Reading and posting in the Compulsory insurance thread, there is a lot of dislike, even hatred for the alleged \"boy racers\", I would like to know what is your opinion as a motorcyclist what a \"boy racer\" is
Lets have a collective definition of a \"boy racer\" that we as bikers, all hate with a vengence.
Ill start with a carried on mis quote from scum dog.
Johnny trolley boy at paknsave, sick of driving his mums corrolla, goes down to Shackels no deposit easy finance yard on his learners licence with $1 dollar and drives out in a gimick rally car turbo 4wd. A week later heads off to mag and turbo, for the big chrome wheels and lowering kit and 6 inch tip, goes next door to DUV DUV SOUNDS and gets a stereo louder than those at the night clubs he loves to drive past repeatedly, \"doing laps\" on friday and saturday nights.
All of this bought on finance at rip off rates, $20,000 car with extras for the next 6 years costing him $40000, if he\'s lucky and the car doesn\'t blow up after 10,000km of him launching and winding the boost up he might get to sell it back off for $10k, and keep the debt.
He drives down your 50kmh street at 80, he takes your sons and daughters out cruising, corrupts them no doubt, as you brought them up better than \"him\", takes part in minor crime, does skids and races peopel at every set of traffic lights, is a menace to society, is going no where career wise. Congregates with other boy racers and they race around the streets at stupid speeds, find new subdivisons and destroy them. What else scum dog?
I find it to be a goebbelistic exercise of scapegoating set up by some not so smart, but smarter than the average kiwi, political types, they are an undefined species yet blamed for so much. They have made law a \"boy racer act\" yet no definition of boy racerism exists, they have fooled the average new zealander into being scared of these boy racer types. So scared that laws a swiftly passed through out of sheer terror the boy racers might get you next. I find more to fear in the average kiwi motorist, on bike, or driving trucks or cars myself.
Whats your take on boy racers? Do you have a definition? Experiences of the so called boy racers endangering lives?
