Kaikoura Coast 80kmh limit

[James Deuce]

How could you see him? Was everyone else kneeling or something?

OT - but make sure you get a Kiwi Rider Merv - slap bang in the middle of the Cap coast report crowd shot you are.

No worries. Remember I've been a subscriber since before many of the people here were born.

Hey Jim must be time you got a dirt bike too!!

[James Deuce]

Shhh - she might see that and then I'll be wearing the frying pan dent for a hat.

Big Dave you see this on ADVRider http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136498? No worries about 80km/hr limits on that trip.

Some of the guys are my regular weekly lunch crew - caught up with them today except 4skins never showed today. Missed the ride last weekend myself been too busy after just getting back from 2 week hols.

Except I got booked for doing 99 in my Hillman Hunter at Chertsey in '76 - pigs!!

Ha nothings changed, its still their favourite hunting ground mid arvo & mid evening their always snooping around. One Chic in particular is about as popular as the mumps, locally known as the 'black widow'

yes - i have been following

I've been burning around doing this sort of stuff last few days - 80kph was about right. Just give it a squirt to rark up on exiting the corners.

4 skins sent me a very nice note about the coverage of the capital coast too.
all good.

I like this bit

"The Transit board's approval for this 80kmh speed zone is a significant step to improving the safety of State Highway 1 in the Kaikoura area," he said.

The move would mainly slow traffic to stop drivers going into the highway's tight bends too fast, he said.

yeah right

All the more reason to take the inland route.

[James Deuce]

Jantar, shhh!!

Remember, "I seee nuthink!"

That way they won't drop the speed on the inland route.

It just about makes me cry to think that I could be walking home at 121 km/hr. A quick overtake, and boom, you're walking.

And watch the increase with the instant loss of licence as a result of lowering the speed limit to 80K's. I've been trying to say that this should be the number one concern of the biking community but no one is listening.

Am I alone on this???

Nah, don't worry - there's not enough cops out there to get ALL of you - AND its only the unlucky ones that get caught, and besides, any KBer worth their salt can do a runner from the pigs anytime anyway....
