Speed freaks

[slofox]

Was pootling between Pirongia and Te Awamutu this am and was passed by some dude on a Harley, quickly followed by another dude in a Mazda RX8...both going at some rate of knots....how fast? Well I don't know 'cause when I tried to clock them I made no impression on the ever increasing distance even at (coughcough)km/hr.....so I just settled back down and enjoyed the ride. Hope they made it to the fire they must have been going to.........:whistle:

Does there really need to be a new thread every time someone speeds or makes a dodgy pass, or doesn't wave, or doesn't wear atgatt?

[coffeejunkie]

I hate to say it but the harley could have been one of my uncles, LOL,

They haven't growen up yet and always love to give cagers a run for their money,

One specially i don't think will be on this planet long(sadly) LOL

You couldn't catch up to a harley?FFS time for a new bike I feel.

Welllll that may not be true - I just decided not to try after a certain point, in view of the fact that the road goes past many farm gates and previous experience suggests that the likelihood of Farmerrr Browwwnnnn pulling out on his tractor is a little higher than zero......

[MIXONE]

So if said Farmer Brown pulled out in front of said motorcyclist would it then be a tractor v tractor crash?

[kiwifruit]

Fuckin harley riders!!!

hahaha - I like that!

Some time ago I came round a corner to find Mrs Farmer Brown using the road as a headland for her ride on mower......now she got more of a scare than I did...(I had seen the fresh cut grass on the road...)

[MIXONE]

Yep when you're riding in the country it pays to keep all senses on full alert.

[madbikeboy]

SloFox, the question is...

...did he wave?

Do you really have to read all the new threads and comment on them?


Thought not.

Its a forum, where people chat... jeez if we all stopped talking about things that have happened before we wouldn't get far would we?

Tractor vs tractor lol niiice.

[slofox]

Nah - typical Harley driver - NO WAVE!!!!! (and I use "driver" advisedly)

Are they really that bad? I have never ridden a Harley but i gather they don't turn like the sporties.

Same as any other bike really,put someone who knows what there doing on one and they get along just fine.

Oh I think we all like to make fun of them. I know a guy has one and he thinks it's great....he's an ex moto x rider with the dubious claim to fame of "having crashed every bike I ever owned...". But he hasn't crashed the Harley...yet.

I did notice that the guy this morning slowed way down when he did reach a corner...even more than I do and that is saying a LOT!

I must test ride one, although my hump-back racing gears would look a little daft on a harley :lol:

Reminds me of a near thing awhile back,having some fun on a backroad when i came across a tractor in the distance,there was a gorse hedge partly obscuring my view but as i got closer as he rounded a bend i could see there was nothing coming the other way and took the bend wide as to pass the tractor,what i didnt see was the bloody wide set of discs he was towing:wacko:

"fine" being used in a relatively loose manner :laugh:

LOL :lol: an agricultural incident anyway you looked at it

[Forest]

A speeding Harley?

Is this another one of those Fatt Max windups? :yes:

You are going too slow mate
Your not a Nanna are you.?
Bikers should not have cars pass them and as for a Harley, you could have blown him to the weeds. You must be the only SV in the country that has had a Harley pass them.

Tractor vs tractor lol niiice.Sure but atleast spice the story up to make it not so repetitive. Like the harley rider had a 10 year old pillian wearing nothing but shorts or how he was sitting on the front wheel of a scooter doing a 100kmph stoppie past a bus load of burning nuns.. Or sumthin:confused:

[FJRider]

Perhaps a bike upgrade, so you can keep up with Harleys... appropiate name though..

[breakaway]

Harley


going at some rate of knots....

What? :jerry:

[Jiminy]

Ahem, pardon me, but this story is not repetitive, we're talking about a speeding Harley! :whistle:

[FJRider]

Or at least one Harley that can outrun a SV650... how common is that...??? :woohoo: :rockon: :whocares:

Wot 'e sed.:yes:

[98tls]

[NinjaNanna]

I've been passed by Harleys before - but they were piloted by the Tribesmen.

No way in hell was I going to play catchup with those fellas better to just let it be I thought :bye:
