Boy racers are such tossers!

[Pixie]

Ok so the old chestnut of how some of these cars will piss all over bikes has resurfaced.
The point is:the drivers of these cars are useless.I'm not saying there aren't some skilled drivers around,just that they are few and far between.I have encountered one driver in a legacy that kept up with me on SH16 after I passed him.I was riding at 70% of my comfort limit and after 10 km I think he scared himself and gave it a rest.
I have had several drivers follow me into corners too fast and lose it over the years.And it wasn't always when I was on a bike either;once I was in a mitsubishi magna and the pillock trying to race me ended up sliding sideways through Long Swamp near Mere Mere,after failing to take the corner at the end of the long straight in the wet.Another arse who took exception to being passed.
As for the Boi's,you don't develop many driving skills cruising up and down Queen Street.

Yeah but you get to learn what it feels like to drive with a tiny visor or something - most of them I can just see the eyes between the steering wheel and the dash
Glad I got out of that phase real quick!

Yeah, but I also feel like killing people, dont mean I follow thru on those thoughts either :eyepoke:

Do you have those thoughts often?
Got any guns?
Do you work for NZ Post?

OF THE REAL CAR`S OUT THERE THAT WILL KICK MOST BIG BIKES ARSES AROUND CORNERS AND UP THE MOTORWAY

Name some, just for the M/way bit.
As for the fabled 'street' cars that do sub 11 quarters. I guess you can count them on the fingers of one foot.
Anyway, after 160 k's it's pretty academic, and all cars are toast till then.

R1madness - 10.9.
Litre plus bikes will do sub 12's all day unless the rider has reflexes measured in minutes
And you should know as well as me that sub 12's on a sticky strip with warm tyres is not the same as at a set of traffic lights.

Lou, there ARE a few cars that do sub 11s. Im often blown away by the number of them. Technology seems to advance pretty quickly. And with most being awd's they are pretty consistent.

Speed/Acceleration wise, I dont care if it's a horse on steroids - if its fast, gimme a ride!
