I finally dropped it at 200+kmph!! :(

[Motoracer]

I went for a blast with Andy1, my mate on a CBR1000 and Vladi on the R1 around the Coro loop on my Gixxer today. Everything was going real cool.

We had lunch in Coromandel or that township before that I think. Gale winds were blowing along the coast and rain was pissing down with gravel and crap around some corners. Still everything was cool. The pace was pretty insane but still we were within our comfort zones.

Comming back through the Kopu straights, we were blasting yet again, ringing the nuts off our bikes in top gear.

Hmmm... Still all was fine.

We then stopped at the Hunua petrol station to fill up just before going home. Then what happened? When I looked into my bagpack to check the time on my phone, there was nothing there! I had lost my f-king phone!!! :crybaby: I found out that my bagpack had developed a hole on it's side where the stiching had come undone because of wind resistance. The phone must have sliped off at the straights where I was redlining the bike in 6th gear.

Damn, I had just got that lil beauty from Singapore 1 mo ago too (It's still not available in NZ at the moment I think) and just last night I had put $40 in credit to "take advantage" of that double top up shit! Argh! :(

I was just letting you guys know to not bother ringing or texting me on my number as I have lost that number and all the contacts in it as well. I'll let yous know when I get a replacement phone.

Damn, that sux :(

[aff-man]

Shit mate that really sux ........ but the thread title makes it sound like something a lot worse happened :eek: :killingme :killingme :killingme

[Riff Raff]

Shit mate that really sux ........ but the thread title makes it sound like something a lot worse happened :
I was a bit worried there for a sec, but at least you got our attention!

[James Deuce]

That's definitely a smack in the face earned at first meeting for that thread title!

Sheesh.

I wish I could lose my phone that way.

Thank goodness the content didn't match the title in any meaningful way, and you're OK.

[warren35]

Shit bad luck alright dude i guess that really was a mobile phone.

[Joni]

Hm, the thread title got me freaked out too for a second!!!
Glad you ok, the phone can be replaced.

:niceone:

[Two Smoker]

LMAO, legend Sudeep....

[andy1]

That sucks Bro!

I dont think u should wear that bag anymore!! :no:

Peace.

[Firefight]

hey Man, yep, way to go, sorry :argh: ( :mobile: no more) about your phone,twas a bit of shit anyway, I could never hear a word you said on it, maybe Santa will get ya a new one.... Sounds like you guys had a good ride anyway...

F/F :wacko:

[Racey Rider]

[Wellyman]

Bad luck dude. I need a new phone! I have been looking but nothing cheap and good is on the market.

[SPORK]

I just got a good cheap one. GTran 4020. Can't get them new, but for their features, they are dirt cheap.

[Shade]

Man, gave me a heart attack, was just picturing a 200km/h crash on public roads..... *thinks of curbs, trees, cars, etc*

:shit:

[Motoracer]

Oh ooops, sorry to get you worried guys.:Oops:

Turns out it wasn't a total loss. Infact I have been sujested of a way to claim on it through house and contents insurance and paparazi has told me that I can still get my old number and credit back.

I feel all better now! :sunny:

One thing that I will do is fix up my old shitty nokia and take that on the rides. Oh yea, I'll burn that stupid bagpack and get a nice and strong streamlined one too.

Cheers for the advise and concerns! :grouphug:

[loosebruce]

:killingme Been down that road before, was doing a speed too fast for the road when my back pack unclipped and flew off somehow managed to reach back and grap it (fluke) thinking to myself shit that was lucky only to find that my nice new GX10, me sunnies, and wallet had gone awol from my bag :doh: , went back and found my wallet thank god, found my phone, well um one bit of it, then found the other five bits :disapint: the sunnies lost and never found.

Personally now i try not to take a back pack and if i do it gets bungie netted to the pillion seat, and the zips are taped up.

