Stunt group news report
Thoughts??
i agree with that dude...
he isn't cutting anyone off... so blah blah blah.
however, it is illegal to create a disturbance
that may cause other drivers to react erratically.
also, should a guy be doing stunts on interstates
and heavily populated roads... and have an
accident... in which another car is involved,
its quite possible that the other car could
be held liable... which isn't fair.
what causes me to stand in the middle of this
debate, is that i know/understand how restricted
it can be to ride like that... meaning, it would
seem that there isn't really any place that
one could play on unless it was completely
abandoned or shut off. which isn't fair.
analogy?
kids in small towns
if they have no place to go... expect them to
go into public
Good reply.... [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Many things I find [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]
1) Cops treat a lot of bikes weather doing stunts or not as BAD
2) Do a wheelie or stoppie go to jail. 12 points for speed expo. Loose a lic for one stunt. Yet many of these stunts are done at below the speed.
3) We have no place to go and do it. Look at the helicopter incident. We were WAAAAAAAAay out in no where land and they had a tip where we would be and they came and found us. We saw like 4 cars in an hrs time
The flip side...
1) many kids that see stunts will immitate what they see and not know how and crash
2) if you crash you could hurt someone else besides yourself if on the street
3) people that start stunting just keep doing harder and harder stunts until finally it bites them.
So there is my fence riding [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
well its obvious that there is alot of unnecessary
discrimination against activities of the sort...
which is bogus and lame, imo...
Riding a modern sportbike around doing the speed limit would drive anyone nuts. They are so fast that doing 70 literally feels like you are barely crawling along. Simply put, you will not ride a sport bike and be able to obey all traffic laws.
However I kind of have mixed feelings involving wheelies in traffic. You guys have seen some of the videos that cya has posted...when a sportbike goes down, it's usually a yard sale.
Let's be honest...The drug free Gomer Pyle that they interviewed is no Valentino Rossi. He will eventually go over. Everyone does if they do it enough and it usually happens once you have your confidence up.
Hmmm...another fucked up TG post where I've typed some words but havent actually said a damn thing.
Doing 120 on a sportbike is nothing. The penalties for speeding shouldnt be so bad. Trucks have a lower speedlimit on the interstate because they are big and cumbersome. Why shouldnt a bike have a higher speed limit?
Wheelie..dont wheelie...I dont care. Just wear a God damn helmet and trade in the flip flops and wife beater for some leathers and boots. Wearing leathers may not look cool to your buddies at the local foot locker, but it looks a whole lot cooler then road rash on your nipples.
Burnouts? I think they should be renamed to "Here Mr. Dunlop, have some cash".
done.
[img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] good reply. Hadnt thought about how much better a bike handles or how much faster they can stop compaired to your average 18 wheeler. But round hear cops will write you for careless driving if you signal blinks twice and you change lanes. HAPPENED TO G.DAMN FAST I TELL HE MUSTA BEEN SPEEDIN!
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">that is so fucking stupid i can't even begin to reply to itQuote:

you should know better than to post bs like that
BOO! [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]
**** [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img] **** and here I was gonna say nice reply
Well back to [img]graemlins/shhh.gif[/img]
Yeah...gotta agree...the higher speed limit bull was pretty stupid...sure the bikes can go faster and stop sooner but that doesn't change how other people drive...picture yourself going 90 in the left hand lane...and someone in the right is going to change lanes...the look in the rear view and see noone hindering them...not realizing your doing 90, they change lanes...bam you hit them...the speed limits aren't set for the vehicle's limits...they are set for the humans limits...at higher speeds, higher reaction times are required...
Sportbikes riders will do 90 anyways. When riding my VFR, I always cruised at 95 on the interstate and never had any problems. I'm saying that the fines shouldnt be so heavy for speeding.
The problem with traffic on a sportbike is when you are actually doing the same speed as the traffic around you. It is at that time that you fall into a blind spot and risk someone coming over on you.
The other thing is that even if someone does come into your lane, you have the ability to react much differently than in a car. A bike will easily be able to move over so that even if the car comes over, they could momentarily share the same lane. Being so fast, however, most of the time when you are riding and you see it happen, you simply out accelerate the other car and everything's cool.
but what if the vehicle moving into your lane is a tank?...do you think you could share the lane with a tank?...I don't think you could...

