***Hoons***

They have Anti-hoon legislation in Australia :rofl:

Guess I can't be considered a Hoon after turning 36 a few years ago~?~ :laugh:
 
Good point - Rich, you don't fit in the "demographics" of being a Hoon. :laugh:
 
What's a HOON? :laugh:

That's my take on the subject.

Hoon driver jailed for 10 months

Christian Marchesani has been jailed for 10 months. (ABC )
A 28-year-old man who performed high-speed motorcycle stunts in front of speed cameras in Perth has been sentenced to 10 months in jail.

Christian Marchesani, of Spearwood, pleaded guilty to four counts of reckless driving and driving while under suspension.

The court heard that in January Marchesani sat on the fuel tank of his motorbike and rode past a speed camera twice with his thumbs up, reaching speeds of up to 130 kilometres and hour in a 70 zone.

In March, he rode past another camera at 117 kilometres and hour while kneeling on his fuel tank and making obscene gestures.

At the time of the offences he was riding under suspension and serving a suspended prison sentence for similar driving offences.

In sentencing the magistrate said his reckless behaviour was a danger not only to himself but to other road users.

He was also disqualified from driving for 9 months and was fined $250 for being in possession of unlicensed ammunition.
 
Here is the first Hoon thread (I think):

Hey at that time I was the only one here with a "HOON" decal on my bike.
I have a brother in law who lives in Adelaide, so it is quite a joke between us.

Here is my quote in that thread which I still stand by:

My own perspective on Hoon:

1. A “Hoon†is a term for someone who should belong on the track, but he is on the street.
On the track, most of his behavior is acceptable.
2. The Australians have been Hooning since the days of Mad Max, circa 1979.
3. We all have some percentage of “Hoon†in us, or we would all be driving Vespas.
These bikes are not designed just for transportation, but for a lot of other reasons.
4. In some measure, the authorities everywhere don’t mind the idea of a “Hoon†as long as the hoons don’t get caught, or don’t do it in the open. – Do it somewhere else mentality.
If anyone really did care, they would surely outlaw for the street, things like hayabusas that will do hyperspeed, for that is illegal everywhere except the Autobahn .

Hey BA lighten up.
It is just a joke - the whole thing centered around a stupid word. :poke:

You can spin it anyway you want...but it is a derogatory term, that I don't care to hear or read.

Have a nice day :bigsmile:
