Maybe , just maybe , Plod , the fire service the ambo's & the courts are sick & tired of picking up the pieces after someone does dumb shit that goes wrong.When someone does dumb shit, posts it on youtube saying ' look at me, look at me' , is it really surprising that the authorities look to hammer him.
There have been a few prosecutions overseas due to dickheads posting vids of their escapades on you tube, real dumb shit.

Own up?Originally Posted by avgas
I doubt I'd own up, but I wouldn't complain about being caught - and I certainly wouldn't plaster the interweb with bragging, pictures and video footage (almost makes you think he wanted to be caught).
Armature speller
Have they finished yet?

We last saw Willy Huitema between the Royal and the Hilly, but he'll turn up...
Come warm yourself by the fire
Why aren't you drinking already?
Y'see, I think you peoples read me the wrtong way.
I am not supporting Carvr for breakin that law. I Just am supprise the judge was SHOcked.
I am also a disliking the bang-a-man when it he is down brigade.
He clearly has SOME skill and balls ot do hte stunt. Fark I wounl'dnt do that.
Fucking stupid that is.
Fucking big balls.

There has always been "dumb shit" being done!
I.E. When the Auckland harbour bridge was completed, a Captain Fred Ladd immediately flew his aeroplane under it and pronounced himself a hero!
The stodgy authorities responded with a law to save pilots from themselves by taking risks and copying him!
I think carver showed balls and skill successfully crossing the bridge without incident or inconveniencing anyone!
That is his problem, he did it so well that nobody really noticed, so he was forced to advertise, to get attention!
So I say, well done carver!
Previous generations sit there tut tutting about "today's youth" tisc tisc etc! (like the judge in question)
The authorities have sprung into action, as they do and are now looking at ways to save bikers from themselves and to prevent minnie carvers copying his exploits!
If nobody ever took a risk and stepped out over the barriers and fences inflicted upon us by the cotton-wool brigade saving us from our sense of discovery and adventure, we would all still be living in caves and saying "UGh" to each other!
It would be better (IMHO) if the judge had been "electrocuted instead of just being shocked" at carver's behaviour!
Our youth needs more of carver's "yes I can" than the judges "no you can't" if we are going to become a great nation!
Fuck those stodgy smothering old bastards of this world, they have far too much influence than they should (IMHO) I suppose he has been giving name suppression to real criminals and kiddie fiddlers too!
Frustrated rant over now, I will have my tea and settle down.
Should be out riding
So you are saying that there should be more people around doing dumb shit? Wait didn't we want our ACC level to go down a little?
Have you been on the road lately? People doing dumb shit is all around us! I had some little 15 year old try and race me today in a rotary starlet on cut springs... (funny part was the car was probably > 10 years older than him)
I think the problem you are talking about is not a lack of hero's, its apathy, people who just can't be arsed learning because everything is easy.
You can't save the fallen, direct the lost or motivate the lazy.

There is always a depends.....
The issue here for me is not about inconvenience, its about him deciding to put other people at risk. If he fucked up this particular stunt he could have hurt innocents like ewenme. So no, he shouldn't have done this particular one.
Now if he'd picked a stunt where if he fucked up he would have only hurt himself then - bring it on (and the ambos of course)
Whip it, whip it good!
OMG! Carver rode over that bridge!
It was an impressive thing to see
Very fucken stupid too
I saw it on you tube.
I can't see it anymore
He did not get permission from the powers that be
I dont condone that at all
He is facing the court, and whatever punishment is heading his way
Funny as fuck to read this thread of um, how many pages?
Carver, I take my hat off to you mate!

I've got no real problem with him doing the stunt.
It was when he started slagging Plod for feeling his collar that got me.
Then we get the rationalisation brigade...
He did it.
He bragged about it on the net.
He should man up and take what's coming.

Maybe they should stop whinging about having a job.

Thats the whole point...he shouldn't have anything coming
We all take risks....calculated risks, for what ever reasons...excitement, fun, really wild things...usually we get away with out consequences....sometimes we dont.
Jump off a bridge into a swimming hole, climb a mountain, parachute, ride horses, go hunting, hangliding...all calculated risks all with the potential to harm ourselves and harm others or incovenience others....riding over the bridge arches was a calculated risk and should be viewed in the same manner as any other adventure passtime. Or we run the risk of making adventure pastimes criminal activities

1. Yep. I did some dumb shit when I was younger. Sometimes I got caught. When I did, I paid the fine and got on with it.
2. This guy did dumb shit and bragged about it, published it for all to see. If the authorities don't do anything about it, what does that say to the even dumber bastids that come next?