you are claiming that a bike should use its
natural ability to ride above the law... and
to have the law compensate them for their abilities.
which is gay.
if your argument were effective -- then semis
could lax off on that rule and use their sheer
bulk to push other drivers around (not that they
don't)... and then be compensated because hey,
they are big.
its like that time we were buttfucked in that
one-lane conway traffic... and there were cars
cutting on the shoulder to get around...
you commented on the fact that they shouldn't
do that and how it pisses you off.
seems contradictory.....
you either follow the rules or you don't.
you cannot allow for bikes to have special laws
when, in the case of the conway traffic, its
not fair that a smaller car can use the shoulder.
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">Gay? No. What's gay is the government telling me how fast I can go. Speed limits are gay. Let's take a visit back to EK3's post....Quote:

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">Wrong wrong wrong.Quote:

Speed limits are not set for humans limits. They are set for revenue. Remember when all interstate speed limits were 55? No 70 or 65 anywhere....55. It was like that for years until they finally changed it back in the early 90's. Are you telling me that we all of a sudden became better drivers so they decided to raise the speed limits? No...it was other factors.
Why rely on others to tell you how you should drive? What if the government set a limit on the number of times you could wipe your ass?
***wow you all argue about it better then me... sits back and waits for EK3 and Shatzy reply ****

keep up with the convo [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img] [img]mad.gif[/img]
Fine...I'll give you the fact that speed limits could be for revenue...but moving them from 55-75...albeit is a big difference...75 is not going that fast...but going 90-100 is much different...the car starts floating...and much more concentration is needed...if you think speed limits should be 90+...you're fucking crazy...
ahhhhhhhh but since the cop will be writting you a speed expidition ticket which he has to prove that you were in some way shape or form ignoring the speed limits and standards set by the government arent we really talking about the "speed" then

my argumentative post was in direct relation to
tg and that stupid comment he made.
the thread has since gone askew due to the fact
that tg attempted to justify his mistake...
bringing it around to a speeding issue...
which isn't what is being said at all
False.
Only parts of Montana interstates dont have speed limits. That being the very remote parts (isnt all of Montana remote?).
Actually though, I remember hearing rumblings about Montana reinstating Speed Limits everywhere a year or so ago. If I were actually thinking of moving to Montana I would go and look it up.
And I also know that even in the places in MT that had no limits, they could get you on other technicalities such as "Reckless Driving" or whatever the hell they call it.
The autobahn is where it's at....
you have no business owning a license
I just looked it up.
This is what it used to say...

However it says that in 1999 the limits were put back into place at 75. I guess the shitheads elected Wes into public office and he changed it.

I'd rather be voted in by the shitheads...than the idiots who voted in the previous dumbass...
*** snicker *** Elected to office.. LOL Anyhow good pix. HMM Can I borrow that pix in the futer?
day speeds and night speeds suck....
i got ticketed for that on the way to houston once...it was like 60 at night and 70 during the day, but i had it on cruise the whole time and between day and night....i never changed it, so i got pulled over and ticketed for doing like 75 or 78 in a 60....i was ticked, but i got out of it all and it never showed up on my insurance
heh heh
touche
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">Go right ahead. It isnt my pic.Quote:

montana interstates don't have speed limits, you should move up there
Sooo people over there are dumbass drivers at night?
We have the same speeds no matter what time of day it is..
Only the gay states have different night speed limits.
Arkansas is the same day or night.
And they are lower because of reduced visibilty, not because people drive crazier at night.
Ran across this on CYA's board...LINK
I believe I had a post about this very event.
of course it was a fucking van [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]
You got a problem with vans?
when driving behind them? yes
you gotta problem with that?? [img]mad.gif[/img]
im soooooooo lost [img]confused.gif[/img]
its simple: van drivers piss me off
hypocritically, this doesn't apply when riding in one
