If you're riding empty back roads then 211K is highly likely fuck-all and perfectly fucken safe. But if these brainless dodos got busted at 211K on the main fucken highway amongst traffic, then tough shit.

And if it was fucktard squids in one-piece leathers and arai helmets doing their feverish wank wank wank wank posturing bullshit, then throw the fucken book at them too. If I had my way, arsehole squids would have their bikes confiscated and crushed whilst being strung up and given a fucking good long hard whipping. Getting these fuckers crying and pissing blood in apology is the only sensible way

Bling for you!Must be reading my mind!

Bling!

Shit, i just read 14 pages of PIFFLE.
A brief summary fo those who have just joined us, like myself:

Katman & our friend Doug over there in the corner - anything over 100KPH is directly from the devil, death to the infidels of law. Laws are made for our well being.

madbikeboy and few few other like minded peoplez - 211KPH in the right area at the right time is hardly something to wake the Prime minister up about.

and basically, it is this banter backwards and forwards to varying degrees.

Better ride at an INDICATED 95k's on the open road, just in case that devil wind whips you up to 101 from behind.
Goodbye for you.

Ride safe guys!

hmmm using LTSA statistic that you are twice as likely to kill someone 5kph faster than usual. And chuck norris law of awesome. Lets see 211-141 = 70 / 4 = 17.5 x 200% = There is an increased chance of 3500% that you will kill some at 211kph than you will at 141kph.
Don't you love it how statistic never should be applied to the real world

Being safe means noone gets harmed. The reverse does not automatically follow. In the same way that someone being harmed does not imply that the actions that led to it were dangerous.

Indeed, but you will always get those that insist that you can't get the sudden stop if you're not moving in the first place. To them I ask, shall we give light a speeding ticket? Surely 1,080,000,000kph must be dangerous?

Speeding bikies 'getting coffee'

Motorcyclists caught doing over 200kmh told police they were on their way to Kaikoura "for a coffee" when they were stopped.

The pair were caught going 211kmh on State Highway 1, between Parnassus and Hundalee, during Operation Tahi, which was targeting high-risk behaviour on the South Island's main road, Canterbury road policing acting manager Neville Hyland said.

The motorcyclists had their licences suspended for 28 days and would appear in court at a later date , Mr Hyland said.

"Motorcyclists are some of the most vulnerable road users in New Zealand and are over-represented in crash statistics," he said.

There were plenty of clubs with access to race tracks for people who wanted to travel at these speeds, he said.

During the operation in the first week of April, police issued 448 tickets, which added to the 355 tickets issued during the same operation in March, Mr Hyland said.
