I,m a boyracer and a bikea .
so am i or am i not the idiot you all seem to think boyracers are.
No boy racer wants to hurt anyone or their car so the good ones (eg not the bad eggs) are well orgianized.
What i find intersting is the people here seem to think its ok to go fast on a bike but not in a car ??
Immature and proud of it.
If you want to increase bike awarness, ban cheap Jap imports, raise taxes on cars, increase the price of gas.
It worked well until the 80's.
Beware what you wish for though, the increase in bike deaths will bring unwelcome attention.

that is true...Originally Posted by zjet
the way we speed tho isnt through populated areas or simply for showing off which is what many (bad egg) boy racers do it for. As someone said to me they got into bikes because there is far to much wank factor in cars these days (chromes, body kit, sounds and the list goes on)
sure we do some crazy shit but 99% of the time its out on country roads, and we're going out of our way to keep ourselves and other road users as safe as possible, and at the same time being curteous to said other road users.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

No don't do that.
One thing that really pissed me off yesterday was those that were rubishing the young, smiley's or not.
Ok I realise that is not the case here but bare with the old guy while he jumps threads a bit.
I have only been on 3 rides with KB but want to say never have I met such a great bunch of keen, sane and inteligent young guys and girls.
So keep it coming Gareth you have much to contribute.

There isnt anywhere here to turn up and show your bike off, have a cup of coffee/beer and read a paper/gossip. It has to be somewhere in the center of town and high profile so everyone can easily get there.
Some bike shops are starting to warm to the idea of also running a coffee shop (I mean bookshops figured it out ages ago), and a few shops often run club related stuff in association with the shop (eric wood demo days/bbq etc). But there is nowhere for riders to just go and hang out on a saturday/sunday/weekday. Even a local central pub/bar/bistro is a good place.
Many pubs/bistro's have taxi stands outside them and the cabbies dont mind them being parked in by bikers during the day - so long as they are left empty during busy times - you just need to get permission from the right folks.
Not everyone is a poor biker with no money. I think thats what the boy racer was getting at. Some people put some serious bling into their machines (I'm a fan of custom jap bikes - or good graphics mods), and there is simply no place for them to put their bikes on show. In london there were heaps of clubs, one famous one was the 59 rockers club where brit bike enthusiasts used to hang. I know there was a jap bike club and the RC30 (NC/NV/RC) owners club etc. All these separate clubs would often hang out together instead of being seperatist.
Havn't seen any of that here - only the race scene which at the end of the day, not many people are interested in. Although I do notice that the scooter folks in christchurch are starting to mob together, so there may be hope yet.

When in reality they are a bunch of Suzuki-riding, full-face-helmet wearing, dodgy old guys...
I'm sure the cops are well aware of the pace of most sprots-bike rides...Honestly, if the cops had any idea the "pace" of our rides.. well not me cause i stick to 70kms..but.. they would be all ove rus..
Aargh, photos!

Done most of that in the 50s. it's amazing how a handful of throttle and a blast on the horn can help cure a little old lady's arthritis. Always gave me a cheery wave with their walking sticks. Cleaned up quite a few cars too but that was an easy job on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Drew the line at baking cakes. not my forte.
Seriously, a lot of bikers do charity work, toy or charity runs etc. Does it make the headlines.?? No chance. a brief note in the local rag and it's forgotten. Bad news is good. No-one wants to hear about samaritans. Evil bastards on big bikes get more readers. The rest of us get tarred with the same brush.

Road Knights - been done before...imagine...a couple has a flat tyre on a lonely country road,he has a broken leg and unable to help his wife change the wheel - then they hear the sound of a lone motorcycle coming towards them,a sharp intake of breath and the wife glances at her husband...
''Oh John! Listen,that sounds like a motorcycle,he'll help us,they always do!'' 'You're right Mary,nothing is too much for those guys,always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need'.
A handsome leather clad motorcyclist pulls up behind the disabled car,gets off and walks up to the couple - ''Looks like you need a hand,don't worry,I'll sort it out for you.Take a seat in the car and have a coffee from my handy Thermos while I change the wheel'' Off he goes and from his pack takes a handy reflective sign and several cones to mark out a hazzard,placing cones several meters around the corner to warn other motorcyclist of a danger.The wheel is changed in no time and our gallant motorcyclist dismantles his emergency road works warning kit and departs forthwith.
''Oh John,wasn't that nice of that young man,isn't there something we can do to repay him,he wouldn't take our money...''
'Don't worry Honey,I've meet these guys before,they are just happy to help us car drivers in trouble....but I know we can send a donation to SpankMe at KiwiBiker,it's the least we can do....'
