Poll on stuff.co.nz today (18/02/2006)

[madboy]

Officially and quite legally I've averaged ~253 over the flying quarter on the bike, still accelerating too. Imagine how much faster I woulda been going on a Gixxer thou with an ambo chasing me. And in the car I was sitting nicely around 230ish when some twat on a TL cruised past... yeah, you know who you are!!

What that poll says to me is that 97.5% of NZ drivers are killers in wait.

and 2.5% of NZers are liars..

Most I've ever done is around 490kph...

Relative to space that is.

Actually you've done better than that...

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It's orbiting at ninety miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
Through an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.
