Given that they've successfully tracked down more than one moron who's posted himself doing something dumb, I'd be pretty damn wary of doing it myself.

Maybe sportsbike riders should pay more ACC than cruisers

Thanks DMNTD, I'll look that up........ps this thread should probably be in Rant & Rave so feel free to move it ...mybad

It's bike related so it is fine here Chris. Now if you don't mind pm me the link or preferably a search tag.

Forgive me for being cynical here. Gixxer speedo's drive from the gearbox now dont they?
So if "a person: had fitted stunt gearing wouldn't that make the speedo reading hugely high?

Cruisers can have more road wear levi then, since they weigh heaps.

Regardless a standard model will *show* 299 on factory gearing, and they have been clocked at up to 185mph. Anyway top speed is for bar room bullshit factor only really.

But so is... "I went round a corner 'this fast', look at my lack of chicken strips"

Here is hoping that he got that Haemorrhoid cream at that truck stop. Poor guy looked like he was in a hurry for it - must have been hurting on that hard sports seat

Exactly. It's in the same vein as 'I have never had a crash so I'm a good rider'. Or the 'my [insert cheaper obviously slower bike in here]' can keep up with my mates [insert expensive faster bike in here] through the twisties'.

look at my lack of chicken strips

You're still sore about that, aren't you?

Awww, c'mere.

Good cunt.

I noticed a new billboard out that way today.

Picture of a yellow bike cruising along with the text:

"Enjoy the Ride, Not the Race"


It will be a shitter if they reduce that road to 80kms. If they do it will not be due to the motorcycles - it will be the increasing volumes of car traffic heading there each weekend.

PS - I still have small chicken strips on my rear tyre - is there a cream I can get to remove them?

Honey mustard dipping sauce is good.

If they reduced the speed to 80kms, would that really change much? For people who travel 40kms plus over the limit, the result of being caught will still be the same. Perhaps policing would increase for a while, but extra police resourcing on a targeted area is finite. Not that I am advocating this speed limit however, nor am I advocating silly utube posts. However, we mostly have to be a bit careful not to be hypocritical when condemning others for speeding on the Akkers GP. There may be some riding angels out there, but sadly I dont qualify!

[onearmedbandit]

Nor do I! But I try to keep it within reason.
