Coming off a 3 month licence suspension

[ZeroIndex]

Yep, I stick up for my mates - AND I'll tell 'em if they're wrong too..

He's onto it Zero... its like when you've got a booger hanging from your nose, a real friend will point it out

Yeah, in that sense, I would tell them personally, but in public I'm gonna stick up for them...

Kiwifruit, to quote your booger hanging from the nose...
you'd point it out to them in private, you wouldn't gather everyone around and say: Hey look at that twit with a booger hanging from his nose... unless enough alcohol had been consumed... but alcohol consumption has absolutely nothing to do with this topic, so I don't know why I brought it up...

[NUTBAR]

yes, i agree
thats why i've had the limiter installed on the bike
it WON'T go over 62mph now

install ity today did we.

Well just come of my 3 months Sat (was legal from Midnight Friday). Went for an awesome ride in the Rain down ta Cajun's and back. Totally awesome being legal again. Couldn't get a temp licence cause the AA wasn't open on Sat so just went without it.

2 Things I have learnt:

1. Don't wait paying ya tickets with the idea of dropping some of ya earlier points. Don't work no more. Demerit points are now back dated to the date of the ticket issue (as it should be) as soon as ya pay it (not the date of payment as it used to be).
2. Just because ya detector doesn't go off, doesn't mean ya haven't been pinged. The Smart Cop will "POP" ya (flick it on and off quickly) from behind 3 "cages" as ya meet him coming the otherway over a blind hill. Then he turn around when ya can't see him as you ride on @ 100kph to make sure, follow you and then turn on his "Disco" lights when ya in tight corners being good cause ya got him up ya arse. Then he will pull ya up in a dangious spot to give ya a ticket for 116kph in a 100kpm (cause we all know it is sooo dangerious do any speed greater than 100kph).

89 in a 80km/h
111 in a 100
124 in a 100
125 in a 100

what a silly boy, now i have 62mph limiter installed so no chance of it happening again





would hurt plenty!

89 in 80 is a bit of balls! The ticket I got about two weeks ago had check boxes to tick which speed range over the limit you were and from looking at it you had to at least be doing 10 over to get fined and demerited (unless you are by school I guess).

yeah, maybe its 10%?
I'd say they could fine for as little as 1km/h over the limit, i mean, the limit is the limit aye.
Wasn't by a school... was on the map here: http://www.smaps.co.nz/nz/taupo/nuku...ka+falls+road/ where the "SH1" label is on sh1 near the huka falls road turn off. Top of the hill as you head north out of Taupo.

Damn straight, never given one but I believe the fine is $30 for up to 10kph over the limit.

Piss off the wrong cop and you might just wear one...

Are there new tickets??? You will get ticketed for 6 or more km over the speed near schools... no tick box for that?

I'm guessing, (as someone said he has since left)... he was newish, trying to impress and was not certified to use the device...

Ditto.. Had a young fella playing up big time in Wellsford, pissing everyone off, and when I told him if that is how he wants to play, I would park down the road from his place every day and ping him for anything over 50, including 51... he changed his attitude there and then, no trouble from then on (ever, as far as I know...). Glad he didn't call my bluff...!!!

Fuckim Patrick, 'hard' bastards like that need the full Monty - speed tickets, 'insecure spare tyre' etc etc - ya wannabe staunch? Ya pay big-time.
Ya show some sense? - Nooo problems.....

So who police the Police?
Would agree with ya actions where the driver is a seriously know problem, but think some of you are getting a little over eager with ya tickets in some cases, and have loss ya ability to think and act outside of the square the Government has painted ya into.
Just my option at the end of the day.

Not all cops are arseholes * pardon my french... some of them just hate bikers but some (from my experience) are nice blokes who understand our passion, and if were not actin like retards will let us be. Like not so long ago while following a truck from a 50 to a 100 ... as the lane splitted into 2 i clipped her while accelerating in order to overtake the truck the front popped up and lo ... there was a copper just behind me ( i hadnt noticed him). he pulled me over after we overtook the truck and asked me what that was for, i told him look mate i wasnt speeding and wasnt tryin to act like a retard, i was tryin to overtake the truk as he was blowin trash and smoke into my face... he agreed after tellin me that i cud hav my lisence taken away and let me off with a "ride safe", I respect such men, reduces my hatred for the men in blue. (he was an x bike cop n had2 bikes).

I like warnings I like cops who give warnings. U cant imagine what I think of cops who ticket for 5 ks over the limit. Or like recently who ticket 200 bucks for not bein able to read my number plate...(while same week 2 other cops said it was fine)... or who ticket bcoz they have to make a quota / having a bad day / wife not givin them enuf sex.

Oh wait, no wasnt a tick box. Was a table chart explaining how many demerits you get between what speeds over the limit you were doing. Just looked now :P

My bike doesnt like cruising right on 50 though, gears feel funny sitting right there

Use another gear then.
Hell, I have to sit in 3rd gear in a 50 area for it to feel 'right'
