Idiot pulls out in front of bike

[Woodman]

I blame the flag marshalls...

[ducatilover]

Very. Very. Hard. Stupid that you can actually buy one.

Great innit?

[DEATH_INC.]

I've had a similar experience, back when I had the ZX12, on the straights south of dargaville. It's amazing how much ground you cover at that speed and how much it actually takes to pull up. You have to look very far ahead, as that guy was. He did everything right, no probs, carry on

[James Deuce]

Buy a camera and film yourself ... then post it online ...

onearmedbandit needs amusing ...

I hate it when you are finding the top end of your bike and shit like that happens. Thumbs up to him for not letting it phase him out and he took off at a rate of knots.

Boxing day sales - fark that shit - it will all still be on sale on Saturday.

Geez James, Rimutaka before the reshaping works...must be on VHS tape

[swbarnett]

Idion bullshit. The tractor driver had plenty of clear road for that manoeuvre. At that speed if there'd been a collision the rider would've been completely at fault.

Having said that it does look like they were very much aware of what was going on around them so all good, nothing to see here, move along now ...

[Maha]

Bet the tractor driver was probably an off-duty cop.

....and at 00:30 you can clearly see the fantastic bike rider wave to the unorthodox tractor driver, they must know each other?

[wynw]

Imagine if he had been speeding though, surely he would of died or bursty into flame or something

I wish I could ride like that. Apparently, I'm one of a very small, odd group of riders who set out to do something illegal, but ultimately can't.

Quite sadly, I quote word by word... Sometimes I don't know whether I should be proud that I never got any ticket in my life

[Gremlin]

The power of litre bikes never ceases to amaze me. From 50kph to ridiculously fucking fast in no time at all. I imagine it would be extremely hard to legally ride one with that much hooligan power at your disposal.

Nonsense, when I had a warped perception of reality, 200kph was a normal regular occurence. Cornering was much easier with both wheels on the ground too...

...Then I had a flash of brilliance standing in front of a judge pleading my case for a work licence. Funny how things like that are etched in your mind? The bikes I ride now can barely do 200kph and I've got more money in my pocket (well, it gets spent on farkles instead of depositing into the Government's Westpac bank account).

The important question is: Did you wave at 3.43??

[Edbear]

It's called "time and place" Gentlemen. Few seem to understand that.

I may never go faster than 210 but I approve the ability to buy machines that exceed 300 and would love to ride a thou to experience them.

[nzmikey]

Oh the Gixxer vid ..... Seen that twice in the past 3 days ... ohh joy ... Personally I think the guy is a fuckwit ... & thats big coming from me

[FJRider]

... instead of depositing into the Government's Westpac bank account.

And nobody has questioned why the NZ government uses an Australian owned bank ....
