Doing the runner

[**R1**]

I have no idea what speed the cops will call off a chase but I do know that if you think there's no cop cars that will catch a bike in the twistys then your sadly mistaken.A car has more than twice the tyre contact area of any bike and as good if not better braking potential.A good driver will catch you no worrys and from what I understand there are certain cops that do have the skill and the machines to do the job.Those guys will chase you until "THEY" think it's unsafe.If there are cars out there today that are as good as the Granada Capri's were in their day then your going to be in the shit sooner or later.I had the pleasure of driving a Granada for a while in the seventys,none and I mean NONE of the bikes I had a go with had a chance,even less so in the twistys.The guys I tryed out were all mates of mine on Z1000,GT750,GS750/1000,Ducati SS/SD/MHR ect ect.All of them had the goods on the Granada until we hit the twistys then it just ran them down.You can take most people that own SS dunny doors and XR8 Frauds but most of those people can't drive anyway so it's no real contest.
A copper than can drive is going to be another critter all-togeather.
All that being said,Ive heard so much Bullshit from guys like you since I've been a member of this site that I don't really care what you do unless it involves somebody else that didn't need a cunt like you in their day/life.
Give it your best shot.I hope you die slow.

So your riding skills are that poor that you would crash so soon?? :disapint:

By the way, just read the link you put up, re-read it yourself and ask yourself "Are the circumstances the same?"
Maybe you are way to young to remember, or know some one who does, what the roads were like back then, the cars/bikes the cops had back then, how much other traffic was on the roads back then. If you knew the answers to those, you would appreciate there is no comparison to then and now.

Well I'd be keen as for that kind of access, so would a few others I know, including aaron. Who do I need to talk to, Canterbury M/C?

Every Tuesday and Friday is multi hire day you just turn up at the track pay your money and away you go

if there are a few people out there it is split into 20min sessions cars,single/ seaters/bikes,you also need a spotter with you in case they have to come pick you up

I go out to the track every chance i get. if i could ride there everyday i would, but as someone said its not the most thrilling thing to do all the time but i did do a 1min 47sec around ruapuna the last have a go day, but if all i did was try to beat that it would no doubt all end in teers.

That'd be just about fast enough to beat the slow F3 guys,I might have a chance against you on my bucket after all

Kickaha - Is that all? No membership or anything, just turn up and pay? If that is the case, I'm changing my day off to Tuesday and setting up camp at the track. Farkin brilliant!!

Nice attitude Jackrat. Can't ever imagine wishing a fellow biker has 'a slow death'. Whats up with that shit?

Yeah Good point,stupid thing to say.
When I hear somebody say they just don't care about others I get pissed an respond in kind.
Makes it worse since I've spent a fair bit of time counting the spots on the ceiling at middlemore because of a similar attitude.
Have slapped meself about the ears an won't do it again,,,,,,,,
til I forget

man 60+ replys but no answers to my Q's and i just reread my first post hhhmmmm sily thing to say "dont care about public safty" coz i do. but at the time when ya see the blue and reds ya only have micro seconds to think, 9 time out of 10 im prety sure i hit the gas b4 i even think about it. and i get the funny feeling some of you dont like what i have to say...... bugger for you

And about $50 for the arvo................ man it wasent that long ago when we used to just drive through the gates and onto the track, no one gave a shit............. hell maybe it was a while ago

No membership,although Cant car club members(I think) get a better rate so if you're planning on doing a few it may be worth while looking at joining

if you get lucky there wont be any cars out there and you'll get heaps of track time,it's worth ringing the track to check as sometimes the track is hired out to different organisations for driver training etc or when big race meets are coming up

Tuesdays are the best as you dont get as many of the guys practising for their weekends racing

[onearmedbandit]

Well thats that then isn't it? I'll be informing my boss that I'll be needing tuesdays off from now on, getting me a spotter and heading to Ruapuna just as soon as I can. Should have really got off my lazy ass and done some digging myself on this issue, big thanks to those whop have enlightened me. And Manuboys hooking me up with a track day next year.

BTW, yes I am a track virgin. Driven a formula ford around 'puna though a few years back, but only about 10 laps. I've been riding for about 15yrs now, and haven't got out to the track. Shameful...

Read it closer .
Both those situations were around thirty years ago and happened on the spur of the moment,I wasn't planning on fucking with the cops at the exspence of others like you.Unlike you I do care about other peoples safty.
When I wrote about those two incidents it was as an example of something stupid I'd done in the past and I as much as said so,or did you miss that.
BTW you don't have to go seaching my old threads for ammo' I've made a lot of fuck ups and payed the price in a number of ways.
A permanant disabilty,Five years in prison,untold money down the drain,the death of one of my brothers,the deaths of several of my friends.
You can have a dig if you like,you'll find mention of all of it on this site in one form or another.I have a bloody good memory,I can remember the faces of all of them.I also have a very keen appreciation of just how lucky I was.A great deal of that appreciation goes to the cops that you seem to like bagging out so much.Yeah, just like I did,happy now.

Dude have you riden an R1? as for cars being more forgiving hhhmmmm i dont think so you only have to go over the white line and bang ya dead. with a bike u just tip her in a bit more and ya sweet. i have also run at the drags a few times and the only street cars faster than my bike down the 1/4 dont go around corners, but then thats only the ones i have seen.

what duz a copper wagon do down the 1/4????
that would be a laugh

I would rather be in my car than on a bike if I hit a patch of oil, or put a wheel on the whitelline in the wet. I compleltly agree bikes are faster, but that doesnt make it acceptable to do a runner.

Yip, think F3 lap record is 1.38 set by Andy Bolwell on a ZXR400, think the 125 record is 1.38.8 or something like that.
Think I use to do 1.50's on my ZXR400 :disapint:

Well having caught a guy on a VTR doing over 200km/hr in a commodore hp car go for it, I just hope you kill yourself alone and not someone in my family dickhead

Apparently there are several people here on KB that should not be allowed to ride on public roads...

[inlinefour]

I second that motion.

I add to that vote...
