The amazing Boy Racer Poll!

[SPORK]

With repeditive 'beats' blasting out at unholy hours of the morning? You know, the boomb boomb booomb bbooooooooomb booomb booomb booomb bbooooooooomb stuff?

[SPORK]

Should've voted that I hate them now that i think of it, they make too much damn noise with those stupid exhausts, and waste petrol. Last time i was in Auckland city on Saturday night, I must have seen the same line of cars pass me over 10 times

I just wish my FXR had more power, then I could waste the boy racers in my street with their hotted up glanzas and pulsars, then they would stop thinking their cars are so flash.

Yay, my first post.

Hey, welcome aboard! I'm sure you will get a nice 'Wari Welcome' if you post up a thread in the New Member Speak forum!

Here is a free sample

na i dont wear a cap backwards. but my stereo is somewhat loud but i dont
have it on full noise so people stare at me .

[Ms Piggy]

They make me laugh. With their pssshhhttttt's and doff, duff, daff sounds systems. We saw one going through the square in Palmerston on Sunday afternoon (yes afternoon, not evening) who could hardly see over the dash of the car. We decided he was either a dwarf or he had sold the drivers seat to get some mo bling fo tha ride.

HA HA, thanks madcat, you're so generous :sly:

Just thought of it, have you ever noticed there are differnt classes of boy racers? I noticed it at school yesterday, the white guys usually will have a relatively cheap hatchback of some sort while the asian guys will have an expensive coupe.

Does anyone know how much a difference those big exhausts that hang precariously close to the ground and fit a whole fist into actually make to the performance? Apart from the illusion of feeling like your are going faster...

Challenge them to a race across town at 6pm. Then they will realise the error of their ways.

Let it be known that the fxr is a lean mean lane splitting machine.

what do those pssht things do anyway...? I have notised that they seem to dump all the compressed air in the turbo, and then have a sudden shortage of air for their next gear... (second post for me)
personally, i dont mind the boy racers, as long as they piss off so they stop annoying people, dont they realise that if they go where no-one is around, people wouldn't give a shit, and then everyone would be happy. If going fast in cars is your thing, go dodge or chev, when I was in canada in July, I drove my uncles chev ute, produces around 350 HP, and 512 ft/lb of torque, and it was a diesel!!, now thats power

Just curious what age group do you hand the most tickets out to.

I've never thought about that but probably the 18 - 30'ish age group, they are usually the ones behaving like half-breeds, very broadly speaking. I prefer to ticket "stupid" rather than a particular age demographic.

As long as they keep off the Moutere Highway, Mot Valley, West Bank and Takaka Hill roads as them's biking roads.

Reducing back-pressure, gasses flow more freely, more revs and less torque.

See any rally cars with big exhausts lately?

The amount of BR's cruizing around with the wheels totally out of alignment and the steel belts showing through the tyres...

They're supposed to reduce the lag (that gap in acceleration when the turbo is winding hard, then you change gear). But there's argument about whether it actually does any good... plus it sounds daft.

The sad thing is that the noise is created by the compressed air being vented to the atmosphere. On Most/any/all/some factory turbo cars, the pressure is vented back into the airbox, thus no wanky psshht noise.

I saw an ad for a blow off valve a while back. It had a trumpet on it to amplify the phssst, but was advertised as having a 'stealth' mode where it didn't make any noise, and a 'race' mode where it made the familar Friday/Saturday night noise.

Race mode? Huh? I guess it illustrates the flawed association between noise and performance that many of these boys and girls harbour.

(Not to say all loud things are bad, I've never met a V twin I didn't like )

I live about 5min from the local Burnout road & get the Little fuck wanker's dropping diesel all over the road where I go home on so they can get their car's to do burn out's .
Not to good for the bike when you come home at night & ride through it & nearly bin it . So took my 355chev HZ down there one night & waited till some turned up then backed my Ute right up to the front of one of their Evo thingy & showed them how it was done with out the help of Diesel . Left Two fucken big holes in the road for about 20m as well as gravel blasted the car I was in front of .Funny thing they haven't been back there again.
SENSEI

Reeeeeessssppppeccct. Can't beat dem cubes.

I don't mind em really, the ones that are in it for performance no problem at all, the wankers that fit a 5 inch tip to there 1981 Mitsi Mirage 1.3L powerhouse, WTF are they thinking. Like everything there is a line to be crossed, only seems to be a shitload that cross the stupidy with a car line.

If ya gonna make some noise and it ain't outta something with 2 wheels, please make sure you got 8 cylinders or more making it.

Do you fancy transferring to Tauranga, Spud? Of course, you'd be a fish out of water here, but some of us would appreciate the attitude!
