Beginners' guide to runners

[Brett]

Shit yeah, I remember this thread (and some of the even earlier ones from the early 2000's) I liked all the talking shit. KB used to be a spicy Vindaloo, now it is bland soup in comparison.

[scumdog]

What are you talking about, you and me are still here

But yeh, the site has lost it's balls over the last few years

Balls?

Nah.

Village idiots is more like it.

Maybe we could petition spankme to enable some sort of auto-lock on threads after they've been inactive for 6 months or something. That'd stop 'tards from reviving these dead-ass threads.

But the memories of 'the good old days' come flooding back every time it happens

[Dodgyiti]

Why get rid of these vintage threads?
Sometimes I go back and read a few when I miss people who are now gone, it is like a KB legacy. The Wild West. All a bit vanilla nowadays.
I rememeber the first few dozen Auckland/Waikato rides, it would seem that someone would bin practially every run...glad that part is history.
I will unlock Motu's cryo pod so he can come out and comment

[Katman]

It's almost like all thehas been worthwhile.

[Max Preload]

My, my... how Kb has changed over the years huh?

You wouldn't think this thread belongs on this site but this used to be a common thing.

Is anyone still practising the art of runners?

Yeah, it's gone soft.

[sugilite:Me]

Though I still stand by what I said in post 163 of this thread, yeah, I feel that KB is going so vanilla that it will soon be called PC Biker, A site for all conforming cardy wearers.

Has the site becoming this way actually made a difference out there in the real world? Have runners stopped? Has speeding stopped? Do riders when considering doing a runner whip out there smart phones and consult the KB archives before making their decision on what to do next? Personally I doubt it.

Yeah, sure make these historic threads unavailable, and while your at it nip down to the local wool shop, there is a special running. Think of the money you can save on your next cardy.

[avgas]

I think I have gone soft.

I haven't done a runner is years.....

[scumdog]

Yeah, it's gone soft.

Less fuckwitted posts to put up with though...meaningless, fuckwitted posts...posts that appear to have been posted by a tanty-throwing six year old in a lot of cases..

Still. some appeard to have enjoyed such posts...

[Grasshopperus]

I wasn't suggesting that these old threads should be unavailable, just that further comments should not be possible after it's been inactive for 6 months or so.

After reading the OP post, I was not certain whetherit was written in humour, in sarcasm, or as an analytical summary of "how to".

The thread was well written and set out the facts - most of which pointed clearly (to me anyway) that running was dumb and dangerous. I agree with Hitcher that you walk away from the post discouraged from running.

BUT:

The fact that running is even proposed as a viable OPTION is wrong from the start. It is not. It unavoidably leads to dangerous situations for you and the public. Now I dont give a fuck about you and your safety- thats your issue. But lets just say that if it was my 4 year old daughter that was smeared on the forecourt, the cops would be the LAST thing you would have to be worried about.

[Latte]

Since no one in the last 4-5 years has put truly useful advice about runners in this thread...

Best time to spot hot chicks running is in the morning I reckon, the evening ones are usually not as good, and the ones that are hot usually have their partners. I find having a bicycle with the chain off next to you means no one is suspicious of you lurking along their favorite running routes. Except when they notice the digital slr with zoom lense... then it's time to get the chain back on and leg it.

Takes about 1.3 seconds to decide if you keep purving , or look away, remember, I'm not glorifying it, but I have been known to behave like this in the past.

Yeah, you kind of need to know the history of what went on down here in Welly with the original poster and a group ride. After the lashing he received here, he tossed his toys, had a wee cry, sold his bike and hung up his leathers, never to be heard from again. Some motorcyclist...........

Obviously he was a poser, just cared what everbody else thought.... OR! he got the bash.
