Speed and the law

WHY DIDNT YOU DO A RUNNER? WHAT SORT OF BIKE DO YOU HAVE?
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE TICKET TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ACCURATE?
DID YOU LOSE YOUR LICENCE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 28 DAYS?

Because it's inappropriate, rude, immature, is calculated to get peoples backs up, undermines your argument and worst of all, is completely un-nescessary. It makes your argument seem a bit coarse and people stop listening.

I have no problem with you expressing a very strong opinion (that I happen to share as a matter of fact), I just think it's a bit over the top in this case, the gentleman is not bragging about it.... He just asked what happens next...

What bear said. How come the copper didn't pluck your licence on the spot?
As for some of the self-righteous posts that came out of the woodwork on this one,
it seems the brainwashing is working. Why think for yourself when you've got all these caring socialists to do it for you?
On some SI roads 200 is safer than 100 around Auckland M/Ways

So what you're saying is, your bike has a 'gay limiter' that keeps kicking in when you ride it?

worked in your case then didn't it? Fuck to me is just another word, I use it at home, office, anywhere and everywhere, wether I am talking to God, the prime minister or my boss, it gets used because it is a beautiful word.

He's right - how else would I know that the LS400 wont do a lot more than 125km/h? Guesswork? That being said, it was a neat stretch of straight road with lots of good visibility (raised road over-looking flat farm-land) and sod-all driveways on it and no one else around to hit. If a cop had been hidden anywhere, I'd have had a well deserved ticket, though.

Oh yeah... The sound of another long bow being drawn...

The other thing I hate about these posts are the posts drawing some sort of tenuous connection to politics... Naughty naughty Lou - Mistress helen will be visiting you shortly with her tight rubber cat suits and big smacky stick... Hang on, you might enjoy that... Hmm.. OK... Don brash then...

I don't think I'd like you very much if I met you in person, then.

Anyway, what do you do when you're *really* upset about something?

Jump up and down and yell 'dang'?

how the hell did this become about the word 'fuck'? FYI when I am upset I still use the word fuck, is there a problem with that as well?

No it didn't 'work'. It did however paint a picture clearly, and you filled in the details beautifully. Thanks.
