Copped today?

[hospitalfood]

had a nice we put on SH16 today, so did a couple of friends. i fact there were heaps of bikes out on 16 today.
sadly my friends lost something on the way home.... their licences.

State your figure, good sir.

[jrandom]

Woopsadaisy. What very bad men y'all are.

Make sure you remind everyone involved to put a defunct unrelated rego plate of some sort on their bikes if they plan on riding while suspended. (Of course, that implies that they don't plan on stopping, but that'd be a given, right?)

[Str8 Jacket]

I did'nt see one cop on or near the hill today down here in Wellys!

[hospitalfood]

not sure exactly what figure you are after ?
my friends ( 2 licences gone today ) were alleged to be riding above 150 km/h.

Im about 3 foot tall and fat.

they are not bad boys, im sure they will stay off the bikes aside from the tracks.

Very good, very good. Just, y'know. Just saying.

We saw the same one four times. Rode down to the bridge on Feathers side and turned around, cop went through heading towards Welly. Then he was behind two trucks just after the summit and got past them, then I caught up with him just at the bottom of the hill. I stopped and waited for Nige and then we past him as he was parked on the side of the road just before the bridge by the Kaitoke gardens. Just trolling I guess.

[Lurch]

The constabulary was out in force on SH1 just north of Nauranga gorge today, they seemed to be having a successful day so to speak.

[HRT]

I got done for 109km/h. Pity it was in an 80km/h zone and not a 100 like I thought :( Up to 70 bonus points now.

[scuzeme]

My condolences to you poor bastards, they love sitting at the bottom of the hill on the kaitoke side just in amoungst the trees there at the end of the straight before you start going up.
We need an insider that can warn us, a sort of reverse nark.

[marty]

there's plenty of insiders on here, but as they are constantly abused and slagged off, they just like to sit back and chortle.......

[Little Miss Trouble]

Nothing for me today :sunny: but your right, they are rather active around here today, since getting home I've heard the unmistakable siren blip that says "I got you, your f**ked" coming from the main road at least 3 times

[mattian]

are you kidding?? 150ks an hour..... Geesus! Thank god they were stopped before they killed themselves or some other innocent party on our roads.

[DMNTD]

are you kidding?? 150ks an hour..... Geesus! Thank god they were stopped before they killed themselves or some other innocent party on our roads.
Dude...my woman's bikes does more than that in 1st gear.
Some of us ride bikes that are very settled at such "high" speeds unlike say a 250cc cruiser.

BTW...I'm not advocating the speeding is safe,just pointing something out which is relevant to what you said.

[mattian]

Oh sorry, I wasn't trying to give the impression that I was impressed with that kind of speed...... I've got nothing to prove. I KNOW my dick is bigger than your wifes. :eek:

[DMNTD]

Hell...I though school holidays were over?

[mattian]

Sorry mate, you have my apologies. I don't mean to offend you or your wife sorry..... just typed it before I thought about it.... was quite funny tho.

[mattian]

I agree that those bigger bikes are stable at very high speeds. I would imagine the temptation to let it rip on the open road must be almost impossible to resist.

[Fatjim]

Mate, she married him, how could you ever offend her?

[wbks]

Why does everyone who doesn't speed refer to penis size or some freudian theory to explain why people do speed? Maybe its just fun?

[duckonin]

The cops are out there to help save our arses from idiots also, yet some bike riders are the idiots:doh: should be more cops on the roads ..

[Duke girl]

Well those who brake the speed limit have to pay the price and yes the police are out in force so just be aware of it and try sticking to the speed limit so you dont end up being the next 1 to loose your licence. Not worth the risk and regardless of what you think of the police force they have a job to do and if they can keep the roads a safer place for us all then good on them. Ride to survive.

[MSTRS]

It's always the one you didn't see that'll get you. You've only got yourself to blame, you know.

When are people going to learn about 16 ........ They COPPERS UP THERE ARE OUT TO GET YOU

are you suggesting my friends are idiots ?

im not sure i like your attitude

[mattian]

I agree with you whole-heartedly. Speed is fun and quite an adrenaline rush however, there is no place for it on public roads.

[Maha]

are you suggesting my friends are idiots ?

Na, just not as quick as you Adam...you're fast as bro'.

[stify]

do do do...da da da....is all i want to hear from you

[Maha]

do do do...da da da....is all i want to hear from you

You can only ride in a straight line anyway.....:eek: Show Me Da Lights!!

[hmurphy]

I went up the takas and saw a few cops on the way up around 5pm. Mostly on SH2 round the Caltex. They were littered all the way along SH2 heading in and out of town from Upper Hutt though! Heeeeaps of them

[stify]

You can only ride in a straight line anyway.....:eek: Show Me Da Lights!!

the bigger the bike...the straighter the line...so i hear:msn-wink:

[vifferman]

I didn't see any cops today.

Mind you, the furtherest I went was the supermarket up the road...

[Maha]

the bigger the bike...the straighter the line...so i hear:msn-wink:

Get faaaaaaarrrrrrrked............:bleh:

I also (so the jungle drums tell me) have about 700cc to much....:scratch:

Now why didnt the bike shop tell me this when I told them exactly what I wanted it for?
I am in danger of copping a ticket or worse, walking home one day.....:niceone:

[stify]

Get faaaaaaarrrrrrrked............:bleh:


thank you for your kind words....but that has been well taken care of...

[hospitalfood]

Na, just not as quick as you Adam...you're fast as bro'.

like fuck mate, but cheers anyway.
some of the folk i ride with are talented but.

[ManDownUnder]

Odd - I live down 16 (well - just off it) and I didn't see any coppas! Shame - but then I didn't really get out on the bike at all so that might explain it.

[hospitalfood]

i think the cops are trying to get a good share of cash before the global recession really hits, probably for beer money on fridays and doughnuts.

[Mom]

i think the cops are trying to get a good share of cash before the global recession really hits, probably for beer money on fridays and doughnuts.

Wait till they finish that new overtaking lane in the newly named Doom Valley (serious, they have signs up now calling it that). Overtaking lanes in an 80kph area, means no chance the global recession will affect the donut consumption in Rodney.

[Grub]

Ummm, let me think about this for a second.

- Bikes love speeding down SH16
- The cops know this
- People die at those high speeds from cars or the riders doing something dumb
- The cops know this
- Doing 150kmh is illegal
- The cops know this
- The best way to keep the road toll down is to stop people doing 150kmh
- The cops know this

Cash, what cash? They took their licences away to stop them doing it some more.

[dwnundabkr]

just as well i didnt get out today other wise i may have had to walk home, 16 is addictive for us nana riders :Police::Police:

Christ I bet that hurt......:doh:

[McJim]

I thought SH16 was infamous for it's speed tax collections. Not a place I would choose to exceed the speed limit. The back roads to Tuatapere or the Catlins now that's a different matter.....:devil2:

do you believe any of what you have posted, thought it was common knowledge that policing speed has made no difference to speeders or road toll.

[The Pastor]

A cop tried to pull me over / take my licence today.

[hospitalfood]

Christ I bet that hurt......:doh:

dont you start........i know your not one of the soft cock do goody pussy arsed bitches who express there stupid unwanted opinions.

and i know your normal open road speed mate.

anyway, this thread is not about opinions, it about weather anyone else lost there licence today.

[Gremlin]

When are people going to learn about 16 ........ They COPPERS UP THERE ARE OUT TO GET YOU
:laugh: no no Mr Enigma, despite the countless threads moaning of license loss along that road, surely people can expect there to be no cops up there, on a fine day, in the weekend? :eek:

I didn't see one cop in 3 hours of country riding today. Of course, probably half that time was spent on gravel, or a road with no centre markers... but I doubt that can be any theory aye? :niceone:

[Biggles41]

Ah yes rode close to that area last week Te Anau - Otautau, I must say that road from manapouri through blackmount --- whoa beautiful bit of road even on a 18 yr machine from the fatherland.

[Grub]

Yup, common knowledge amongst trolls, everyone else knows better - that's why they have got the toll down from 540 to 339 in 10 years.

[vifferman]

Oh dear - simplistic "cause and effect" statistical analysis. :rolleyes:
Yes, the enforcement of road speed laws may have contributed to that, but it's not the only factor. There is also the work (albeit minor, given how much money is collected supposedly for it) done to improve roads, and there have been considerable advancements in car design over the last 10 years. Most cars now have airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and better structural design (built-in crumple zones and stronger passenger compartments).
It is simply not possible to say "policing speed limits has reduced the road toll from 540 to 339".

what is this speed limit you speak of? i once had a whole gram in a night, is that over the limit?

ive done 2 grams before, you're behind the 8ball.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here.

However, the sad fact is that now that the pohleece have got the average speed on SH1 down to 80kph the road toll is still way above what the Gummint has promised. And all the dumb policy making shits can come up with is to lower the speed limits further.

Never mind driver training, enforcing traffic laws apart from speed, safety belts and drink driving! Never mind serious repercussions for those that don't take others safety on the road seriously!

