The difference between me and some of these so called fuck head car enthusiasts is that:
1, I own my vehicles.
2, I don,t drive around in the small hours looking for my mates.
3, I don,t wear my hat or helmet backwards. It just looks stupid.
4, I don't drink RTD's. They taste like shit.
5, I don,t think my HD is good at drag racing. I don't have to prove it is a slow vehicle.
6, I have the cash to replace the HD but if I loose my drivers licence I will loose my job which will cost me and my family a shit load more.
7, I don't have to pour oil on the road, throw bottles or be a drunken sod to be cool. I am not a dick head you are!
I don't have anything in common with boy racers. The sooner your unimpressive POS jap crap gets turned into scrap steel the better. So go to hell.
The next thing these twits will be wining about in a few years is because they have collected un-paid debt or fines the banks won't look at them for home loans and will want a hand out to get into their first homes from the social services. Ha not likely.

Wow Flip its a good thing I don't stereo type bikers to. Good news for you I won't be wining about home loans I own one already.

O and for the record I drive a BMW.

Anyone who opposed the "anti-smacking" legislation on the basis that it was making ordinary parents criminals or ticked "no" in the recent referendum is in serious danger of being a hypocrite if they take your line on this.

While I agree the Police will generally use common sense there's good reason to expect that our laws are clearly written and don't have collateral consequences - either letting people off or wrongly impinging on the innocent.

So fucking what? It doesn't affect you. You speak as if each one of them ran over your bike each time they went past.

Erm when you go for a nice day at the beach, you dont want the constant noise of the same cars doing laps and laps along the beachfront, with their ganstar music pumped up load, and nailing it between all off the road bumps just so they can show everyone they have a blow off valve.

Rise up against the Haters and Rednecks!

My current and one of my previous rides...

**ready4whatever** · 23rd October 2009, 10:45

wow nice cars DM. love those rx8s they take the rotary engine to the next level

**Drunken Monkey** · 23rd October 2009, 10:49

RX8 was fun to drive, but lacks the power of the RX7. It's at least as well balanced, maybe even better. Shits and giggles had by all when trying to get 4 people, 3 of whom have had a few drinks, in and out with the safety suicide doors...
To easy to drive sideways and get yourself into trouble though.

**ready4whatever** · 23rd October 2009, 10:59

Oh and that 'jap crap' you guys speak of will out perform any european or american cars, at half the price. sure you can buy a ferrari 400 hp standard but you can spend a few grand getting a ricer to that power too, and it'll last longer. look at the evo:

AYC, lets the car go around a corner on 3 wheels, lets 1 wheel to spin at times allowing for tight cornering.
300hp stock, can be tuned way beyond this without comproming handling much. around 50 grand new, pick yourself up one for 40-45 that has just rolled out of the store room. these '''boy racers''' may not have evo 10s, yet. but dont refer to them as jap crap. to me the biggest lemons are Audis, fuckin expensive ones

Nice. but both of my bikes would still pwn them at the drags, and probably cost 10% of the cars

Yes, the Police can be trusted... these new powers will never be used against anyone who doesn't actually deserve it. Tui?

So fucking what? It's a kids beach hangout - what do you expect - everyone to do only what suits you? Are you sure you wouldn't you be happier playing lawn bowls?

There are already laws covering loud exhausts and wastegates venting to atmosphere - what's wrong with the Police actually policing them?

Fuck that's a mint Evo. I don't like the RX8s though, I've been in one and it was fucking slow.

And my old gixxer thou would've romper stompered your little scooters. Drag or track.

Best thing is, if you want to mix up on the road, I can knock you into a ditch and only suffer a little panel damage.

**jackie** · 23rd October 2009, 12:51

The defence that cruising is about the journey and for the pleasure of driving is null and void in stop-start city traffic.

If it really were about that, car enthusiasts would be in the country on better roads.

Cruising is for the person on the sidewalk, in the house and in the other cars.
