What footpath?
What roundabout?
What steps?

Then add sports bike handling, a 103 horsepower gem of an engine, touring ability, comfort and you have an XB12X.

The second time by an officer by the side of the road, again no proof and at the time I wasn't going more than 60.

Good on ya Max. Outstanding.

There once was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood. One day her mum sent her off on her Hyosung to Grandma’s house with a picnic basket because Grandma was sick. She got firm instructions not to leave the road to ride on the footpath and go straight to Grandma’s house because of the Big Bad Wolf.

Halfway to Grandma’s house she saw the prettiest flowers decided to ride off the road and onto the footpath to go and pick them.

Just as she bent down to grab them she saw the Big Bad Wolf behind the bush. His eyes were as big as basketball balls. She said:’ Wolf, why are your eyes so big?’ The Big Bad Wolf said: ’ Get the fuck away, can’t you see I’m taking a shit!!’

By posting someones rego you have effectively posted his name, His address, and what he owns.

Info you have no right to be spreading, Especially based on some crap about seeing him on a footpath and disapproving.

Show some respect.

Get over it !

Christ in a thread only a few post down there is a rego in the title. but this was posted by someone with a larger post count - and guess what - not a single moan.

But wait there is more - Someone actually posted where he lived (area) - again no moaning. Again this was posted by 'an old timer'

In another thread about bikes being stolen - a guys rego, name and address were posted (wrong guy BTW) - no moaning there either.

"Show some respect" (to a nobody who was acting like an idiot) - pffft Show some intelligence

Hear hear!

Personally, I think there are too many GN250 riders out there.

I'll tell you what buddy, I'll have my opinion and I won't give a shit what you think about it, and ya can stick ya reference to post count up your nether regions.

I'd spew blood if I seen some nub posted my rego on here, And I'd respect others by not being so arrogant as to do it myself.

**Morcs** · 14th November 2007, 20:53

Fuck will everyone stop moaning about other peoples riding already...

Half the time I ride like a complete nutjob just so someone can write about me on KB...

I kinda recognise the plate and bike - could be a courier.

What I was getting at was the hypocrisy on the board where someone who has been here 'ages' can write something and nobody has any issue with it.

Then a 'noob' (like me, or the original poster) writes something almost exactly the same and people jump the fuck over him.

Thats why the post count comment was used in context of the argument.

Why I quoted you was because you were simply jumping on a bash up bandwagon to the original poster and offering nothing of value.

And regarding you comments about respect - pffft

Respect has to be earned - not given as a right to people who are acting in a manner not deserving of it.

oh - that and its a fucken bike forum - its no place for respect and group hugs.

Yes. My name is jrandom, and I am special. Four and a half years means I can get away with shit now and then.

Oh, yeah, and here's my bike's rego:

Bring it on, stalkers.

WTF !!!

There was a parked car and guy in a BMW that had tried to squeeze through the gap but ended up blocking the left lane.
You can't just jump the pavement to go around, not in the middle of a rather busy shopping area.

I was on the GN waiting behind the guy blocking the lane and at the next set of lights I was only two cars behind you.
You can't tell me that getting two cars ahead justifies riding down the pavement.
The guys in the butchers shop were stunned and gave me a filthy look just because I happened to be on a bike.

I've been on the pavement to go round an obstacle once or twice but never in such a busy area and never for such a trivial holdup as a parked car.

I hope you or someone that knows you reads this because this kind of thing tarnishes the reputation of all bikers.

fucksakes. get over it, and get over yourself.
