Collected some revenue today

Can't work out whether you condoning or condemning that behaviour Stephen?

That sort of riding on "the public roads" is what gives motorcycling at large a bad reputation!

The same sort of riding and attitude on a race track would probably have them banned from the track!

Track racing that I have seen is more skilful and disciplined, something to be admired and appreciated!

Revenue collecting from cunts like that?

Bring it on, 100% behind the police on that! .

Condemning , stupidity ... even those loony , who are in fact professional racers , hardly ever cross the centre line , and look at the other traffics behavior , they move over , ,,,
ah hhh bolloox to it
Kiwi drivers are just plain crap drivers ,,, right up there with the Italians, the Indian and the Maldives Island

Even the loons are careful? - you are joking of course.

There were numerous incidents in that ride where I would expect a popo to issue a licence losing ticket.

Surprising no one local has identified that stretch of road, if its where I think it is there is township very near the bottom of that hill, well there is an intersection first, but that aside, its also a nice wee jaunt for bikes on a lazy Sunday, or silly buggers taking the long way to work. A couple of years back a bike went over the side near there on a weekly ride as well, enough said about that. Oh and If I am right its a 50Kph zone about 20 meters after the photo was taken.

Well done, as the silly biker taking the long way to work could have been me.

I agree with ticketing the idiots crossing the centreline as even when its safe it's really not.
I use the centreline as an edgeline and try not to cross it but will say I have crossed it more than I'd like to admit.
The other dangers are the slippery lines you are crossing and the catseyes that are predictably at 20m spacings, but more often than not there is 2 or 3 catseyes in one spot, and sometimes there's old ones between the good ones at 10m spacings.
Those things are no fun at all to hit at full lean, even at half lean you can wash out the front hitting them at speed.
Catseyes are near the top of my list of biggest enemies on the road, cyclists topping it at number 1

These guys need to go get some track time, and treat the roads with a little more respect. Get dressed up like a racer, ride a sports bike, and chill out a bit.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but just an FYI.... the one dude is ex-motogp and current BSB rider:

If you can't get through a set of corners at pace, without having to cut corners or cross the centreline, it's about time to rethink your on-road attitude! Ultimately, it's a public highway, not a racetrack!

True!

Any rider who thinks they have a "full lane" to ride into on right-hander bends is deluding themselves.

Most NZ drivers hug the centre lane so any oncoming traffic will almost certainly be on the centre line, if not, over it!

That means the rider will have to use their head as their keep left compliance gage!

I.E. If you bang your head on the oncoming vehicle, one of you (or both) have got it wrong!

Don't you just hate it when that happens!

Still, when you get out of hospital, you can always contest and claim that "you" were on the correct side of the road at the time!

That's what lawyers and the court system are there for and you do have your rights, don't you?

(Lawyers just love a person with a principal to prove! $$$$$)

The other alternative is to ride defensively and try to avoid becoming involved as a casualty or a victim in the first place.

If you're taking a right hander the oncoming vehicle is taking a left hander. I thought most NZ drivers cut corners so the oncoming vehicle would be close to the left, not the centreline. Still, point made - if you hit an oncoming vehicle with your head on their side of the centreline it's not the oncoming vehicle's fault.

[Brian d marge]

THIS time..

no you are comparing them with new Zealand ......a pissed indian in a Wolsey has more road craft than the average kiwi

already in this thread we have seen justification for cutting corners....anyone d before the unthinking reach for keyboards have a look again as to what was going on in that video

But there's only one who feels it!

Not an indicator of a skilled ROAD rider with a survival instinct.
