Who Rode Today?

Be fun if the cops ran that Gen 1 in SA , I rekon I could give them a good go , with my Ohlins and BST equipped lightweight L2 !! :thumbsup:
I would love to see the dash cam footage of that chase. Be real fun to hear what they had to say as they was trying to figure out where you disappeared to :laugh:

I am getting more paranoid of late bro , but with good reason . The cops are going all out because there are 20 + more deaths on the road toll , so far this year vs last year , with bike making up the excess numbers too . So , they use it as an excuse to set up and either sit and wait and hide on bikes to chase , or set up camouflaged cameras by car , and I mean under military camo nets !! That bike cop would of been on his way to sit and hide somewhere , then if no luck move to somewhere else . It use to be only weekends , but the pricks are increasing their presence , they even stated the gloves were off when it came to bikes .
I don't go stupid in built up areas , I go out to my fav roads and mostly only hit it hard in corners , and maybe some of the shorter straights . I just ride to suit conditions , but where those conditions allow , I will wick it up . The L2 is just so tight , that bike feels so small and light to me nowadays , like it is a really wild joy full experience , every time I ride that Busa . I get home yesterday ( the long way ) and I know we made some beautiful loud noise together , and now L2 will have to hide out for a bit !!

Same over here Toad, we're way above last years and it's still climbing. But it's been a lot of stupid stuff here recently. But the pricks are using it as an excuse to reduce speed limits, quite a few of the country roads are now posted at 80kmh, 20 more than city limit. A few of the boys have been pinged at 100 and a couple at 110 for forgetting the new limits - 30 days walking. It's just the government being pricks.
For me it's nearly 2hrs in the saddle before I can find an open road with a 100 speed limit

I was wondering how long it'll be before they block cars and bikes from sale that can do over 140kmh.. Bit like the supercar scares of the 70's again .. govt a*seholes

Yes bro , they have done that over here too . I am at least lucky to get out to 100 click zones quicker than you , but all the old favorite roads close by are 80 .


Must be a bistard at not being allowed radar detectors in OZ...:(

That is certainly the case , I would love one that maybe I could wear on me or something , something stealthy . There sure are a lot of things to be alert for on a ride nowadays , and then you also got to especially watch out for unscrupulous revenue collecting pricks for the government .
 
Don't you realise the government knows what's good for you?? :lol:

It always interests me as to how they (the government) sit back and allow manufacturers to make cars like a Hellcat or a bike like the Hayabusa knowing full well these will be on the streets...

I like to watch Live PD and cringe every time there is a chase involving a motorcycle. I strongly believe all depts should have a "cease chase" clause when it comes to motorcycles.

Often these chases end in a crash, and when the cop car actually touches the bike and causes it to crash, it's the same as the LEO using a weapon in my opinion.

Of course as a "devil's advocate" here, people certainly don't respect speed limits in built up areas...

I have a road I usually walk on, it's a county road restricted to 50kms/hr and almost nobody drives at or close to that speed. They go by like they are shot out of a cannon...

I'd sure like to see more enforcement on that road as many people walk it all the time.
 
Yeah yeah me back again! Couldn't sleep called my buddy and we were on the road!

I’ll be riding a 120 miles to the Hollister Corbin factory in awhile to get a new seat for the Z900RS. This will be my fourth Corbin and the third one I’ll be buying. I brought back the first one I bought after a 4,000 mile tour to have the way too hard seat foam replaced (free of charge)
1606676


with their softer foam. Trying to forget the cost even though they’re giving me a 10% discount, it’s pretty cool being able to pick out the cover from their table of ‘skins’ and the stitching design, with or w/o piping etc and to have them contour the seat to my (seat) before putting the cover on. This was the last one I got for the 79 CBX.

That looks like a damn couch LOL
 
Can't have them here either (Ontario)
Yesterday I had 2 separate radar contacts that I was able to slow to legal speed and avoid being harassed for cash.
One was on a 5km long stretch of straight road, the unmarked cop car was coming towards me, pulsing(instant on radar) the cars in front of me one by one.... so I had ample warning and hit the brakes. All good.
Second one was in a 70kmh zone passing through a small town, got the radar contact signal from the cop that was around a corner and out of view, these detectors are amazingly sensitive! I can pick up cops from 5kms on a long straight, and around bends from a km away.
I honestly don’t know how you guys cope with having no advance warning of police in the area, as Toad said, a stealth detector worn on your person would be the way to go, but you wouldn’t want that thing beeping away while talking to the cop, you just wouldn’t be talking to the cop anyway I guess lol !

Several brands offer concealed display units too.
 
I wonder if any of the Ontario Canada riders on here use them? If so what brand is a good one?

I've heard the cops have a detector here and the fines are hefty if caught with one..(can't take away the revenue from the province can we...)

A detector to find a detector?