But bummer all the same on the loss bro

[ajturbo]

just got in from a 355km ride ...to find my pocket OPEN on my leather jacket...where my cell STILL IS!!!!!! :sweatdrop
you could have seen my heart thumping, till i realized that it was still there!:sweatdrop

Hey man, that was the knee slider. Then it was the indicator on the next KB ride. I think the bike and I need more race tape to secure things.

[Holy Roller]

Buy an el cheapo phone on trade me, telecom will reconnect it free you just need to purchase a phone card to top it up if on pre pay or just run it in tandem if you are on a contract.

[Blakamin]

hmmm... 200kmh on public roads??? lucky it was just the phone....

not a very wise thing to be doing when most people tell people being dicks to take it to the track....
oh well, your funeral...




my opinion so I dont care what anyone else thinks

Mate, I could really give you a good reply but I am going home now.

Let's just say if anyone here who has seen me ride reckons that I am a threat to society or other road users when I am riding my bike on public roads with good reasons. I WILL do what it takes to not be a danger/threat.

As far as I belive however (this maybe biased, I don't know), I am only going as quick as it is safely possible with out being a/in danger.

Forget about the silly figures mate. I don't even have a speedo because I don't care for it. It is just about doing my best to ride well and safe to give my self a personal satisfaction.

sometimes when you're on the road, its not all about you... what about when a car with a 20 year old mum comes around the corner, freaks at some bike going like a maniac and runs off the road??? I know some insecure cage drivers that have these reactions... just coz you dont hit them doesnt make it right....

and if my child was in a car and the driver got freaked by a nutter on a bike and had an accident, i would hunt said nutter down and kill them. end of story. no bullshit... my daughter is the world to me and if anyone threatened her life.... cant even put into words what I would do....


again, just my opinion on why people should keep speeds like that on the track, or find tighter corners where you have to ride like a nutter to get close to the speed limit :niceone:

Yes thats your opinion, and thats fair enough, however as one of the guys who has ridden the most with MR, I have to tell you that he is one of the safer riders who I have ridden with.

At those speeds if you ride with some one, you have too trust them 100%,
and I have said many times that I trust Sudeep(MR) with my life..

I can understand were you are coming from re your daughter, I too have childern that I love.

What speed is okay ?, 100, the legal road speed, 120 ?, 150 ? 200 ?.

Would you comments also apply to a drunk driver in a car, a truck driver etc etc ?

got a job so have to go, will add some more shortly.

F/F

If the driver is insecure about driving, then they should not be driving.... The thing i like about riding with MR, is he is not balls out all the time.... Ive been on rides with other riders where there was no speedlimit and disregaurd for others safety (i havnt gone back on those rides)

Also the roads we generally go on (mainly SH22) is about 150km's long and i have been down there a few times without seeing A SINGLE CAR!!! And yes we find the twistiest roads we can, Coro loop is mainly 15-55kmh corners, and SH22 is mainly 45-55kmh corners with very few straights...

Although i can see where you coming from, this would be for populated roads... not extreme country back roads.... Also you cant single out MR, as you havnt seen him ride etc..... So anyway, back to being happy families :) ...

[Motoracer]

Thank you Dave, Chris and Glen.

Blakamin: I am only human, I do make mistakes sometimes but I really do try my very best to ensure that no harm is going to be caused to anyone else because of my actions. For me others come before myself, it has been that way for while now. I think you are going about it in a black and white way with out any room for the grey areas. Know me, before you judge me.

[Blakamin]

I'm not judging or singling out anyone... saw someone freak out on the weekend and fall off the road, thats all... nothing personal...
but when people say one thing to someone about speeding, and then condone it for others (not saying anyone did), I find it up there with religion... hypocritical.
where are all the people that jump up and down when a n00b comes here saying they did 200 on a public road??? why arent they here now?


"Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me
cuz we need a little controversy,
cuz it feels so empty without me" - stolen from eminem

if this is the way KB is, (hope not) I might just pull my sticker off and use my T-shirt for cleaning wheels
:mellow:

another opinion from the house of blakamin... dont mean to offend

[aff-man]

yip gotta agree with TS,SM and FF Motoracer is a really really great rider. Never riding beyond his abilities. Have you ever gone fast??? I know i have and yet i know i am not riding outside of my abilities. MR abilities are quite impresive and so his safety bracket is quite high. But hey everyone is entitled to thier own opinion. :blink: :blink:

[Blakamin]

Have you ever gone fast???
Yeah.... on a z900 on a 2 lane freeway in Aus... in '91... a bit over that actually, but i wasnt likely to scare anyone at the time I did it... was 4am and had the road to myself bar the trucks... didnt drop below 200 for 120ks

But what type of public road???? If someone said the did it on a back road out in the whopwhops, thats fine... if they say that the did 120 in a 50kay area, i personally will give them alot of shit, as that is stupid and dangerous (that is where i think about kids and the huge amount of variables.....

To become a good rider/driver, i believe that you have to train yourself to react in situations, and not too freak out. I have freaked once, and come out of it ok.. But i vowed never too freak again.... Ofcourse you have "oh shit" moments, but you should be reacting (not freaking or panicing) to get out of the "oh shit" moment

[Blakamin]

But what type of public road???? If someone said the did it on a back road out in the whopwhops, thats fine...
why? whats to stop another car using the road?????? thats why they are "public" and not a race track... means that anyone can use them... at ANY time... who knows what time that might be?

like I said in the first post


oh well, your funeral

unfortunately, the experienced drivers arent born... we still have learners and restricted drivers that are mothers, sons, sisters, brothers etc that might use a backroad to get experience.....

again... another stupid opinion... but its mine

[Blakamin]

OK... time for the story... I was driving back from wallaceville yesterday in the pink party van (LWB transit turbo diesel) over the hill, staying in my lane (coz I know what its like on my bike), below the speed limit by miles coz I had a few JBs on board, and I had my 1y/o daughter with me.... a car came screaming up behind me (mighta just been 18)... and I only have one mirror (see other thread)... well I think to myself "you're gunna have to wait till I can move over"... nope... goes to pass me, freaks when they see the guy on the bike screaming along in the other direction, almost run me and the bike off the road and fuck off sideways very out of control.... I was peaking by this stage... was gunna kill the cunt coz I braked so hard my baby woke up, luckily without whiplash (and it takes a lot to stop 5 jukeboxes), the guy on the bike wobbled a bit and fucked off on his merry way and here I am... the fukkas in the car, and the cunt on the bike (over the line, just, coz he was flyin) could have killed my baby.....
all this on some backroad out the otherside of upper hutt, coming back from picking up a jukebox.....
what if it was one of you? what if you bounced off the side of my pink van? what if I killed you coz I had to be on that road but was going so slow some cunt had to pass me? what if the idiots in the car had of hit the bike? what if?????

Its still a public road even if its out in the middle of nowhere, and it only takes a split second to die...


like i said before, nuthin personal, but it could have been carnage

[Motoracer]

Issue resolved via PM. Nothing more needs to be said.

[Blakamin]

lol...





friggin message is too short so I thought I'd fill it with some crap here at the bottom

[avgas]

i must be a noob cos i seem to be the only one that doesnt use zeros?
oh yeh i did 200+ks on a public road....................wow
lets see you do 150 with no pants on
:eek5:
i sleep now

[Sniper]

I was a bit worried there for a sec, but at least you got our attention!

Ditto here. Gutted about the phone man, but better than actually binning it at 200kph+ :bash:

another opinion from the house of blakamin... dont mean to offend

You wanna know why I haven't said anything? Because MR is a genuine dude, who has admitted learning from mistakes in the past. He also contributes to this site rather than boasting about his exploits He's exercised the learning part of the cerebrum with this very post. Some people never do that, only to fade off into the entertaining history of the KB universe.

