Thank you Dave, Chris and Glen.

Blakamin: I am only human, I do make mistakes sometimes but I really do try my very best to ensure that no harm is going to be caused to anyone else because of my actions. For me others come before myself, it has been that way for while now. I think you are going about it in a black and white way with out any room for the grey areas. Know me, before you judge me.

[Blakamin]

I'm not judging or singling out anyone... saw someone freak out on the weekend and fall off the road, thats all... nothing personal...
but when people say one thing to someone about speeding, and then condone it for others (not saying anyone did), I find it up there with religion... hypocritical.
where are all the people that jump up and down when a n00b comes here saying they did 200 on a public road??? why arent they here now?


"Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me
cuz we need a little controversy,
cuz it feels so empty without me" - stolen from eminem

if this is the way KB is, (hope not) I might just pull my sticker off and use my T-shirt for cleaning wheels


another opinion from the house of blakamin... dont mean to offend

[aff-man]

yip gotta agree with TS,SM and FF Motoracer is a really really great rider. Never riding beyond his abilities. Have you ever gone fast??? I know i have and yet i know i am not riding outside of my abilities. MR abilities are quite impresive and so his safety bracket is quite high. But hey everyone is entitled to thier own opinion.

[Blakamin]

Have you ever gone fast???

Yeah.... on a z900 on a 2 lane freeway in Aus... in '91... a bit over that actually, but i wasnt likely to scare anyone at the time I did it... was 4am and had the road to myself bar the trucks... didnt drop below 200 for 120ks

But what type of public road???? If someone said the did it on a back road out in the whopwhops, thats fine... if they say that the did 120 in a 50kay area, i personally will give them alot of shit, as that is stupid and dangerous (that is where i think about kids and the huge amount of variables.....

To become a good rider/driver, i believe that you have to train yourself to react in situations, and not too freak out. I have freaked once, and come out of it ok.. But i vowed never too freak again.... Ofcourse you have "oh shit" moments, but you should be reacting (not freaking or panicing) to get out of the "oh shit" moment

[Blakamin]

But what type of public road???? If someone said the did it on a back road out in the whopwhops, thats fine...

why? whats to stop another car using the road?????? thats why they are "public" and not a race track... means that anyone can use them... at ANY time... who knows what time that might be?

like I said in the first post

oh well, your funeral

unfortunately, the experienced drivers arent born... we still have learners and restricted drivers that are mothers, sons, sisters, brothers etc that might use a backroad to get experience.....

again... another stupid opinion... but its mine

[Blakamin]

OK... time for the story... I was driving back from wallaceville yesterday in the pink party van (LWB transit turbo diesel) over the hill, staying in my lane (coz I know what its like on my bike), below the speed limit by miles coz I had a few JBs on board, and I had my 1y/o daughter with me.... a car came screaming up behind me (mighta just been 18)... and I only have one mirror (see other thread)... well I think to myself "you're gunna have to wait till I can move over"... nope... goes to pass me, freaks when they see the guy on the bike screaming along in the other direction, almost run me and the bike off the road and fuck off sideways very out of control.... I was peaking by this stage... was gunna kill the cunt coz I braked so hard my baby woke up, luckily without whiplash (and it takes a lot to stop 5 jukeboxes), the guy on the bike wobbled a bit and fucked off on his merry way and here I am... the fukkas in the car, and the cunt on the bike (over the line, just, coz he was flyin) could have killed my baby.....
all this on some backroad out the otherside of upper hutt, coming back from picking up a jukebox.....
what if it was one of you? what if you bounced off the side of my pink van? what if I killed you coz I had to be on that road but was going so slow some cunt had to pass me? what if the idiots in the car had of hit the bike? what if?????

Its still a public road even if its out in the middle of nowhere, and it only takes a split second to die...


like i said before, nuthin personal, but it could have been carnage

[Motoracer]

Issue resolved via PM. Nothing more needs to be said.

[Blakamin]

lol...





friggin message is too short so I thought I'd fill it with some crap here at the bottom

[avgas]

i must be a noob cos i seem to be the only one that doesnt use zeros?
oh yeh i did 200+ks on a public road....................wow
lets see you do 150 with no pants on

i sleep now

[Sniper]

I was a bit worried there for a sec, but at least you got our attention!

Ditto here. Gutted about the phone man, but better than actually binning it at 200kph+

You wanna know why I haven't said anything? Because MR is a genuine dude, who has admitted learning from mistakes in the past. He also contributes to this site rather than boasting about his exploits He's exercised the learning part of the cerebrum with this very post. Some people never do that, only to fade off into the entertaining history of the KB universe.

Trolls who pop up on here with tales of derring do and giving the cops the finger and racing off into the distance will always get a new one ripped.

We're all "hypocrites" (inc. the cops who ride bikes ). Bikes give a fantastic impression of speed and gliding through the scenery at a rate of knots and dealing to challenging corners is what keeps us all coming back.

We're not allowed to condone speeding because that would be reckless and foolish, this is a public forum, and the legality of speeding is very, VERY clear. However common sense dictates that you'll never ever spend 100% of the time at or under whatever speed limit you're going through.

Anyway - what's up with you? Your team lose a one day cricket match or something?

[Ms Piggy]

I hate it when that happens!

I feel for ya buddy but, don't let it get you down or stop you going on and buying a new phone or give up on texting and calling others on a new one. I know it may not be as good but, don't despair!

[Joni]

At the end of the day everyone has the right to their own opinion, and I always repsect that. Thats part of being on a public site - we take whats going on in our own lives and our interpretations of whats being said by our fellow KB'ers and thats how we get such a collection of different people.

Same thing with riding above the speed limit - even though it is controlled by law, and opinion is not, (unless murder etc. is part of what you perceive as a norm in an opinion), a person still has the choice how hard and how fast he is prepared to push himself and his bike. However (lol in my opinion) BK is correct. There will always be circumstances where no matter how good you are (and we wont argue on MR's skill), you open yourself, and definately the others using the road with you, up to more situations where the end result cannot always be positive.

HAHAHAHAHahahahahaha....
actually only heard about that just now... dont follow cricket or rugby unless I'm somewhere near my bro-in-law and then its just so we can stir each other!
AFL forever!!!!!!
