'Riding dirty'

[jonbuoy]

Thats a stink place to get pinged. I can't see why that road is 80KPH, I've done the same before and just been lucky. If I lost mine I would get a work licence and put the bike keys somewhere safe. Too tempting to speed on a bike. Tuff break.

Lost me licence for a month last year Gareth, and did it by the book.
Why?.....career made that decision for me. Something to think about.




[Pervert this is Gareth's thread....fuck off if you have nothing constructive to add]

..........
I'm still paranoid at the first whiff of bacon.

me too

get an honest one you are ok - get one that would have been a reject in days of greater unemployment, who just wants to make up his quota or who thinks the uniform is a licence to ...... watever , or whose manly bulge is just a tad on the miniscule side and he'll find something to get arrogant about

and then i can't let it pass [can't STAND bullies - told the last one he had an unfortunate people manner and that NOBODY likes a smartarse]

then he'll book me [just like last time ]

then i'll get even MORE paranoid about them next time .... and so on, and so forth ......

hell, when i'm driving NOW and see a policecar i automatically jam on all the anchors irrespective of the speed i'm doing ..... it's one of those reflex thingies that us outlaws do .......

........ i know it's meant to be good to practice your emergency stops but, fellas, this is ridiculous!!.....................

Bugger sorry to hear about your plight G. I dunno, it's a tough call - you make your own decisions in the end anyhows. $320 in bus fares? Aren't you able to get one of those monthly passes which would set you back a whole less for unlimited travel?

Anyhows, 28 days? Meh, spend quality time with your nearest and dearest - put your feet up and plan anew! That's my two cents

I was on my way up Albany Hill at 6.45pm, saw the road was clear and thought F-it i'll open her up because it's clear. Basically 'cruised' at 130-140kmh through the twists in the road, it was two lanes and had no-one to share it with so used all the road on my side and didnt worry too much about the quickest line through the corners.

So, what you're trying to say is that you were acting like a twat?

i thought he was chasing someone down into Coatesville Riverhead so didnt slow down straight away.

Were you counting on there being someone more stupid than you about?
That's a rather dangerous assumption.

due to everything that happened on Sunday on top of starting the day off by losing my licence.

What else happened on Sunday? Did buffy turn you down again?

But...if I wanted to hang around overweight smelly people, ugly single mums, and the mentally challenged I'd ride the bus (or shop at Pak'n'Save)...so until I do have those desires my laughter ensues...

Are you seriously dumping on public transport, or are you just having fun making jokes?

[Jamezo]

What? He's bloody well right, at least in Upper Hutt X^(

I find it funny that excessive speed, which to be perfectly honest is a pretty weak crime, has such life altering long term punishments, yet proper crime against good people carries weaker sentences.

Justice NZ style.

how true is this guys, its just so unfair how people doing some real bad shit out there get off lightly compared to some speeding and we get into all sorts of major shit that can really affect a decent citizen in such a bad way. at least make the first time a warning or somthing.

[lukelin250]

ok gareth, i lost my licence in old albany too almost 2 months ago on the thursday night kb ride. i had options of catching buses to work etc etc but at the end of the day its just so impractical and time consuming i decided i would just much rather take my chances and ride dirrty. so thats exactly what i did, for a whole 28 days i rode every day to work and back, no more,no less. no joy rides on weekends but as long as i had work on id ride. added to this i also stuck to the speed limit and road rules religiously because i figured it lessens your chance of being pulled over. yes everytime i rode that bike i did see at least one cop, this is part of living on the north shore as you would be aware. the paranoia was almost crippling and was hard to deal with it ruins the experiance and adds a lot of stress to life when you know what the penalty is for getting caught. so anyway after all said and done i did make it through the 28 days and now have a licence again. needless to say it will be awhile before i do 40+km the speed limit.

thats my story, ill not judge or say what you should do, i just hope my experiance helps you come to a conclusion with what to do in your situation.

I wonder if posts on here are admissable in court as evidence?

[Mr. Peanut]

How effective are radar detectors in these sort of situations?

[scumdog]

How effective are radar detectors in these sort of situations?

Oh fine, just fine, they make funny noises and if they do it at the right time and you make sure you are not exceeding the speed limit then all is well.

Of course if no noise comes out of them at the right time and you are going faster than the speed limit then you have a very expensive fairing decoration - and in all possibilty a very expensive bit of paper called an I.O.N.

[Mr. Peanut]

No no no, it's not like that at all my dear Scummy. I just thought it would be nice to know when the local enforcers are in proximity, so we could have a nice chat and all that.

Now how about that garage door opener?

[R6_kid:Me]

So, what you're trying to say is that you were acting like a twat?

I was acting outside the law but it doesnt take a highly skilled rider to do the speed i was doing on the given piece of road in a 'safe' manner.

Were you counting on there being someone more stupid than you about? That's a rather dangerous assumption.

I wasnt counting on it, could have been someone stupid BEFORE me, or could have been responding to a drug bust/domestic etc out in Coatesville.

What else happened on Sunday? Did buffy turn you down again?

No something a little more serious and life changing than that, you twat.

What use is a fucked homo to me?

A more literate KB poster on the other hand would be a damn handy thing (in fact we need a shitload more literate posters here).

vote national then....
