    The officer signalled us to stop so eased on the brakes... we did so safely and made him walk 100m towards us so we could not be done for dangerous driving.

    we gave him our licences and keys to the bike and asked him for the paperwork...

    we asked him to take us to Kaikoura and we would shout him a really nice coffee and some doughnuts...

    LOL

    I find bugs can hurt like hell at speeds over 200kmh, when wearing just a T-shirt.
    I call it like I see it. Don't take it personally.

    211 km/h And noone died? Who would have thought? My good friends in the TV who also put signs up along the side of the road has promised me that speed kills. I suppose it must just mean that 211 km/h actually isn't fast...

    The only thing I don't get is why they bothered to stop? After all, there are rules of engagement as far as pulling people over goes. And considering how the road code is laid out it would appear that there wouldn't be any significant difference in being pulled over doing 150, 200, 250 or 300 km/h for that matter...

    I sure as hell wouldn't pull over unless they were sitting right on my tail me with lights and sirens on. And even then I'd indicate and move left in the lane and wave them on past - surely they must be in a hurry

    I once went 212 km/h, while doing what the swedish people were doing in their Mazda ("No wonder I was weaving all over the road yeronner, I couldn't see much apart from Doris' back") and while drinking bourbon and torturing seals.
    Is their genuine Kairkoura whale steak burger still as good as I remember?

    Considering we were given a speed figure of 211 km/h (3 significant digits) 131 mph is the correct answer. If it had been 211.00000000000000 then maybe you would be correct.

    you are probably the same people that put up threads saying you are going to race everyone at trackdays putting our insurances at risk as well.

    you guys are legends in your own underpants. why dont you keep your opinions on being ok to speed on public roads in there.

    good work dickheads
    Cry me a fucking river Captain Softcock. Don't you have some organic tofu that needs cultivating?

    As for trackdays - most of them aren't covered by insurance. So anyone who behave like idiots there are not very likely to push up your premium now is it?

    200+ km/h is perfectly safe in some places. 50 km/h isn't safe in others - nothing new here.
    The only regretable side-effects of this incidence is 1) they got caught 2) the media hype that surrounds it 3) two bikes are going to be very bored for at least 6 months. And NOTHING has changed.

    Well, it could be true. Just because it's supposedly standard practice doesn't mean it'll be applied 100% of the time. Also, the charge would still have to stick if you go to court. Anyway, only the KB coppers can really verify it - I do have it from a rather trustworthy source though.

    Ah - now we get somewhere - they were possibly speedo cops - that's why they stopped.

    Thank you. No matter how good a rider somebody thinks they are, accidents happen. And I sure as fuck hope it's not one of my children that ends up dead because some irresponsible dickhead thought he's capable of playing God.

    Okay, may be this ain't him.....

    May be the clue has more to do with "Obtaining something" and "Fornication"?
