    You ruined the NZ stunt scene, why not take the NZ Trials scene out at the same time!

    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.

    Not at all.

    We are all very proud of you.

    I am so jealous that I am considering the same on my CT110.

    I'm just a bit worried about climbing the ups at <5kph on the clutch slip. I may even slide back down.

    Anyone care to video it for me?

    Anyone know a good place to get a Will written?

    Anyone know if the life insurance co will pay up?

    While your head is in oversize mode its very easy to search out more congratulations by doing an even wilder stunt, so I would be being really careful right now if I was you. Come off your buzz before the next one please.

    Not dissing - just being aware.

    I think Inspector Tooman's comments are entirely spurious - seems to me they'd be prosecuting him just because they can.
    "Mr Bennett could face charges of reckless use of a motor vehicle, careless use of the motor vehicle, or endangering transport."

    I don't see there was any danger to other motorists, and given Craver wasn't on the road at any time during his escapade, it's stretching things a bit to prosecute him under various traffic laws. I'd say to pull off this stunt was far from careless or reckless, but more very careful and carried out with utmost concentration and due regard to safety. "Endangering transport"?!? Pffffttt!
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
