NW motorway - idiot on an R1

[FROSTY:Me]

What colour was it? Not multi hued purple, was it?
On another thread, anyone know anything about what looked like a CBR250 sitting next to the barrier, backwards,with people milling about, at about 9 this morning, around the Bond St overbridge ?

Well SP if it was --we all know who owns that dont we??
Actually I can assure you that particular bike was still in Haldanes at 5.45 tonite

Man - One sunday near Port Waikato I was chock-a-block-full of the angry pills on a group ride and overtook a daytona on the left hand side - once - and i've been kicking myself for it ever since - i appologised to the guy I went under 4 times already and still think i was a knob for doing it.

If someone did it to me and was unrepentant - I'd bounce him - hard.

What a cock.

Mr Randon sir - if I didn't know better I'd swear you were gloating!

[Storm]

And ?? The problem being.................?

[bugjuice]

swanny..??

That can't of been the same R1 as monday night - I passed him in the Pajero and he was well behind,filtering but very slowly,then jrandom came through at a reasonable pace and the R1 didn't go past me until I was almost at the Lincoln rd offramp - that was a timid R1 filterer.That jrandom was bloody lucky I was adjusting the radio and texting at the same time,otherwise he woulda found a Pajero in the way...

Troof is stranger than fiction...

It wasn't an R1, it was an R6.

I know that because I just spent 10 minutes talking to him up by the Subway on Lincoln Road.

Saw the bike, saw the guy, thought "that's gotta be him", walked over and asked, yup, it was him.

He's being done for dangerous driving (summons is in the mail) and riding without a licence (surprise, surprise).

He had to leave the bike beside the motorway and walk home. Came back later to pick it up, and of course he's back on it now, riding around.

So we had a little chat.

Stay tuned. He's promised to log on to KB and take his medicine.

that'll be interesting then... another tossa?????

[StoneChucker]

Yeah, cos cagers can't tell the difference between an R1 and a decent bike. (that's just for R1AaronKDX and to make 800 posts)
Great ride that on Sunday - no pricks in our group

Vanquish mine enemies!!!
Clearly a statement like that, denotes a delusional rider. I'm not one to use hyperbole's, but as I've said a bazillion times: It's a piece of art, with wheels

I can confirm though, it wasn't me. Or was it?

On the subject of motorway ettiquette, if the traffic is your typical NW run, i.e. bloody slow, would it be illegal to pull right to the left of the left lane and almost stop while pointing at the dude being ticketed and laugh your ass off so he can hear ya, or just bad (or good) form?

I did that when I rode past him last night.

I was sure the cop would understand...

I can't be *too* horrible about it now, though, because he will probably read this thread. So, being a lovely sensitive chap, I will modulate my vitriol accordingly.

As long as you didn't make your thumb and forefinger into an "L" shape and put it up against your forehead and yell "Looooooooooser" at him, I think you should be okay. Nothing to inflammatory yet

TOO FUNNY - I love stories like that.

Bullet proof + fast bike - licence +cop = GOTCHA

oooo I love it - that JR, best laugh I've had in a long time. Tell him to get it out on the track (after he's got his licence). He's either got the balls or the stupidity to go fast, hopefully he has the skills too.

Who knows - he might be another Aaron Slight but he'll need to live to see that day first... (not to mention letting the rest of us survive too. One of my pet peeves with people doing stupid things is... what'd Bush call it... "collateral damage")

JR - how old was this guy do you reckon? Is he a bit of a f'wit, arrogant or just naive? Hopefully the latter so we can talk some sense into him. Between the horrors of Frosty's thread (kid who died in Takapuna) and those two kids ratting up and down at some horrendouns pace in another thread - I'm buggered if I want to see this guy become a bug mark on the back of some car or truck that happeneds to be changing lanes...

f'wit or not - he don't deserve to die... and no-one else does either...

I told him to get along to Puke on Sunday. Might give him the bug, who knows.

Just a punk kid. Early/mid 20s. He didn't come across as an arrogant f'wit in person. Reminds me of a few on here, minus some years experience. There might be hope for him yet.

Cheers. It'd be good to get him intro'd to a few bods on here - who knows we might get to like him. Track day would be good but... don;t you need a licence to go out on the track?

After that little episdoe he'll be bloody lucky to have one this side of 2006.

As for that cop - wouldn't that be a dream come true, high speed persuit, and stopping someone doing that?!?

All for now - back to work
