Now listen here Clem!

It'll do 60 in 5th, but it snatches and jerks and does more damage to the
chain than if I ride in 3rd. 4th in 70-80 and 5th over that.

Don't make me come up there and slap you

 

Does this win troll of the year?

over 150 replies and not a word from OP.

 

pft
this aint troll of the year by a long shot
that goes to paul akhbar.

 

Neither do the police in Victoria.

So it's not fuggen "happily" pulling 5th then is it?!!
If third's the highest gear it'll happily pull than that's the gear I'm
talking about!
Sheesh!
Clem

 

thud I geddit............sorry, won't happily pull 5th.

it's downright cantankerous like me

 

Ummm... Zebee... did you read the bit about the friction and wind
resistance? (Do you ever read a whole post before leaping in with stupid
snide statements?)
It's easy to hold 5000 rpm in top at 115kph but I reckon it'd be pretty
hard (and annoying) to do it in first at [big fat guess] 40kph.

That's why beer was invented!
(Ohh shit, that reminds me; I'd better get brewing for the coming
onslaught!)
Clem

 

Wrong. Shows you have no idea what you're on about.
You're trying to tell me that there have only been
10,000 cops in the NSW 'force' since the beginning
of time? The cop's number was 66312. Events like
that don't slip from memory in any sort of hurry.

If they don't, why do Vic drivers cry foul all the time? Is it
just the camera's?

That's a bit exaggerated. No-one can sit on a speed and keep it within the
law without checking it regularly. If you elect to become a moving roadblock
and sit 10 ks lower than the limit, you'll probably not have to check your
speedo,.....but no-ones game to do that or want to anyway.

I'm the same as Clem in that I vary speeds although I scan the speedo and
adjust often.

Small changes in wind and road elevation can result in plus or minus a few
k.

Personally, I think 10% tolerence is fair.

I went from 18/43 to 17/45 on the Pig which means I can cruise around in
third instead of second at 60km/h now.

But my acceleration is ballistic... : )

Work to ride, Ride to work...

 

He could have been a minister of religion from Bankstown...

 

Always seems to be drivers from the other states crying foul of these mythical
Victorian police speed tolerances... which isn't all bad... keeps some of the
tourists off my favourite roads

Apparently so... but I don't know first hand.

It won't happily pull 5th at any bloody speed. It's a red boat-anchor with
rubber bits.

New-year's day ride up the Derwent Valley, smacko?

 

Did the boys turn you upside-down often, spooky?

 

Maybe you could put them on your website, spooky? Or is that only for
road-kill?

 

Typical WA. In NSW all mobile speed cameras are operated
only by Police. Not subcontractors. Police are exempt from
the parking regulations, so parking tickets wouldn't ever be an
issue.

You'd be in trouble in the streets around me.
Half of them are 40k zones

As for me I am generally happy if some of the vintage crap I ride even runs let
alone does 60 klms
