[_Shrek_]

OI! Who you callin' old!?

'Sides, after 38 years, you can boast how long you been ridin'...

38 for me this year & 98tls is still realy old

[nallac]

dont forget the terrorists.... opps sorry tourists that are also a major problem on the roads.... or the foreigners that get licences in there own country that can not drive...

hazards are therE at all speeds... and even when you are stopped...

don't forget the goody two shoe bikers doing the speed limit,
sheesh getting in our way while we are doing 200+ .
man they are just unsafe.....

[3umph]

You think I'm too fucking dumb to realise that?

There's a big difference between 100kph and 200 kph.

whats the difference to hitting a bank at 200kph or hitting a truck at 100kph and the truck doing 100kph towards you... f all still a 200kph impact

HELL NO!!!!, it'd make overtaking em more fun....

Interestingly, I have been overtaken at around that speed, wasn't a pretty sight watching when things went a bit spastic seconds after, I must add that, the bike itself, handled the situation very well on one wheel, when the front rejoined with the road....

Some years ago my boss purchased a brand new turbo 200SX Nissan and took me for a ride - I recall closing my eyes as he hit 100 past Smiths City heading down from the over-bridge..........

The most dangerous part of a ride to Kaikoura is riding though Christchurch on the way out and coming back through Christchurch on the way home.

If you're on your side of the road and he's on his then you're not likely to collide.

If he's on your side, that's a fuck. If you're on his side you're the fuck.

And that attitude that "I'm a crazy motorcyclist, but meh, what can I do about it" is the very attitude that is likely to kill Motorcycling in New Zealand as we currently know it.

The fact that fuckwits on here constantly complain about car drivers pulling out on them unexpectedly but praise the actions of motorcyclists that ride in a manner that is far from responsible makes me want to fucking puke.

Yep i can and always have seen your point Katman and have never got into the continual whinging posts about your point but in this case just trying to make a point myself,i dont have an opinion on these guys actions really let alone condoning it there just a couple of guys out doing there thing and got pinged,ive no idea how long they did 200 clicks for but would guess not long as the nature of kiwi roads would suggest they would have to of slowed down sooner rather than later..we all know this,was it responsible?in the eyes of the law i guess not,was it safe?knowing that section of road i would say yes to a degree.You will never stop people on bikes doing things like this..never,bikes are bikes n people are people,far more important methinks is getting people to see theres a time/place/road etc to do such things.People can rant on about "take it to a track" till the cows come home,good point but its not going to stop people going hard on road bikes on the road.Like i said i see your point and as good a point as it is its not going to stop guys doing it.The answer?no idea.i learnt through 38 years of riding,i was lucky to have survived a few big offs way back and as i posted theres a time n place.

Its been speculated that many things that happen in NZ will kill motorcycling as we know it , like when the wire wheel katana 1100 came out and people said it was to fast for the road and we are drawing attention to ourselves or more realistically when in 99 a Haya busa hit the showrooms and it did 320 kmh (it actually was a fast bike unlike the katana)and people say oh no oh no the sky is falling on my head and ten years on its all cool , chillax bloke have a beers and go for a ride
