YZF-R15 at 170ks?

Mustve been in 8th gear.

And twin front disk, full-size rear swingarm....and a rear tyre wider than a pencil.

[hayd3n]

its kinda nice having a yellow bike for a change

[Gremlin]

Since when did the south have a motorway?

[fatzx10r]

at least now i'll stop being asked if it was me doing the runner the other night

[Metastable]

His cornering got wilder and loser just before his bin, reckoned it was because his rear-brake faded too much??

(There's a thought he was over-cooking the corners and using his rear brake so as not to 'stand-up' the bike by braking mid-corner using the front brakes. But that's just conjecture and guesswork)

Huh? On a sportbike if you have your brakes on before the corner and are tipping into the corner, the bike shouldn't be standing up. Actually this is the way a racer would typically brake into a corner.... it is the "correct" way to take a corner if the objective is to go fast.

Please understand, I'm not saying one should do this during regular street riding. As far as the rear end getting lose, this often happens when braking hard for a corner and possibly not downshifting smoothly.

Some bikes might want to stand up mid corner if the brakes are applied after the corner has already started.... but if a guy is riding quickly, then I don't see why this would even be an issue.

Sop he couldn't ride for shit and was a pussy. 170k? Come on....open it up.


But, yeh, it was me.

Edit: Did he wave?

[unstuck]

Naughty boy DL. Jacob shreck(rip) would of got him.

[Okey Dokey]

Surely no one here on kb would ride like that

I wonder if he has saved a copy of the ODT when he appeared on the cover!

[Madness]

....But that's just conjecture and guesswork

Good to see you're using those highly developed policeman skills of yours Scummy!

[Big Dave]

Huh?

He means improperly applying the front brake after the cornering maneuver has commenced. Too late into it and setting up a high side.

[oldrider]

Just a dumbarse playing another supporting roll in the ACC $ cost increase campaign!

ACC and Nick Smith must go hysterical (with laughter) when they see these guy's in action!

"volunteering" to help them raise anti motorcycle opinion!

Well put BD, it was what I was trying to say...and this guy (apparently) tried his rear brake to 'correct' things - only too often it seems

[Little Miss Trouble]

YZF-R15 at 170ks?

and looks remarkably like a 2002 R1...

[schrodingers cat]

Must have been low on fuel by then.

[scumdog]

Nope.

Had managed to sneak some fuel in while in Dunedin.

Just low on "Fark I'm being chased by the rozzers and better get away from them by riding really well" skills.
