god damn

Post by melb rider »

Did any one else hear about the huge accident in millpark.
5 people died instantly in a xr6, think it was 2 brothers, another brother, a friend, sister to 1 brother hurt
and i am not sure on the other.
just think that those families are going to be plagued by that for the rest of there life.
and the poor girl who survived was found with 2 dead bodies on top of her.
R.I.P
just think it is a tragedy

Why do bike riders have capacity/power restrictions, but none on cages ?

Std XR6 is 195 Kw. Maybe P-platers should be limited ? :?

More stupid blanket rules...Porsche 911 = 6 cylinder = OK for noob to drive. Even a 6 cylinder falcodore can be a quite fast car. Then of course you get the Red P driver in the Hyundai Excel with shit tyres/brakes/handling tearing up the roads.

YUp the system is FUCKED!! i was taken to court because of my "high performance" V8 which produces 192kw yet the xr6 is around the same and is probably lighter, heaps of p plate legal cars have higher power to weight ratios than mine. fuck them 3more months till i get my fulls for the car, then they cant stop me.
When i grow up i want a ZX6R just like Rob Racer...

Just saw this on the news......... The parents said they are so proud of their son (the driver) for laying atop his sister and saving her life :shock: :shock: Maybe they should have kicked his ass years ago and they might not be in this situation today......... Apparently he had a very bad driving record, he was banned from carrying passengers and the car was not registered...... more than just speed involved in this one.......
