    Here we go again,you could fill the Waikato times front to back with pictures of fat bastards riding whatever and print as many stats as you like,you could change the speed limit through such roads as often as you like it all adds up to 2 5ths of fuck all,motorcycles/ego/inability to handle either = bad shit will happen.Simple really.Threads about it wont change jack,never have and never will.

    For an accident to happen (even on a corner) ... someone has failed to keep left (TURN) Do you believe that the speed that rider/driver entered the corner would be of little importance to the end result of "somebody" being on the wrong side of the road ... ????

    Perhaps there are more corners than straights ... so the odds of "accidents" happening on corners would be greater .... which is shown in the statistics ...

    It would increase aggro level when a previous 20 km's over the limit ticket becomes a 28 day instant walking ticket. With a possible 3 months walking followed ... after the court case. After how many of one of those tickets ... would YOU slow down ... ???

    If they are traveling UNDER the speed limit ... and riding with all due care ... THEY are safer to have on that road that some dick on a sport bike 40 km's over the speed limit ... whatever it is ...

    It would be interesting to know what type of bikes were involved in 'accidents"....I'll go out on a limb and say cruiser bikes would be in the minority .....
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    reading posts on this site used to be like reading the death notices. Seems to have slowed down a bit, Darwin may be catching up. There ant f*%k all wrong with the road I reckon. Been riding it for years.

    Now you sound lie a law making politician. As an experienced biker you know damn well that that statement is incorrect. Some people are safe at high speeds, some shouldn't be allowed to do 50....

    The one's that are safe at speed dont crash ... right ... ???

    And none of those people have crashed on the Coro' loop ... right ... ??

    And if they did crash ... it wasn't their fault ... so speed wasn't a factor ... right ..???

    His post says "some dick on a sports bike" - not "everyone on a sports bike".

    You, of all people, should understand the very real danger of idiots overstepping their ability on that road.
