Let hope they do! ....i hope they wont start their conversation with pulled over biker by saying things like "we are sick and tired of motorcyclists killing themselves here" or "we are sick and tired of you middle aged fucks coming down here and making us look bad" etc.

Hello, wanna start something here or should we leave it to the radicals ?

Hmmm well there's the Ride Right Ride Safe course, which has a pretty good rep and seems quite good for riders of all levels. And then there's also the Advance Rider Training days, dunno much about them but learning about yourself and your bike on a track must do a hell of good.

Well put ! Message to some would be "like to ask you to take it slow on these here roads ! You may or may not have read the article on stuff, where stats show the born again crew are killing themselves on our unforgiving roads" " you ride safe now " !

Or some of the gayer few may take it as "we're here to fuck you over, gimme some attitude you shit head biker scum" !

whichever way it's taken there is/will be a presence and it may save lives Pfffft !

Trackdays are great way to learn about yourself and the bike not to mention awesome amount of fun... the only problem is that some people think they are Rossi after attending some and then take it to the road

Now your talking !

There has been a number of debates on this subject for numerous years ! think you will find that after a few, you wont want to ride road anymore ! Too many cops aye Ross !

Look ! No matter how you look at it, we're all in much the same mind ! Those that controll these actions have no real idea how to stem the flow of riders who seem hell bent on cutting themselves under the current laws !

You wanna make noise, lets make noise and petition gubberment to change the laws re licencing ???
I'm happy to take riders out and have them slide on a padock, build a wall of doom so they know how falling off feels ! Soon pick the crash test dummies out and put a X by their name too !

So true

its kind of like going 120km/h and then coming to 50k zone....feels realy slow, only after trackday 120km/h feels realy slow, haha

I do ride much less on the road these days...its not as much fun anymore, because if I realy did what i actualy wanted i would definately be arrested already.

Only wish there were trackdays over winter...never uderstood why there isnt enough demand for them, only in summer.

Hmm compulsory track day with your full licence...i dont think it would be bad idea at all, or compulsory MX day so you know what falling of a bike feels like....

Actualy it doesnt even need to be compuslory, just recommended or subsidised (hey that would be good way to spend some of that ACC fund that collects 3million a year from bikers that Ixion was talking about..)

ACC could run those track days and provide on site education as well....ohh well, dreaming is free i guess...

Come to Christchurch. Only about $100 for any Tuesday or Friday at Ruapuna. Half that if you're a member of the Canterbury Car Club.

I do what i want Milo !
I do my best not to be caught doing something i maybe want to, but society says i cant ! But i wont cry on your shoulder if my bike gets taken off me ! You may bag HD's but mine has slowed me down to a cruising speed of 120 and (maybe my dick has got bigger but) i'm enjoying it ! I aint even mounted my radar on the HD, cops (yes them scum of the earth that all want to kill you and take your licence off you) now flash their headlights at me and point, rather than throw their lights on and do a dangerous U turn to chase me ! Wow perhaps i've saved lives by buying an HD ?
I dont care !~ (of course i'm talking about me and the Mrs out riding lol) Every day i'm a different persona, yes i'm drinkin, but all my friends are online with me ! I just don't take them out anymore !

Might break the speed triple out for a hoon soon ! A ride up to taupo and whip the detector off, ask Sue to look after it for me and thrash the fucker round the track sounds great ! Or i might jump the ditch and ride the top of the south .
If i'm stopped i might have one of two things to say, one might be "On ya mate, cheers for the heads up, i will take it easy then and yes it has been 20 years since i rode these roads"

Or i might sulk and say "fuckin detector" !

But i wont say fuckin cops shouldn't be there !

I get your sentiment....each time i am riding bit faster than i should i remember wise words i've heard once "dont race it if you are not prepared to loose it" so i know the bike can be taken off me anytime for my stupidity
...i also mostly ride alone so iam not responsible for anyone or dont get in to the pack mentality which always brings the worst i me.
Probably not ready for HD yet, not sure i every will be into the cruiser thing...but who knows.

And i dont hate cops for doing their job and trying to stop me for doing retarded stuff...
but i hate when they assume i am just another "evil biker" just because iam sitting on a motorcycle, and dont appreaciate being treated like a scum for it....but i guess i also think most cops are scum so its only fair
