    Noo noo noo, you are wrong. This is a hypothetical situation - i.e. it never really happened. Just a thought experiment you know...

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Re-read the last post by Madness - do you think he knows that about another person (whom he hadn't previously met) who didn't get a ticket on that fatefull day. That's who rider A is.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Screw that, I can't follow all that dribble... Surely it's either a community issue, and all should be revealed, or the thread has served it's purpose and is due for the PD bin? Unless there is more value to be had? Other than the comical value of course...

    There have been quite a few posts in here that sum up some of the consequences that Rider A may have faced already, prior to the case being heard. With some inside knowledge, I can add to this the following:

    On the day of the incident, Rider A had to go home and tell their partner of the charge. At the time the partner had been receiving courses of both Chemo & Radiation therapy (they give you that when you have Cancer).

    Since the day (now 5 months ago), Rider A has had the weight of the charges hanging over them, like a very dark cloud. Not a day goes by when they don't consider how the fuck they will get to work & back each day, without putting their (sick) partner to unwanted inconvenience, should they get convicted.

    Since not long after the day, Rider A has had their bike in the shed, rego on hold. It aint much fun sitting home all weekend brooding, especially when you read threads on KB about certain fuckwits pulling wheelstands in front of the Poo-lice and getting away with it.

    Since the day, Rider A has paid $500 to a Lawyer and got SFA for their money. They have now found a more affordable Lawyer, possibly requiring only another $1000 to defend them. As Death mentioned, the first Lawyer wanted $5,500 just for the defended hearing.

    So far Rider has taken one day off work, another day off pending and all before a defended hearing date has been set.

    Rider A has had to put off plans to buy their first home, the legal bills were scaring the crap out of them.

    Rider A had no idea that other riders were pulling wheelstands at the time of the incident, they were at the front and looking forward, trying to get home to their sick partner. It's only since the day that they learned what was going on behind them.

    The last time Rider A pulled a wheelstand was in 1991, on an RM250 and it was by accident. Rider A does not pull wheelstands, let alone on S.H.1 in a traffic jam, on the wrong side of double-yellows.

    Yes, the Poo-lice suck. Rider's A & F are not asking anyone to take the rap for them, it's purely about assuming responsibility for ones own actions, as opposed to being a gutless wonder who is prepared to let someone else pay for their fuck-ups.

    Mark H, go ride your fucking scooter will ya?.

    Bullshit to both the above posts. You're both fucken liars.

    I've got a red rep from rider C or B or what the fuck ever saying that video footage will be posted and you'll all be outed as the foolish lying cunts you are.

    Chris, I can't believe for on minute that I was actually sucked in by yours, Andys and Noels blatant lies. I mean, my red rep proves it!

    You mean the thread?
    Same reason I made this thread.
    Because I am not so closed minded as to think I am always right.
    One thing you can always be sure of on KB, you will get views and opinions you never considered. I like my thinking to be challenged, I value these opinions and in both cases have adjusted my thinking (lets call it learning shall we) as a consequence.

    Do you find it uncomfortable debating issues of morality?

    Well DucatiHard does produce rather cool vids, in saying that, the last one I watched produced a debate on a passing manoeuvre that resulted in 'seeing one thing and not seeing it at all' ...so never the tawin shall meet.

    I'll start by Saying I am 'F'
    The video footage will be of me doing wheelies, I've never hidden the fact that I do 'em. Most of the people on here have seen me. I did some on that day too, BUT not past a queue of pissed off motorists sitting in a line of traffic with cellphones. As I said earlier, time and place. There's a reason I haven't been done for it before.
    I'm not gonna talk to these guys about it because I'm not in the right frame of mind anymore.
    Edit: BTW We did txt one of these two and basically got told too bad, and have pmed this guy too.

    You're probably right, The stranger posted this up to get some opinions (or whatever) and it's turned into a bit of a bitchfest.
    The two guilty parties can do what they want, next time I won't be keeping quiet. I'd love to see the video's too.
    I've learned a few lessons from this situation, and from this thread, so it won't happen again.

    I dare say there's a few of me behaving the same way. Jesus! I was even on the cover, of one of the biggest national bike mags, doing a MINT (if I may say so myself) stand-up on a public road. The difference is, the guys I was riding with weren't being prosecuted for my actions. As you say, time and place.

    I will say this though. I don't know how old these two chaps are. They probbably don't have the benefit of our years of experience. When I was a youngster, having just got into big modern bikes, I did some steeeeee-oooopid shit that on reflection, I should never have done. I was also shit scared of some of the consequences of my actions. Back then, would I have acted differently to rider B and C? I can't say. I was terrified of the fallout from my parents, the law, everything. Perhaps these guys know they've fucked up, but they're in too deep and now don't know what to do.

    Just a thought.
