Outrageous riding

**racefactory** · 9th January 2011, 22:36

Who were the 2 coonts absolutely flying through East Coast Bays today? A red Ho-bag 250 and a Kawa 650R.

Not only did you get snapped by the speed camera but what's up with the knee down round those blind bends? Literally 100kmh around some of those 50 zone bends, actually saw your knee bouncing off those bumps. No chance to anticipate anything in front at all.

Fucking giving us a bad name is all I have to say to you guys... there is a time and a place for that shit and it's called 7am on the backroads.

Remember that next time you ride your bike on public roads the way it was intended to be ridden by those that built it eh,if you bought the 996 purely to ride on a track ignore my post,if not then theres that old saying "people who live in glass houses blah blah blah".

For fucks sake man, I'm not denying I won't go balls out on the road...but there is a time and a place for it- 6AM on the country back roads. This can not be stressed enough. All the knee down and peg grinding you want out there, eat your heart out.

In other words not East Coast bays on a sunny Sunday with fucking campervans, corollas and cyclists left right and center!

6am on a backroad down here (no doubt everywhere these days) means fresh cow shit not to mention cows/tractors (its making hay time eh) etc.Not having a crack fella and i love the back roads myself,just typing it as i know it.

No worries mate, everyone's got their own roads eh. Not THAT primitive the ones I'm talking about up here, no cows or any of that kind.

All good fella.Cheers.

You're quite right about being 'full of shit' though... you really would be a fucking mess if you had to have your head pulled from a cows backside after stacking your bike right into one around the bend.

Anchors on and just avoid passing him, somehow that CBR had disappeared. I could see him fixated on me in his mirrors. I knew he'd stop me, he would have heard the sound from quite a while back. As I remained near the side of him I thought how on earth am I getting out of this one... better get ready to break the bank. Yeap, the lights went on... but suddenly I noticed the next exit was coming up so I held the position as his disco lights kept blazing and at the very last moment, threw her hard over and shot across his back on to the off ramp and watched him cruise on bewildered, lights still blazing. Could only laugh to myself. T'was the last I saw of him!!!

Anyway, that was my adventure today. Anyone else got any short stories for the day?

Ride safe guys, take it easy out there.

+1. Doing the heavily populated 50km/h section of East Coast Bays road at 100km/h is simply dangerous. They probably did it for some fun and because they accepted the risk they perceived. Doesn't make the rest of us road users happy though.

Sounds like were about to do the same thing yourself - and no doubt would not have made the other road users around you happy either.

AMCC have their ART day on the 16th. Enjoy pinning your throttle open there.
