Is it not the new watercooled Harley in disguise then? Shortland st, yep pissed of they showed the stereotype bad biker behaviour, and on another note has that english guy got aids or something? He doesn't look right to me.

I saw this last night as well, my gf loves it and religiously will watch it every night.

For those that missed it, you can watch it here, I think the ride is roughly half way through?

Not sure on the deal for tvnzondemand, but I think you can watch it indefinitely for next 7 days.

edit:
Think you actually have to download it to watch all of it..

I'm waiting for the Ebola episode, when they all start puking blood and die.

That sounds like a shorty episode worth watching. Especially if the director & producers are starring in it too

WTF... errr why

Man, that bike is obscene!

[skidMark]

Yeah.. caught it out the corner of my eye too..

Was bloody stupid really.. guy rode like a ferkin maniac weaving in & out of traffic.. & pillions legs were flying up round her ears..

wasn't impressed bout the image of motorcyclists that was portrayed!!!

rant over..

dammit i was on my way to work i didn't know they were recording that scene!

This is a confusing thread, because it's ostensibly about the "GN250 on Steroids on Shitland Street", then someone throws a "whatabouttheHardlyHondaonTardMe" red herring into the mix, and we have two separate lots of crapola flying back'n'forth.

At the start of Blade II Good ol' Wes is fighting a coupla Vampire dudes on Ducatis ..... that sound like inline 4s!

What is the point of putting them on beautiful works of art that produce a pure symphony of sound and then overdubbing with "Land of the rising howl"?

I suspect it's some Hollywood foley artist in-joke thing. Watch any piece of TV or movie with bikes, and see how many times the soundtrack changes. You'll often get a mix of two-smoke, four-stroke, singles, twins, fours, etc. in the soundtrack. PuddingPimp has several sets of "Knight Rider" DVDs, and there are bikes on a couple of them. One memorable episode I caught had what looked like an XT of low displacement, that sounded variously like a motocrosser, a Harley, a Honda CB750, an XR500, but just about never like a Yamaha.

GN250 on Shortland St; could it have been a GN400? They look really quite similar but you might get a burnout out of one of those

Hilarious. I didn't know that show was still running?

Nah, definitely a GN250, oops sorry a TVNZ GNR-1000RR....

even better if it was reality tv
edit: some download it and put up some screen caps eh? us 56k'ers feel underpriviledged

Been and gone, all died then came back as zombies (explains the dead plot). But Dr Ropata wasnt a very good zombie so he looked for a role as a cop (they had to cover his face in that role though)

Oooh I love shorty street!!!!!!
But yes, the bike scene was not cool! But when Yvonne started talking about bikes.. man that was FUNNY!
The guy who rode the bike is hot... how is that not a good portrayal of a biker?

[skidMark]

a lil trick for gn 250's

is to get a 350 cc head for them i think it was off a DR350 if my memory serves me rightly

you get head bore piston etc. might need the conrod too

and bolt it on bolts straight onto a gn250 engine/box

makes em go like a dingo with a baby
