Speeding

Why?

You're not a virgin.

You don't still live at home.

You don't wear cardigans.

And you don't smell like my Grandpa.

2 out of 4 ain't bad...

[The Pastor]

how can you say that and be the 2nd most badass biker ?

I see you don't let education get in the way of your ignorance, but just for you I'll point out that I never said I agree with or support that point of view.

Ouch!!!!!!

prevention? training? education? bunch of fucking communists, that shit is not how we roll in NZ.

got a problem with boyracers? we need a new law!
got a problem with illegal downloads? we need a new law!
got a problem with child abuse? we need a new law!

forget about the cause, making it an offence will defintely banish any problems.

Said like a true liarbour supporter...

Woa, this thread grew...
To answer the original question, I would tell someone to harden up if they complained about a speeding ticket. Wouldn't most people do the same thing if someone whined "waaa I just got done doing 120 and the big bad pig ticketed me, he's so unreasonable", which seems to be what most people say? Wouldn't make me a nazi...

No but if you didn't ask what their reason was it would make you one eyed.

[scumdog]

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?

Who cares?

At 120km/h 'somebody' could give you a ticket, THAT is what counts.

Not if you live or die, that's immaterial.

[scumdog]

Good point! Why don't we drop it to 5... or are there other considerations to be balanced off as well?

It WAS 80 up until 'about' 1986.

Before it was 80 it was 55mph from memory.

...but but but - that suggests speed isn't the only issue??? Nooooo - surely not?

[marty]

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.

i speed. i break the law.

i just don't come on here and cry like a fucking baby when i get caught.

actually, every time i've been caught i have either 'failed' to see the red/blues, or they haven't been following me - i thought they were for someone else - and i've carried on regardless, or i've been nice and talked my way out of it. it's not easy to talk you way out of a 70km walk home, but it can be done. being an arse would have meant a loooong walk, and a longer time without a licence.......

So if a cop pulled me over on a New Zealand motorway for doing 70mph and told me it was very dangerous speed etc etc.. thats when its stupid.

And fair enough too.... It isn't dangerous at 120. Its a speeding ticket. It's dangerous speed at 51 or more over the limit....

Then its less revenue.

I wouldve thought it would be in the governments interest to make loosing a license more difficult, whilst retaining the nice revenue from ticketing.
If drivers are disqualified, they cant be out on the road giving more money to the government..

Yeah.... once disqualified, they don't go out on the roads.........

And that other old lemon will be gone, when the fines are reduced and the demerits raised - can't call it revenue/tax collecting then, ay....???

Depends on your reaction times - yes the faster you go, the bigger the mess,

You forget.... the less you have in reaction time and in distance as well.....

[paddy]

Simple. Keep people who cant drive/ride off the roads.
Raise the driving age to 21

Then raise the speed limit a wee bit.

Sorted.

Apparently not - because I seem to recall you being 22.

Simple answer to the original question.... most bikes have six gears for a reason
