They probably ride those same roads fast when its quiet. but through that traffic you're asking for trouble. What they're doing is merely building on their personal complacency - Not Skill.

"when its quiet" - no matter when they do it or how well they know the roads they just shouldn't travel at those speeds.

My understanding is that they are speed limited to 299kph.
But I guess that limiter could be ‘adjusted’ lol.

And it's this sort of attitude that's hardened public attitude against motorcyclists, and a $500 yearly rego fee as compensation.

At those sort of speeds, what could possibly go wrong?
That's the sound of your hip and elbow getting sanded off.

Judging by driving habits and comments made by some you would certainly think so wouldn't you, in NZ that is.

There are public roads without speed limits and that's gold in this awesome planet we live on, if the thought of that upsets, don't go to Europe or Germany.

Be very careful who you are talking to guys. You might have to take your own life.

$250k?
OK Fair point. What was the car?

I thought about it, as I think it's unfair to pay $500 for something that only gets used on weekends, but I prefer not to sweat if there's a cop cruising behind me. And running from the cops is stupid, the next motorcyclist they pull over gets an earful. Or you could crash and die.

As a motorbike discussion thread grows in length, the probability of a commenter impugning another commenter's manhood approaches 1.

Heres the answer. Biker 1 doesn't know biker 2. biker 1 has a bmw RR and overtakes no2. no 2 is on an R1. they both have racing leathers. no2 wants to play. It's all on. does this situation appear familiar to anyone? cos its as sure as hell what i do. want a race anybody?
