Speeding

[Morcs]

This is part troll, part serious...

The question is:

Are all the people on here who say things like:

Dont speed
Dont break the law
Do the crime pay the fine

all that anti speeding nazi crap, well my question is, is it just because they cant ride above the speed limit? are scared or incapable at handling a motorcycle at a whopping speed of 120kph?

Or do they just like being authoritarians on the internet?

Im intrigued.

Discuss.

No.
This isn't school, y'know.

[Morcs]

Really?

I thought we are all here to learn?

[Digitdion]

Both! To many people claim to be angels regarding speeding.The others are funny sarcastic bastards.

met a guy with a new Triumph Daytona who claimed never to have exceeded 120kph - never could work out why he didn't just buy a step-thru

or maybe they have respect for the laws that govern our country and dont see why they should be able to only follow the rules they choose?

They all seem soooo high and mighty eh. I find riding at 100kph actually very boring on either of my bikes to the point its probibly a distraction. I think when your riding faster (back roads) your in that moment so your sense's/feelers are scoping out everything which seems safer to me than riding at 100kph following some fuckwit in a car that hasnt indicated doesnt know where theyre going .... Doesnt know your even behind them !! I hate this subject really cos i dont have much time for the hardcore 100kph flatout riders that aint riding to me, i could teach my 10 year old to do that.

Public roads are created for the good of the majority of the public, and as a result, are subject to crown laws to protect the good of the majority of the public.

Commerical facilities, like tracks, also have rules, to protect those that use the facility. Commercial facilities are built for a different purpose, so that's why.

Then of course, you can just buy your land, build your own track on it, have your own rules, and do what you want. So if you have the money to pay the fine for the crime, why not just build your own private facility, and keep everyone else on public roads safe?

they're not so much laws as guidelines (or at least they were when I took up riding) and it's only tossers that refer to breaking a speed limit as committing a crime - in fact they are not criminal offences

Shuddup you.

So why dont you buy an Fxr150?

If I was riding say auckland to wellington, on the main highways, with just quick fuel/smoke stops, and maybe a lunch, gaurenteed more likely to die doing 100kph all the way rather than sitting at 120-140. FACT.
But of course there is always the cop U-turn factor...

Only a few people say Dont speed.

Slightly more say Dont break the law. (You do realise that speeding is breaking a rule rather than a law?)

Most say Do the crime pay the fine.

I'm intriqued as to why you would lump all those people into one single group?

No.

Probably sick of hearing about, "I was only speeding and I got another ticket from that nasty pig, now he has taken my license because I am a slow learner from all the other speeding tickets I have got..." type of thing....

But I could be wrong......

met a guy with a new Triumph Daytona who claimed never to have exceeded 120kph - never could work out why he didn't just buy a step-thru

He's lying.

675 or bigger? The 675 won't do anything under 120.....

[Coldrider]

The crime is in not speeding, it is being caught speeding.
I'm sorry officer...............

I wanted something with more acceleration.

I'm curious about your last statement. So how are you more likely to die travelling at 100km/h than 120km/h, that you say is a fact? What have you based this "fact" on?

The faster you go, relatively, the slower everyone else is around you. At 200kph, everyone else is virtually stopped. Like flies avoiding a swot.
