Yep. I totally agree they are a piece of crap but I don't think your average cage driver cares. We'd be better off finding a fault in the cheesecutters that affected all road users then using that as grounds for lobbying the beuraucrats.Originally Posted by madandy

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

The way things are going, the biggest problem is going to be finding a stretch of road with a speed limit of more than 70kph.

MaxB said hitting something at 50km/h was "...like a grand piano being dropped on you from a first floor window..." not the ground.No need. A 580kg grand falling 5m has about 28.4kJ of energy to dissipate when impacting with the ground. A 300kg bike including rider travelling at 50kph has about the same energy to dissipate in a crash
So you take a half ton hit to the head & chest from 5m & tell me its like riding a bike into a wall (for instance) at a speed any half arse Cyclist can attain on a ten speed
For the record I have hit an earth wall at over 50km/h on a bike and rode off after shaking the stars off from around my bloody head. An incident I would much rather repeat than lay under a falling Piano
As for hitting one of them WRB - eew scary even at 50!

There are plenty of those. Trouble is they all have "TEMPORARY" limits of 80 odd. Temporary my #$%#!!!!!

pack of bikers traveling along mway.. wire barrier begins.. bikers get off bikes and start 'walking them' along the mway.... "too bloody dangerous to ride next to those things" humpf...

The instructions are simple...
You are beginning to get the idea....protests in the form of public disruption will happen if this thing drags on without a resolution.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Right! This clearly requires that we conduct an experiment to settle this once and for all. I've got a first floor window. Your great aunt has a piano. Since you've already experienced the 50kph bin you're best placed to catch the piano and tell use whether the two experiences were roughly alike.MaxB said hitting something at 50km/h was "...like a grand piano being dropped on you from a first floor window..." not the ground.

When shall we set it up?

Me Aunt lives in Paihia. Can you make it up there on that 'sowellhung'?
She may take excpetion to you pushing her beloved grand out the window - even more so than the fact I'd be waiting on the ground floor, arms open & waiting for the inevitable!

Just maybe this is a silly idea ... anyway we're supposed to be dissing the cheesecutters not making enemies for cruelty to large noisy objects.
... talking about the piano btw.
Mad nagging bitch!
Don't Auckland and Wellington have long weekends coming up?? A protest ride at 70 kph (or less) should make people sit up and take notice.
Have you read CC resource thread...it is all in there
Long weekend protest rides anyone??

[QUOTE=DEATH_INC.;1384250]May make an interesting protest....ride from here to hamilton in a pack not exceeding 70kph in both lanes....as long as yer passing each other all the time it's not failing to keep left...may get some media attention methinks
I agree how many would be keen to do this you think maybe start a new thread???

Auckland has the entire stretch over the bombays imagin hitting that at say 60kmph with a coupla hundred bikers over a long w.e imagine the traffic we could make, maybe thoes cock su***** will do sumthing about it after a bit of media attention.
Rest In Peace
You called?
Anyway, about a speed of 70kms...I can't see that helping in any way, unless there is a prior warning of the reason we would be doing this.
I found it hard enough, not to mention dangerous, to stick to that speed during my learner's period.
Let's be honnest, that restriction would be potentially unsafe and pointless as a sole rider, and if done as a group, cage drivers around would just get pissed off and miss the point entirely.
Sorry, I don't see what good it could achieve.
