These aren't rumours - I've heard it myself, while talking to them

These people, by their own statements, don't have any idea what they are talking about. Period.

What worries me, is what Mr Hitcher is going to say when he sees the title of this thread! It won't be pretty , folks.

EXACTLY - cos they've never been out on a ride with us...

KBers are the best - always helpful.

Even Mikey and Winja - they really are soft toffees once you get to know them.

I haven't met a single bad KB - and I've met most of the active KB'ers from Auckland

I hope you passionately defended *us* when you heard them making those false assertions JSG?

Hell your not looking to hard, one KBer i can think of is 'bad' enough to qualify as a group by himself.....he knows who he is!

"Those KBers are fuckin nutters!"

I went for a ride once with Crashe and Keystone and Big Dave and a whole bunch of other KBers and they were riding really irresponsibly and tooting their horns and waving back at kids who'd waved at them and all sorts.

Morons, the lot of them.

I do wheelies a track days. I can't do a proper MR/Loosebruce style stoppy to save myself but the only "pits" I've ever done a wheelie in (other than a sterilizer at Ruapuna) is Manfield.

If that makes me a dangerous arsehole, bring it on. Sounds more like your mates got so embarassed by a ZXR400 on a highspeed track they'd start a rumour to save face.

Someone here has the signature line "Ever noticed how anyone slower than you is a moron and everyone faster is an idiot?" or words to that effect. True words unfortunately.

IM dissappointed that you didnt stick up for KB... how the hell do you know that it was KBers??? How do they know??? I know for a fact that alot of the litre crew go to track days and do wheelies and stoppies... Also, doing a wheelie out of the pits entering the front straight is probably the safest place to do a wheelie...

I know i upset a few people at the last trackday i went to, due to passing them (at what i believe to be a safe spacing)... I apoligised and said i would give them more room...

What track day was it???

**FROSTY:Me** · 5th November 2005, 15:38

Ts--well you lunatic you--out there on the track -practicing for a race meeeting-WHAT WERE YA THINKING????????
Worse clearly you are a novice rider with NO clues as to passing distances.

Sorry, it seems I didn't give full information.

I was told about the "twattish behaviour" by a friend of mine, he knows that KBers are a varied and great bunch, even commenting on two in particular, one on a little 150 in pinkish red leathers that was carving it up and one on an SV650 that he couldn't catch on his ZX6! This incident was at an open testing day not a trackday as pointed out, and although I can't be 100% accurate as I wasn't there it was said to have involved a rider who had recently got back into biking and bought a larger capacity sportsbike, and the KiwiBikers were identified by the label on thier T-shirts that said "KiwiBiker".

This is a separate incident to the wheelie-stoppie incident and sorry for any mixup there, that was a bit of a non-event but as there was only four of us at the track on bikes and at the other end of the pits was the Formula Challenge guys waiting for thier customers to arrive, I thought "hmm, what's it like when more KBers get together at Puke?" That is when the comment was made about the rider leaving the puke circuit.
So when the 'wheelie-er' came back and did a stoppie as well I made the comment "Careful dude, don't get us booted out of here" hiding behind a veiled threat of authority as I am really a big girls blouse.

I will continue to tell people what I think is inappropriate behaviour, I don't think that stunting in the pit lane is appropriate/safe for what is considered to be a "safe controlled environment", and I don't think that any behaviour that causes somebody to leave an open-day is appropriate (always an exception to the rule I will admit(maybe the guy was a cock? I don't know)).

I myself am not immune to the "hammer of inappropriate behaviour" as I was hit by it twice at the Taupo KB Trackday, once for placing myself in an inappropriate group and again for binning (big no-no that one).

As for my avatar, that was at the Waikato Rally 2 and as I didn't want anyone else to suffer any consequences of my actions I chose a small off-road to partake in that activity on my own, also ensuring that the tyre did not sit still long enough to tear up any seal, I am sorry for the air pollution from the smoke, but then I am an irresponsible bastard.

I am sure thats the only reason MR brings his push bike along!

**FzerozeroT** · 5th November 2005, 20:27

But if he goes down in a screaming heap he's only going to hurt himself, unless he knocks over a gas can and a whole pit area goes up in flames! Think of the children!

lesson 1: dont apply logic.
lesson 2: dont apply logic ever.
lesson 3: refer above x2

these valuable lessons are learnt by having a power hungry dutch mother-fucker act normal

Sorry usually don't get involved but i am moderatley pissed so gonna put my 2c worth in..

I have come to notice that "stunts" has become the next hot topic of conversation on this forum. Particularly when not to do them etc etc. And from what i gather...
1) people get pissed off when you do them on the road
2) people get pissed off when you do them on the track

So you can hate me you can love me but get over yourselves. If it is not endangering anyone then don't comment. Don't lump all KB's into one set cause they aint and if you are a true KB;er I would think that you would stick up for the site and point this out to anyone who speaks out against them in that manner.....

As for stunts well I have said my peace somewhere else on the forum. FzerozeroT I'm sure you're a nice guy and all but please if someone else gets f**ked off with stunting and they decide to walk away that's thier tough sh*t. If they think it's wrong complain, not that much would come of it on an open day, then that is there business.......

Feck it i'm off to bed got a lot of dangerous irresponsible behaviour to do tomorrow...

Thats exactly why I started this thread, because someone felt threatened enough on an open-day to leave the track, I don't have a problem with the stunting in pit lane, but others may (looks like frosty does so you'd better give him a bailing instead) and if you are going to associate that with KiwiBiker or help get me booted off the track then I get pissed.

Nope, not really. I'm a lazy, skinny, wife-beater with mongrel dogs and a two-stroke, doesn't get any worse than that.
