Man, gave me a heart attack, was just picturing a 200km/h crash on public roads..... *thinks of curbs, trees, cars, etc*

[Motoracer]

Oh ooops, sorry to get you worried guys.

Turns out it wasn't a total loss. Infact I have been sujested of a way to claim on it through house and contents insurance and paparazi has told me that I can still get my old number and credit back.

I feel all better now!

One thing that I will do is fix up my old shitty nokia and take that on the rides. Oh yea, I'll burn that stupid bagpack and get a nice and strong streamlined one too.

Cheers for the advise and concerns!

Been down that road before, was doing a speed too fast for the road when my back pack unclipped and flew off somehow managed to reach back and grap it (fluke) thinking to myself shit that was lucky only to find that my nice new GX10, me sunnies, and wallet had gone awol from my bag , went back and found my wallet thank god, found my phone, well um one bit of it, then found the other five bits :disapint: the sunnies lost and never found.

Personally now i try not to take a back pack and if i do it gets bungie netted to the pillion seat, and the zips are taped up.

But bummer all the same on the loss bro

Hey man, that was the knee slider. Then it was the indicator on the next KB ride. I think the bike and I need more race tape to secure things.

Buy an el cheapo phone on trade me, telecom will reconnect it free you just need to purchase a phone card to top it up if on pre pay or just run it in tandem if you are on a contract.

hmmm... 200kmh on public roads??? lucky it was just the phone....

not a very wise thing to be doing when most people tell people being dicks to take it to the track....
oh well, your funeral...




my opinion so I dont care what anyone else thinks

Mate, I could really give you a good reply but I am going home now.

Let's just say if anyone here who has seen me ride reckons that I am a threat to society or other road users when I am riding my bike on public roads with good reasons. I WILL do what it takes to not be a danger/threat.

As far as I belive however (this maybe biased, I don't know), I am only going as quick as it is safely possible with out being a/in danger.

Forget about the silly figures mate. I don't even have a speedo because I don't care for it. It is just about doing my best to ride well and safe to give my self a personal satisfaction.

sometimes when you're on the road, its not all about you... what about when a car with a 20 year old mum comes around the corner, freaks at some bike going like a maniac and runs off the road??? I know some insecure cage drivers that have these reactions... just coz you dont hit them doesnt make it right....

and if my child was in a car and the driver got freaked by a nutter on a bike and had an accident, i would hunt said nutter down and kill them. end of story. no bullshit... my daughter is the world to me and if anyone threatened her life.... cant even put into words what I would do....


again, just my opinion on why people should keep speeds like that on the track, or find tighter corners where you have to ride like a nutter to get close to the speed limit

Yes thats your opinion, and thats fair enough, however as one of the guys who has ridden the most with MR, I have to tell you that he is one of the safer riders who I have ridden with.

At those speeds if you ride with some one, you have too trust them 100%,
and I have said many times that I trust Sudeep(MR) with my life..

I can understand were you are coming from re your daughter, I too have childern that I love.

What speed is okay ?, 100, the legal road speed, 120 ?, 150 ? 200 ?.

Would you comments also apply to a drunk driver in a car, a truck driver etc etc ?

got a job so have to go, will add some more shortly.

F/F

If the driver is insecure about driving, then they should not be driving.... The thing i like about riding with MR, is he is not balls out all the time.... Ive been on rides with other riders where there was no speedlimit and disregaurd for others safety (i havnt gone back on those rides)

Also the roads we generally go on (mainly SH22) is about 150km's long and i have been down there a few times without seeing A SINGLE CAR!!! And yes we find the twistiest roads we can, Coro loop is mainly 15-55kmh corners, and SH22 is mainly 45-55kmh corners with very few straights...

Although i can see where you coming from, this would be for populated roads... not extreme country back roads.... Also you cant single out MR, as you havnt seen him ride etc..... So anyway, back to being happy families ...
