Road Lice

[Spearfish]

I should be dead according to the adds

Maybe this is where you go when you do?

[Gremlin]

been there, done that, done the walking. Changed bike, dropped my top speed, and barely talk to cops now. Crazy huh?

[p.dath]

does that "one" apply to everyone? or are polititians theiving, police drunk drivers etc exempt?

You are correct, you need to be convicted of an offence under the Crimes Act to get the new special title of "criminal". Otherwise you just an aspiring criminal, waiting to get qualified.

136? On the Napier- Taupo? Without a radar detector? And you weren't even in top gear?

One of the heaviest patrolled roads in the country....what an idiot!

I got the impression that you were knowingly speeding from your post; and now your here complaining that the police arnt doing their jobs properly because they are out chasing people that are doing well over the speed limit.

Dude you cocked up big time and now you have to live with the consequences. I doubt you will find much sympathy here.

Thats a "NONE" from here if it's any help.

Yeah .. I know that .. just feeling frustrated 'cause the bikes are parked up . It was my fault .. I did it .. many many times ...

Bloody Road Lice ... I'm beating the feet for three months 'cause I got too many speeding tickets ...

Got caught at 136 klicks across the Napier-Taupo Road ... lucky, 'cause just after I went passed the radar I didn't see, I opened the throttle ... cost me a lot of money and 50 points .. which gave me a total of 125 points inside 24 months ...

Why can't the be out catching crims rather than harassing us rising at sane and safe speeds !!!! I wasn't even in top gear !!!!

If you were a proper anarchist you would refuse to be co opted into the system, you are a free man, do what you want. Just ride anyway, and dont pay stupid rego fees or anything. In fact, remove the number plate from that bike and do a wheelie past that cop, while swilling some Jack and giving the finger. Go on. You know you NEED to. You're an individual, not a sheep. Go ON...

Have ta spread some more rep around, but Bling for that one. Should be a KB Classic Quote.
Too bad he wasn't riding at a pace at match his learning speed.

I've been speeding all my riding life - from when the legal limits were 30 and 55 miles an hour ... I haven't learnt yet .. and I doubt I ever will ... it's too late to teach this old dog new tricks ... not the first time I've lost my licence either ...

[Banditbandit]

You could always try "slower"...

Tried that in the past - never could achieve it ..

There's knowingly taking a risk ... which I have done many times ... and got away with it ... and then there is downright stupidity. I won't be that stupid any more ... did that many years ago (can't quite wheelie a '63 Triumph 650 the way you can a modern bike) ... at least I learnt to stay out of sight by not being that stupid .. the essence of freedom is survival ... if you rebel too visibly and illegally they even take that away from you ... so I make my choices as a free man ... and I chose to stay as invisible as possible ... and sometimes the radar traps see you anyway ...

Wow. Way to make an entrance to the site my man.

Welcome aboard. You'll eventually learn to like it .....

Thanks. If I can't ride - at least I can talk about bikes ...

So your speedo was out huh

[Banditbandit]

So your speedo was out huh

Speedos on the Bandits are notoriously out ... I thought I was passed at 140 klicks .. and was very pleased when he said "136 ..." I know that up the hill (passed the radar I didn't see ...) the speedo was showing more than 170 klicks .. so I was very lucky I was not walking on the spot ... the cop said he saw me open it up ... I thanked him for not resetting the radar reading

Well then yungatart there must be a lot of idiots that drive that road as there are a lot that do that speed including Newmans coachlines..Not sure what all the drama is about...Nope not one of the heaviest patrolled roads at all, but in saying that one does have to have caution once passed the Opepe reserve heading to Taupo...speed builds with the freefall from the top...So why do people buy fast bikes? maybe we should all be on scooters, those that buy the fast ones do so for a reason and that would be to run the 'gauntlet trying not to collect tickets',any other reason?
