Motorcyclist Speeding 195Km/h............ON L PLATES!?!?!

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

In the good ole days you couldn't lose your Ls, so the hoon option was just to keep renewing them and just ignore the fines. My dad was part of that generation, and he's pretty worried I'll do some of the stupid shit he did.

[fractoid]

[..]and the first offence is worded in such a way that they must prove danger to public (like I believe reckless driving is/was), rather than specifying an arbitrary +xxkm/h over the limit...

Back at the end of '04 when I got done in my car, they'd just changed over to the new hoon-laws system. The judge actually looked up and said "this should just be a speeding fine" and the cops reminded him that it'd just changed. ::grrface::

Anyway, I believe that now 45km/h over the limit in any zone is an automatic reckless charge, and anything over 145km/h is an automatic reckless charge. That last is bad because they don't even have to prove you were going at any particular speed, just shrug and go "ruh-uh? he was going farst, derp." In my case they didn't bother alleging a speed, it was sufficient that they'd followed me for a few minutes at over 150, and then caught up to me (when I was doing the speed limit) a couple of kms down the road.

[Rich...]

Seriously though, people like him are the ones that get all this 'motorcyclists are dangerous to everyone around them' type of shit. News just hypes it up more though. What a cock head.

Stop talking shit...

why?

You've never been that fast?

Because he pretty much fucked himself while on his L's. Surely the minute or so of happiness is not worth losing your license for 6 months and getting a hefty fine.

So you've never ever been 40 over?

So answer the mans question Mlke...

At 195km/h makes my job easier.

It might make it easier but what a hell of a thing for you and other emergency peeps to see

lol.. just realised there was 2 M*ke's ... was wondering why you'd become such a pussy bitch M!ke

Yeah I is the naughty one.

Any idea what the horsepower limit is? 150kw/tonne? Or is it 150kw/tonne?

At say, 180kg for a LAMS GT650, thats what... 22.5 or 27kw (restricted)



But yeah... must have been de-restricted unless he was going downhill with a tailwind for a long way... 27kw will only get you to around 170 ish I reckon... (judging from ZZR250 experience )

Going by what I saw when I test road the CB400, 6,800rpm @ 100kmh would equal 13,000rpm red line @ 191 kmh.
Agrees with a test review I read on the bike, top speed = 195kmh. CB400 makes 39 kw and weighs 198kg so I dunno how the CB400 is a lams bike unless there is a restricted version that only makes 30kw or I dunno how lams power to weight works properly. Hyo GT650 makes 58 kw unrestricted so should go faster than 195kmh. Maybe they caught him while he was still winding it up.

[TheScientist]

^^ for lams they make some allowance for rider weight, that also changes depending on engine capacity iirc. There's info out there on it..

[Mr DJ]

Good thing he was only doing 195.

L plates fall off at about 220km/h (allegedly).

Found out on the w/e that even when screwed on tightly, they snap off at aroud the $2.40 mark.

[Butters B)]

Ive ridden my mates hyosung GV 650(the restricted version) and that got to around 205 allegedly.... Now that the restrictor has been taken out it apparently goes to
220. and the hyosung restricted 650s are 40 kW.

Well, yeah. It makes a mess. That said, 2 vehicles going opposite directions on the highway at the speed limit have a closing speed of 220km/h.

Mop and bucket job, for the most part :/

According to einstein, the closing speed is actually more like 219.999999999999999 ...

It would do the same damage to each of them as if they hit a wall (an unyielding wall, not a brick wall that would break). That is to say, the damage sustained by a car hitting a wall at 110km/h is the same as the damage sustained by having a head on crash with another car doing 110km/h.

Yeah, tis true. Would suck to be in the middle though. And it still makes a mess.

[Crashlington]

Meh I remember shadowing a dude on a r1 that was doing good Wheelies an stoppies......

An I didn't leave him on the 12 either...
