jrandom is Prepared to Kill

[riffer]

Ouch. $300. Bet you're not popular with 'er indoors jrandom.

Attention Dr Cullen. Better amend those figures. Lets make it $7,400,000,300 surplus now...

I really dislike Hobsonville Road. It's boringly slow and often has a van speeding camera parked somewhere. I usually avoid it on my way home from work by taking the country road down past the airbase that links up further down Hob Rd about 400m from my house.

Yeah. I prefer SH28 for a scenic route home from the shore, really.

I'm glad I read this thread cos I would have probably had a wet cd in my mailbox otherwise. Thanks for that.

Was going to PM you, but figured you'd read the thread and work it out...

A-hem. Hmmmph. Cough. The ticket's, er, still in my wallet.

And, as far as I know, she doesn't read KB very often...

I'm such a wuss.

You know, I worked a lot of overtime in '03 (too much, in fact). I figured out this morning that in the financial year to the end of March '04, I paid precisely enough income tax to cover two single mothers on the DPB with two kids each.

And I still don't have any of what was left to play with.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Yes.

I could have killed a few innocent children, dealt some P, defrauded Inland Revenue and insulted my wife's cooking.

But, fortunately, I decided not to bother with any of those this week.

At least you didnt question the wisdom of focussing on speed, and you have accepted that you were prepared to kill...

[Posh Tourer :P]

it happens SO easily, so don't feel too bad.

Not on every bike it dont...... :P

Like the sig BTW

[Blakamin]

sux JR... bloody holdens!
but be happy you weren't going around somebody at the time, which happens around here lots (due to pensioners doing 23kph)
you'd think motorcycle manufacturers might come up with mirrors that show more than elbows soon... after all, we can get HP on tap, but sill cant see what happened yesterday!


i'm just ranting now coz i've been drinking beer... feel free to ignore

[Zed]

Not on every bike it dont...... :P

ALL of us are guilty of strolling over the legal speed limit by 20-30kms from time to time, and if you don't...are you sure you ride a motorbike (scoots excluded)?

[Jackrat]

So I guess that day off an ride up the heads is on hold for a bit huh.
I'm on Hob rd a few days each week,It should be 70k I reckon.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Its not so much a stroll, as a definite walk or even a decent hike, at least on all the bikes I've owned...

Milky's ZXR400 is an exception to that though. It seems to like 120ish (maybe because thats where I notice it getting to and I manage not to let it go too much above). It keeps going there, and I keep saying "down boy", but it just goes back there by itself, I swear....

[MadDuck]

Sorry to put a damper on the "Feel sorry for JR" thread. BUT yes you could have taken some kid out at that speed if the ball had rolled out on the road. Or yourself and how the hell would KB survive without JR. I know I am a bit of a nana but ................

[Posh Tourer :P]

well, yes... but that could happen in any rural town with a 70kmh speed limit too... I know the speed limit is there for a (good?) reason, but accidents do happen. Sometimes there is just no getting away from it.
I'm not advocating speeding here, just trying to offer an alternative viewpoint/look a bit deeper into the "over the limit = dangerous" idea.

[Zed]

Sorry to put a damper on the "Feel sorry for JR" thread....

When I said "I feel for ya" I didn't mean in the sorry sense - I meant it like "yeah I know how much of a dork you feel like cos I been there myself". He deserves everything he gets, so do any of us if/when we get stopped!

...and how the hell would KB survive without JR...

I think you have JR mixed up with SM!

[Zed]

Its not so much a stroll, as a definite walk or even a decent hike, at least on all the bikes I've owned...

...and just what bikes have you owned PT?

[Posh Tourer :P]

...and just what bikes have you owned PT?

MZ ETZ 250

Honda CB125T

BMW R65 LS

and my name is on the ownership papers for the

Kawasaki ZXR400.

Should really change that...

[MadDuck]

Dont get me wrong ....hell that is an acceptable speed in a cage and on a bike if you know what you are doing. But I kinda figure 50 kms for a reason. Maybe I am misguided ....ohh and I know the dork feeling.

Funny how when ya take ya helmet off and theres a chick how lightly the HP really are ...oops maybe I shouldnt have mentioned that one
