Paeroa updates?

**Ixion** · 22nd February 2010, 14:13

I saw only two cops all day . One between Ngatea and Paeroa. he didn't have his radar on, but I was very law abiding,cos of that road being notoriously dangerous, infested with snakes.

And the other , perversely on OLD State Highway 2 just after the Kaiuwa turnoff on the way home. What's he doing THERE? Not supposed to be snakes on that road. Snakes not permitted on any road with "old' in the name. But, he had his radar on full time, so I had lots of warning. Maybe he did it deliberately, realised he wasn't playing by the rules .

Other than those two, a very safe day.

Of course, personally, I never speed. Speed kills, this I know, for the guvernment tells me so.

i had better add that i only just got my license back from a serious suspension.....but to be honest...enjoyed the legal ride just as much.....to the dicks in cars who post on a biking site about bikes cutting them off or flying past...fuck off.....if they had pulled over to let us by there wouldn't have been a need to go around.

Aha, and as a biker on a biker site who drove a car who pulled over which only encouraged 5 bikes to go where there was clearly no room and in doing so cut me off and then whacked ya brakes on..........try that again and you will have a Commodore parked up your arsehole !!

All the way on the road out was a huge emergency lane to the left; motorbyclist and I plus the smc had no worries just cruising in the line of traffic to the left, letting the bikes pass.

Exactly Quasi, and some of them might be grateful of an ambulance with ( god forbid ) 4 wheels.

Its always pathetic to witness bullish / abrasive behaviour when referring to car drivers. Many of us rode motorcycles or still do and like you are very attentive to motorcycles and give them plenty of room.

There are of course many idiot car drivers.

With the increase in ACC levies being such a hot potato its sad to see so many idiots on motorcycles effectively demonstrating to many car drivers that the increase may well have been justified

Mate I'm quite happy to show respect to Riders on the roads, pulled left all day, a few riders got the rock on signs, but with all the whinging about ACC levie's you'd think Riders would be a little responsible for themselves rather than expecting us (filthy cagers) to slam the brakes on so they didn't end up on my bonnet, or their mates up my arse.

I ain't riding my bike on the roads, no interest whatso-ever.

And if you Marshalled yesterday at Paeroa, I'm more than somewhat surprised at your post. Dicks? Speak for yourself Richard....

We love you Toot. You and your ilk have helped plently off us - it's a shame you usually get to meet us when we are most pissed off! Very sad about yesterday's tragedy - condolances to Alan's family and friends, and the sidecar community - we know your a tightnit group (most of the time).

The racing ended early yesterday. Personally I was concerned that it had taken so long for the track to re-open after the race had been stopped due to the accident at the top of the front straight. It just went on and on.

Some would not have even noticed how long it was taking. As far as criticism goes, I heard none where I was, it was more worrying about what was happening and the sending of all our support to the downd riders/passengers.

Sadly the worst case scenario has transpired. Please dont hear any negatives from the posts, many people would not have even considered how much is done by so many prior to and on the day to make an event like BOT Paeroa happen for general consumption. The fact that no one thanks you guys is largely down to what a fantastic job you all do. Kia Kaha!

**Biggles08** · 22nd February 2010, 19:27

I thought you may need the motivation to make sure you CAN make it down so you have the opportunity to...ummm...'help me out.' I'm pretty certain once you are there I can persuade you back to the dark side with some beer :-)

If more `bikers' had ridden bikes to Paeroa maybe the roads out wouldn't have been so clogged yesterday arvo?

I'd imagine that it would be pretty tough for somebody to ride their racebike to Paeroa! But I suppose if they were REAL BIKERS, they would have. I'm sure if Robert was a real biker, he'd be able to get his whole workshop into a tankbag too!

**Biggles08** · 22nd February 2010, 20:14

What a great Idea! Although, I guess someone else would have to bring the rest of my gear in a cage anyway cause I'm pretty sure last time I checked It wouldn't fit it in my tankbag... :-) ...oh well, I guess I'm no 'Real' biker then :-)
