My grin was twice as big as anyone elses when I got to Wellsford as well.

I love bikes.

makes me wonder what those 1000hp Atlas Copco motors can pull

Each to their own SM. For some people making a car go fast is how they get their kicks, just like us riding sportsbikes that are beyond our ability.

Yes, but bikes = cool and cars = suck. I think it's Newton's fourth law or something.

Hahaha I have this conversation with with car euthusiest mates whenever we get on the booze. They will rant on about how their wankwank done up car goes so fast, at which point I take great pleasure at informing them that their car is in fact shit and almost any bike will urinate on them at the lights. They then change tack and say its about looking cool instead of going fast, to which I must question why they drive a cardboard box with a rice spoiler... and it goes on from there. Point is-some people are just sore losers

a 600hp RX7 would worry me at the lights

**Karma** · 6th June 2006, 00:28

I get more worried by Nissan Bluebirds with taxi signs on them... that or bus drivers...

Another dreamer... read some of the comments hahaha

I'll say! I gave up on hotting up cars when I figured out you could beat most of em off the mark with nothing more than a $2000 250cc, then make em look completely rediculous with a $10,000 (So cheaper than their boy racer wanker mobiles) stock gixer, fireblade or ninja.
You want real speed and to show the world you have balls then do it on 2 wheels. Theres more skill and thrill in piloting a big bike well than driving a car fast.

It's interesting to note how many people with xxxHP cars (and bikes) have never actually been within a hundred metres of a dyno. It's also worth noting how many 300hp cars grace the pages of NZ Performance Car (I think that's the name) on their dyno days... bugger all, most are around the 100kw level, and it's only the big 6 cylinders that seem to even get near 200kw at all.

It was this one, doesn't have the stickers now though.

I'm not a particuarly huge fan of modified japanese cars, particularly rotarys but even I thought it was pretty cool

Had a head to head ... no, head to void with a couple of cages who thought it fun to race up the rimatukas yesterday... It was all very exciting, they were using lots of revs, tonnes of exhaust noise, getting close up into the slip streams of the other cars on the road and even taking the racing lines (almost in to an oncoming cop car). They even managed to get passed me, and then gain another 2 cars on me.

I had already had my fun for the day, so I just sat whare i was anyway the road was damp, and I wanted to see their show. eventually I got tired of sitting in the queue and sauntered passed the lot of them. they tried to keep up, but despite apprearences not hard enough.

I did feel sorry for them though... not just because they are in a car but because they hadn't enough sense to find a decent road to play on. 4:30pm on the way back in to wellington after a long weekend is a tad to try and race on.

Im sure there are 400+ HP cars out on NZ roads, but the majority of people who own those cars, respect their cars. I used to enjoy cars that much, but then someone introduced motorbikes, which i had never thought about.

while they are spending HUGE amounts of money on cars, bikes are cheaper and more exciting

and hell i can't wait until i can
