    Sweden because they were in the process of changing from left to right. It can be done. Just not by Kiwis.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    You can't count India. They drive wherever it pleases them. Or Shiva. Or maybe Vishnu.
    Your speaking from personal experience I take? Yes Indians in India drive whereever the heck they want but thats personal choice. I could drive on the right hand side of the road in Nz if I 'chose' would that exclude NZ from your analysis?

    Also Shiva and Vishnu are God's names. Be less shallow please and don't disrespect them thus. Also don't b so damn padantic about spelling mistakes on an online forum who gives a fuk hw I spel ma shit. Chur.

    Your stated principle would hold some weight if you hoed into everyone who "disrespects" a variety of other mythical religious beings.

    But you don't. You just didn't like being called on the fact that the majority of cars are built left hand drive because most countries drive on the right, not the left.

    So you decided to appear the "superior being".

    Not really, I'll always try and drill some cs into people when I think they are disrespecting something that other beings believe to be sacred. For example kicking over grave stones, calling the dead names, disrespecting other religions etc. In my view there is only one God, call Him what you may. I go as far as to voice my view and leave it at that as I have done here.

    Back on topic anyhow, I was only pulling fun at Fkn American and not really trying to stir.

    I must confess that I love the way you mock R6 for his poorly composed and presented posts, when you are guilty of the same crime.

    Let us examine the reply in question:

    As I am sure you are aware, "BTW" is an abbreviation of "by the way". So to say "btw the way" is in effect saying "by the way the way", leaving the final two words quite redundant.

    Three mistakes within what looks sixty words? That's a fail, even under the extremely lenient standards of NCEA.

    I would certainly hope you are not a member of the BDOTGNZA, or they will lose all credibility at that rate.

    Of course, the situation may not have been helped by the fact that I was somewhat unwilling to allow the lady in question to rant on with a presenting a reasoned point of view in opposition. It is always fun to play the devil's advocate.

    If you thought about it for a second the reason we still drive on the right hand side is because the closest car producing nations such as Australia and mainly Japan drive on the right hand side.

    I like to call "Him" the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but that's just me. Does it make me disrespectful? In any case, I think this thread has been dragged well and truely off topic, so that's enough of that.

    hey NZSarge......yeah I looked at Akro and Arrow and I dont like either. The funny thing is that I would KILL for those systems on other bikes but I just dont like what they make for the R-6.

    The only two I like are the systems from Racefit and Termignoni.....but I dont like them enough to spend the $$$.

    I think what I'll prolly end up doing to make my bike stand out is a custom paint job....prollly a race replica or something. I'm planning that as a winter project thing so thats not coming for another several months..

    Some I really like:

    1. Fiat R-6 race replica bike
    2. Virgin Mobile R6 cup bike

    I heard you can actually order the Fiat replica fairings direct from Yamaha so I might just take off all my fairings and sell them on Ebay first to cover some of the cost.......

    Well done Pirate.

    Jim2 sounds like a bloke who would like people to think he is 'articulate' and proper, but unfortunately fails to realise he lives in 2008 and not in 1608.
    If you really care about all the spelling mistakes on here take it up with spankme; who could make you a moderator of all the forums on here, and you in turn could sit correcting each and every post, if thats what floats your boat. Maybe one day I'll be as proficient in the language as you are, but for now I'll just enjoy my youth, and with any luck age won't take a death grip on the humourous side of me. You on the other hand might look into something called alliteration.

    Bold words I know, but they are meant with the utmost respect.

    Nope, but it might "exclude" yourself from any analysis in the future.


    FknAmerican:
    If your neighbours are prepared to follow you around the "hood", why not take advantage of it?
    If you are being followed, they will know that you are sticking to the speed limit... so make sure you pass through their housing area as many times as possible. This will prove that the sound your bike is making, is being made at the posted speed limit. You are obeying the road rules. Also, you get to annoy the crap out of them!

    Swoop's got it... Just get out and stick at the speed limit to prove that though your bike's loud you're not a hoon. They'll hopefully eventually get the idea.

    Their kids probably need more education - their teens who get mummy and daddy to buy hugely expensive road-legal race cars that they drive around in like they don't care if they're being safe or not; said as an observation of the people MY age in NZ... As a rule of thumb, I'd rather get on the back of a bike I don't know before in a car I don't know purely because bikers seem to be safer and smarter than cagers.
    Who, me? I just wander from thread to thread.
