So here's a thought.
We have NO road deaths due to speeding.
Yet the road toll stays the same.
What then?

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

The magic is in the rubbing.
couple of weeks ago on the road I live on they had a seatbelt checkpoint set-up, traffic lined up for about 20 cars or more and they didn't check for alcohol either, warrants/rego and seatbelts. Quite a few got the ticket too!Originally Posted by Swoop
They really do not get the grasp of this tax-collecting business, do they?
Having driven through multiple checkpoints over the last couple of weeks, at NO time was a breath test administered. Surely during this time of the year, if The Beak is going to inconvenience people and cause traffic jams, go the whole hog and do a proper job.

When mixed with heroin in the other arm it certainly did for River Phoenix.

Insurance is between $1300 and $1500 a year I think, for a 1L Supermoto, insured around $20k. I presume the premium is partly that high due to tickets.
Loss of license specifically, attracted a $400 special excess, if I made any claims. Excess was on insurance for 2 years after incident.
Never have made any claims.

Looks like I'll stick to the backroads if I go to Wanganui for boxing day.
Embracing mediocrity
Ah well, more time looking at the speedo, less time looking at the road.
It's nice to be safe.
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

The amount of traffic on the road to Wanganui boxing day will be something to behold. How do you plan to ride that day?
1) Stay in line in slow stop start traffic?
2) Trickle up the center passing carefully and keeping under 100clicks?
3) Race up the center and speed limit be dammed?
Here for the ride.

Yep I just arrived back in the safety zone as wellAhh yes, but they reset after 2 years....but I know it can be stressful times when you low on demerits, I just got 50 back from my last ticket

they are also closing down passing lanes in order to maintain a steady flow of traffic and to prevent accidents, I shit you now. the logic is completely retarded.
Jam and tarts....
Whaaaaaaa?
Keeping the traffic at 80 and pissing off some f'witt who can't pass up the passing lane? Said f'witt pulls out in a blind corner and hits a group of bikes, or dogs, or a hotdog stand, regardless it's going to be interesting.
