This was a hard Poll for me, as I do not live near any urban areas! Thinking about it, I should of picked option number 3, as I always go 59 km's or less through townships for financial reasons, though my license is squeeky clean.
Show me a winding country road though.......hmmmm and if I were on a supermoto bike, my personality would change in urban areas for sure lol

So that's option 2 then? I try and stay at legal speeds in town myself. I bitch and winge about cagers going through town at 80 so I don't see why bikers should be exempt.

If a Gb500 has that effect on you, do not at all costs ever get a two smoker. I have assumed there is an implicit "except for two strokes" clause in all the poll options. I do not think that any motorcyclist should be held responsible for his actions when under the influence of two stroke smoke.

To me, 59km's indicated is legal, allowing for optimistic speedometer error (thanks acc sign) and tolerance level of the law being 10 or 11km's so to my way of thinking I'm in the lawful zone. I'm a little confused as to what your point is in regards to your quote on my post?

I'm usually a nana, except when i'm running late then I don't mind turning up the wick a bit. To be honest, i'm usually in autopilot around town and on the motorway. Usually the brain only gets switched on properly when i'm out in the country.

Your obviously not riding my bike hard enough, you should be screaming past them so fast that the noise from the exhaust explodes thier inner ear causing them to become disorientated and not know which way to look.

I hope you chose option 3

According to HTDboy it is

I'm usually pretty sensible around town, If you've seen my bike you'll know why

Was in a petrol station and the guy started on at me how he almost killed me back there and when I ignored him he started telling the whole store! lol silly South african accent made me laugh

I mostly ride responsibly but sometimes when in the mood I flog the poor VTZ of Doom like shes a rented mule. Love to stick it to smart arse lane hogging cagers, haven't had one try to aproach me yet.

**Drew** · 4th June 2006, 20:36

Cant think of anything clever to defend my frequent need to ride round town like an arsehole.

But have to mention how tough MADBOY sounds when he says he rides option two style in his opinion, then implies the rest of us will think he's crazy.

A transformation happens when I jump from the SV to the GB. Speed limits, passing procedures (left or right side, whatever presents itself), following distance and cornering speeds become mere suggestions.

Probably when you,re screaming around some blind corner and some overseas tourist is coming towards you in the same lane
