Seems to be "one of" the highest speeds. Damn why can't they tell us the "highest".

Careful, there are a few black bikes in Welly. I happen to know of a black bike that goes that very way just about everyday and its not madboy...

[Wasp]

yea ture... just remembered i saw a guy up by deano's on a black bike riding round with no helmet/gear at night. (got down right shitty when my mate didnt pull the van over and give him more space)

You cheeky bugger!!!! The mighty GS is a veritable rocketship - well compared to a Vespa or most cars.

But come on, you'd be working at it to get up to, let alone maintain 200 along SH2 between Petone and Ngauranga. I'd love to see someone try it though.

Seems like another urban legend to me.

ummm.. sorry to burst ya bubble there... unless my speedoo is well out......

I could probably have a bad try at it with a tail wind and a testicle implant.......

Right, time to feed the fire.

1. It wasn't me. I know this because I bumped into a fellow biker at lunchtime today who asked me if I was riding a [not black and not my type of] bike up Newlands at 230k getting chased by the cops last night. News to me.
2. The one on Melling earlier this week wasn't me either. I know this because I would have ridden from my mother's house (free shower while my bathroom is in bits), past my daughters school and then up to Melling at somewhere around 8.30am. Not a chance in hell I'd be doing anything in that area at that time dodgy enough to warrant any sort of runner.
3. Where can't you do 200k on SH2 between Petone and Ngauranga? Okay, traffic may be a mitigating factor, but if you're keen enough you can.
4. An indicated 260 is quite achievable on SH2 between Hutt and Ngauranga at peak hour. Ahem... so I've been told. And no, you dumbarses, there is more to the story than that.
5. 184 on camera? I admit nothing, but I bet there's someone in the camera office staring at a recent pic of a black bike wondering who the bastard is at a speed greater than 184. I'm pretty sure, at least when they first came out, the cameras got to 200 and then said "200+" or something like that. They didn't keep reading over that.
6. Just because you or your bike can't do something, don't assume that all bikes or bikers can't do that, or don't do that. A modern thou sportsbike would hit 200k easily within a standing 1/4 mile, needless to say it doesn't take much to get up to that speed, or down from it, between carefully spaced traffic.
7. Every runner done in Wellington does not necessarily involve me. Runners were done long before I was around, and will probably be done long after I'm gone.

now peak hour would be between 8 and 9am, and 260k between the hutt and
ngauranga at this time, a tad exaggerated me thinks

[Madness]

I heard from a very reliable source that the offending bike was initially spotted doing "approximately 200km/hr" along The Esplanade in Petone and then made a run into Ngauranga, Up the Gorge, where the Ecilops lost him.

Guilty until proven innocent eh, Madboy?

What time of day was this?

[Madness]

Last night at around 11.15 Pm in the evening.

Let me know your cell number and I'll take you pillion some time. I'm not advocating it, I don't make a habit of it, but I do know it's quite possible at that time of day. I should point out that it was "indicated", and maybe I did exaggerate a little, but the needle was a lot closer to 260 than 250. Maybe 230-240 actual then.

200k on the esplanade? Is that what sparked the pursuit or is that during the chase? I can understand it during, but sheesh, that's gettin big even by my standards if they were just doing it for fun. It's not a particularly smooth piece of road at that speed. I can think of safer places to get a buzz.

I believe that is what sparked the pursuit. I may be wrong on this point.

I used to get my RG250 up to 200 odd along Cambridge Tce (Paralell to train tracks) when I was 16, late at night. Very bumpy at that speed, would never do it these days, my brain has matured a little.

Its all very well for me to sit at the computer and post shit, but you got me, my balls are way to small to get on the back with you, why do you think i ride a triumph, 230 -240 is a bit more realistic i think