We are truely fucked in this county because of unimaginative policy makers. They think new laws, instead of common sense policing, punishment, driver training and better roads will do the trick. Lazy fucking bastards.

[Cr1MiNaL]

are you kidding?? 150ks an hour..... Geesus! Thank god they were stopped before they killed themselves or some other innocent party on our roads.


haha crusier riders ... zzzzz

It has been said before, that they have previously stated that driver training breeds overconfidence.

You reap what you sow :rolleyes:

[OutForADuck]

Inappropriate speed kills not speed itself. Roads not a race track but I also don't contend that breaking the speed limit is danerous per sec on a modern well kept sports bike.

Ride safe doesn't mean ride slow!!! any more than rider slow means ride safe!!!!

[Morcs]

High and mighty brigade: F**k off.

really, before i come round and set your houses on fire. Then you will realise what highly dangerous actually is.

[Finn]

Im about 3 foot tall and fat.

Dad, is that you?

[Swoop]

They took their licences away to stop them doing it some more.
The little bit of plastic has absolutely no bearing on the physical ability to go for a ride. It does not start the bike. It does not control the bike.
It is only an item that is quite useful to have, if actually pulled over.

Speaking of which,
The obvious first move is for someone to replace their numberplate prior to going for a ride...

[Bytor]

Dad, is that you?

:laugh:mate you never fail to crack me up! I'd give you some bling but alas the last lot I gave was to you...

[sunhuntin]

heading into welly by jville, we saw 3x highway patrol and 1x around town all sitting together on the northbound side of the cheesecutter. furthur on, on the downhill that has the lit up speed signs there was a bike cop also on the northbound side.

they were the only cops we saw the entire day, lol. odd to see 4 cars all sitting on top of each other. it was right after a merge from an on ramp, but 4 cars seemed like overkill.

[scuzeme]

Yeah but what a great target for a smart bomb :Police:

[monkeymsea]

not sure exactly what figure you are after ?
my friends ( 2 licences gone today ) were alleged to be riding above 150 km/h.
.

Only 150?? let me guess honda riders?? lol
Nah just joking.. I think everyone needs to ride sensibly on the street and pay the small fee for the trackdays that are available..

But what do I know ive only been riding 4 months lol

[madboy]

Forget a fake plate. If you leave the plate at home you find the bike becomes almost invisible to radar/laser. But for some reason it really f***s up your fuel economy.

[MaxB]

It has been said before, that they have previously stated that driver training breeds overconfidence.

You reap what you sow :rolleyes:

Of course that is like saying the combined road research knowledge of places like Sweeden, Japan and Germany is worthless. eg that they have a highly trained driving pool where licences aren't given out like cough lollies. Driving speeds are higher and the accdient/death rates are much lower. (OK Japan is 100kmh but they enforce a mimimum speed limit so everyone keeps up)

There are heaps of roads here that could take higher speed limits if people were properly trained.

I do not trust any stats that spew forth from the LTNZ (Andy Knackstedt and other mouthpieces). They stopped being relevant years ago.

[madboy]

But solving the problem requires more THOUGHT and MONEY and TIME to implement than chucking out a few bandaid policies that provide more immediate tangible cash returns.

"Hi, I will spend millions of dollars on training drivers so that they won't kill themselves or others over the next 40 years. Yes, I know this won't result in a positive return on investment for a number of years, and in that time we won't be able to offer you any tax cuts or increases in govt handouts, but please believe me when I tell you that a vote for me is a vote for a long-term improvement in the wellbeing of our country."

Do you seriously think they'll get elected? Nope. Country is too short sighted. People want shit now, they don't want to save up for it.

When are people going to learn about 16 ........ They COPPERS UP THERE ARE OUT TO GET YOU

I have yet to see a cop up there at the usual time I was doing SH16 - namely 2-3AM.

Hell, I don't think I've even had to pass another vehicle - I fail to see why anyone would want to do it at any other time.

Besides, of course, the fact that the pubs/food places are shut. :pinch:

[jafar]

dont you start........i know your not one of the soft cock do goody pussy arsed bitches who express there stupid unwanted opinions.

and i know your normal open road speed mate.

anyway, this thread is not about opinions, it about weather anyone else lost there licence today.

Yeah ok mate, I was actually taking the piss of the other poster :Oops:

Mabey you should run this like an auction, say:
HERE WE ARE LADIES & GENTLEMEN , 2 LICENCES LOST ON SATURDAY, DO I HEAR ANY ADVANCES ON 2 ? ....... 3 CAN I HEAR 3?????

Well done to the Sprotsbike riders in the back that lost 3....... can I hear 4 ???:rockon:
