R1 on a quiet Friday

[Akzle]

Big call comin' from where you do....

my uncle and dad are two different people...how many of you can say that

Charges?
Apart from riding when he already had his licence cancelled and possibly pissed there's enough info coming through (and not just for the crash) to lead to a dangerous driving charge.

\not that it matters but when he DID have a licence it was a 1R.

I'm sure if the judge is feeling cranky, his suspension total will exceed 12 months, and the fellow will need to go through the entire licence process from scratch. Doubt it'll change much though.

Biker being a diddle.
Driver being a diddle.

Scummy, fine them all for being dumb fucks.
Waste of an R1.

I didn't know anyone outside of my 4 year old nephew called anyone diddles any more....


Love a work, great word

Nek Minnit a Honda 1100 cruiser arsed off the road in the Manuka Gorge the following day.

Too long since last ride (decades) on a borrowed bike, veered to far to the left on a right-hand bend, hit loose grit on the left of the fog-line and ta-da, shower of gravel and bits of bike and he came to rest.

Bump on head (a tad concussed) and lots of gravel rash where his jeans failed to handle the friction.

Jacket and gloves saved the rest of him.

Unridable to say the least - good for parts at first glance

probably best you buy one already fucked then, save you the physical pain of endo-ing it yourself . . .

I think I left myself open to that one lol

Anything is admissible on KB - after all you post here

But the guy was doing a semi-stoppie trying to stop - his rear wheel was leaving a black strip on the road each time it touched down.

And from first touch to impact was 43 metres.

So I doubt he was doing 50kph.

Ok, I've just punched this data into a calculator. An experienced rider on good tyres on a dry surface, and with a perfect braking technique would stop in 43 meters from 100 kmh at 0.9G.

The same rider travelling at 120 kmh would still be doing 66.3 kmh at impact.

However it sounds like he wasn't an experienced rider, so lets work on only 0.5 G.

From 100 kmh he would still be doing 66.3 kmh at impact, the same as an experienced rider at 120 kmh.
To stop in 43 m the inexperienced rider would have to be going no more than 74 kmh.

So my guess is that the police estimate of 100+ would be fairly close to the mark.
