.

Hmmm, somehow I doubt that. We got a legacy wagon and you can't fit a full length mattress in there even with the seats down. You can in a Legnum apparently.

Now that was a A grade shithole, full of tough guy wannabees

It was cool - use to hang out there between doing laps of 'the square' in a Yank V8 of some sort or the other.
(and the hot-dogs were'nt too bad either)

As far as wannabes go - I guess it was full of 'em 'cos they never tried to scrap with me and me mates....

[scumdog]

Go the Anglias!! My mates went faster in 3rd than 4th...it was tight in there too as I remember:motu:

Still got mine, needless to say it's being modified as we speak.

And a trip to Ch-ch and back from Riviera of the South was not to be taken lightly...long story...

[Kickaha]

As far as wannabes go - I guess it was full of 'em 'cos they never tried to scrap with me and me mates....

One tried with one of my mates one night after trying to bludge smokes off him and getting told to take a hike, I think once the guy was on the ground getting a kicking he must have thought there were better ways to spend his Friday night

Then after outnumbering us 2 or 3 to 1 they were going to beat the snot out of us in press lane, until some guy who was a mate of a mate we were meeting there told them to fuck off, turn out he had gang affiliations which certainly saved our arse

[ducatilover]

i could play with the boyracers in my audi 5e gt or the 200t? both slow but jesus they sound impressive!
i try not to ride on friday and saturday nights, to many close calls with fuckwit integras and other such pot smoking drunk driving retards. what the hell is wrong with a party to get stoned and pissed at? i dont mind guys and girls showing off in their "cool" cars but sometimes they take it too far.



like driving with spinners:shutup:
that was a pointless rant

[Monty69]

oh yeah if the car show is on it will b chaos! this shuld be fun....