Trolls who pop up on here with tales of derring do and giving the cops the finger and racing off into the distance will always get a new one ripped.

We're all "hypocrites" (inc. the cops who ride bikes ;) ). Bikes give a fantastic impression of speed and gliding through the scenery at a rate of knots and dealing to challenging corners is what keeps us all coming back.

We're not allowed to condone speeding because that would be reckless and foolish, this is a public forum, and the legality of speeding is very, VERY clear. However common sense dictates that you'll never ever spend 100% of the time at or under whatever speed limit you're going through.

Anyway - what's up with you? Your team lose a one day cricket match or something?

[Ms Piggy]

I hate it when that happens! :crybaby:

I feel for ya buddy but, don't let it get you down or stop you going on and buying a new phone or give up on texting and calling others on a new one. I know it may not be as good but, don't despair!

[Joni]

At the end of the day everyone has the right to their own opinion, and I always repsect that. Thats part of being on a public site - we take whats going on in our own lives and our interpretations of whats being said by our fellow KB'ers and thats how we get such a collection of different people.

Same thing with riding above the speed limit - even though it is controlled by law, and opinion is not, (unless murder etc. is part of what you perceive as a norm in an opinion), a person still has the choice how hard and how fast he is prepared to push himself and his bike. However (lol in my opinion) BK is correct. There will always be circumstances where no matter how good you are (and we wont argue on MR's skill), you open yourself, and definately the others using the road with you, up to more situations where the end result cannot always be positive.

[Blakamin]

Anyway - what's up with you? Your team lose a one day cricket match or something?
HAHAHAHAHahahahahaha.... :msn-wink:
actually only heard about that just now... dont follow cricket or rugby unless I'm somewhere near my bro-in-law and then its just so we can stir each other!
AFL forever!!!!!!

typical head-in-the-sand-when-you-loose Aussie! :P

MR, I knwo what loosing stuff is like. I lost my gloves and jacket out of my backpack chasing John early this year over Kopu. You guys who manage to find stuff thats come adrift are damn lucky. (bloody bruce!)

[Ghost Lemur]

I wonder what sort of backpack GhostRider uses? As you can garantee after the highspeed "testing" that bag has been though they're made to go the distance seems in tact.

Another story with a happy ending was when Vladi lost his wet weather pants on the Waikato Ride #1 in the middle of nowhere and Quasie found it on the side of the road a few days later by pure luck or by his excellent spotting skills. Either way Vladi was fuckin lucky that time. I guess he wasn't so lucky when he lost his phone the same way I did later on...

The moral here is, be careful with securing your belongings when going out for a blat on the bike. I've learnt my lesson for sure and hopefully the rest of you lot who haven't had such experiences will know better, without having to learn it the hard way.

[Blakamin]

typical head-in-the-sand-when-you-loose Aussie! :P

Well thats gone and blown it hasnt it??? from now on I'll watch the cricket results just to let you fukkas know when you've lost... I mean, you's are all mouth when you win one game in 3 years or whatever it was

[loosebruce]

Forget about the silly figures mate. I don't even have a speedo because I don't care for it..

Eh you don't have a speedo coz i fucked it when i crashed the thing :crazy: that aside the only thing dangerous about MR is the way he's wheelying that new pushbike of his, all over the road, footpaths, small animals, cars, harleys, that red ZX636R ridden by Qusai, i mean everything, somebody stop him.......

[erik]

Jeezus, you know how to get attention...

the thread title had me worried for a bit too. Bummer about the phone, glad you're ok though.

Just cause you couldn't come out yesterday. Otherwise you'd be right there next to me on the back wheel of your MTB!

I just got this bike yesterday. Man, it feels so good to wheelie it too. I can't wait to eventually try out all the mad jumps at woodhill on it. :headbang:

Ok, not beautiful but I reckon it looks pretty mean, like a bad as mofo bike that's good for doing mean shit on. That's why it's got "agro series" written on the sides of it in fine print.

Here's another pic from the official website then.
