Lets face it, we are all kiwi males and we have a shocking one upsmanship record on the road...

You said it somuch better than i could. Farkit.

You must be the brains of the operation?!

How many people, this side of the world, would know that's a yorkshire rose? Maybe its because i'm from South Yorkshire?! Sheffield in fact.

Have you set up a corner shop yet?

Me neither. I have found that the attitude you project gets reflected right back at you though so maybe the OP is getting his own dickheadedness thrown back at him?? Can't say, I wasn't there.......

That's funny... Could have sworn I saw Gary McCoy on the podium at the final round. Might've been a drug flash back or something though?

The only thing I've got against Harleys is that I hate getting stuck behind them.
There may be some riders can punt them along in a meaningful way but these riders are so few as to appear imaginary.

To the OP, may I suggest the early aquisition of a radar detector?

You sharing?

Mind you, what good is a radar detector, especially if your seen doing stoopidly excessive speeds? I mean, apart from the actual calibration bit?

Im hearing ya re stuck behind them -it really hurts my ears
I must say Ive noticed some guys that have there bikes set up more tourer style so they can get agrressive with their riding. Ive seen some fairly spirited riding from harley riders

I don't understand the question.

I'm not going to suggest anyone do "stoopidly excessive" speeds. The whole point of having the detector is to prevent you being seen doing them should you momentarily lapse into some anti-social, death wish, mental aberration such as that apparently suffered by the OP.
