Had an older sheila tell me they look like a ''Stretch and Grow'' suit a wee while a go !!!

Probably cos mine are a bit stretched in places these days ??

shit, I'd look like a fuckin telly tubby

Actually, you need to define ride quite well with respect to the circumstances. While there is some crossover of skills, mostly, going fast on a race track and riding well on the road have totally different mindsets, lines blah blah.

and you KNOW the track day brigade completely dismiss that......
i envy your tenacity though mate.

have to spread more rep, sorry!

I would like to point out that the road he was on used to be a 100K zone, the last few years the F##kn PC homo's in the waikato / waipa district council have been reducing speed limits and shortening passing lanes on nearly all busy over used roads. They seem to be pretty determined to do the opposite of FUTURE PROOFING highways and country roads out of town (i.e expanding etc for population growth)


On a more serious note, My LAMS bike loses the wind in its sails at 172kph

18 deaths on Waikato so far this year, the worst in five years.

''Four of the 18 Waikato deaths this year – 22 per cent – involved motorcyclists.''

Not sure why you responded to his post with that, but his post was correct, they are producing rolling traffic jams with the lowering of the speed limit, and the removal of passing opportunities.

Most slow travelling vehicles that drive slow in the 'tricky bits', and hold up the flow of traffic, are also speeding up to/above the speed limit on passing lanes and straights where you can actually pass, and those opportunities are few and far between.

Motorcyclists are getting taken out by frustrated or poorly skilled drivers, or all by themselves by taking risks or by having little experience, but I don't think those numbers you quoted are that significant...

The Waikato is a big place, there are more riders/drivers on the road, and it is a much more fun place to ride around in than Auckland or Hamilton...

Yeah .. we don't need that many people in the Waikato ... more should be killed off ... we CAN do better ..

To answer your question, it's very evident that there are those who are very quick to redirect (you included it would seem, highlighted in bold) their piss poor decisions at others, anyone but themselves by way of ''slow travelling/frustrated or poorly skilled drivers''.
Here's a hint: Don't take the risk, live another day.

From looking at his facebook profile, it would appear that the lad is not exactly the cream of the crop in any case. Probably thinks he is being hard done, but probably doesn't realise that it's massive blessing and has probably saved his useless life.

Some nice video evidence for the police of deliberate sustained loss of traction on a public road also I see.

That's an interesting interpretation of my post, not quite what I was on about though.
