I have no faith in the law or court system at all.

Seen one too many examples, one too many friends killed/murdered, and the crims walking free. :thumbsup:

Thats all I'll say on the matter.

Crims usually get off because police think they can be slack with procedure's or paperwork and or lack of evidence or all of the above

some of the minimum sentence's could be increased especially in repeat offenders cases

The courts really are a joke.

You'll get the max term if its a financial crime (fraud etc), but take someone's life and thats okay :)

If you rob a bank, just make sure you shoot someone on the way out, and get a lesser sentence.

There's extenuating circumstances to every situation, dont act like you know everything and that 1 punishment fits all crimes

by that logic all your bikes would of gone to the crusher for the hoon law you want to initiate

Never said one punishment for all crimes. Never claimed to know everything, but I know a damned sight more than people think. You have no idea of what I've been thru, what I've lost, what I do, and yet what I do know. I've sat thru the courts hearing on many occasions and seen piss weak results come from it. You see it splashed over the headlines all the time.

Take the best female friend you can think of Steve. You dated her, you became best friends, you socialised so often and got along so well people would swear you were still going out, she was there at the best and worst times, she was there for your wedding and you for hers ... even any hour of the morning for any small emergency. Now fast forward 12 years into that strong friendship and some crim out on bail awaiting trial, who has committed no less than 4 major traffic offences in 2 months (including 2 accidents), yet still free to roam, he plows his speeding car into your best friend's car killing her instantly (and permanently disabling another friend), and you saw this happen! Then sit in the court room when the judge only gives him 7 months! Your best friend of 12 years was only worth chicken feed. Life is now a currency for trading in a court of law.

Maybe I'm a bit biased ... but I earned it. I never asked for this bitter taste. I'd rather have my friend back.

The same hoon laws should apply to motorcyclists also, true. I welcome it. None of my bikes will be crushed.

Yeah i agree you make an excellent case for tougher laws and penalties and with what i said that obviously no extenuating circumstance could really be valid for behaveior like that i also think the decision shouldn't be left upto one magistrate

with my 2nd comment with conversations youv'e had with Brendan you make it sound like you go for spirited rides in the hills with your buddies , well thats what iv.e also seen with other bikes oh and the comment of not wanting the police to come and check over your bikes and things ...

Our rides in the hills are in 100pkh zones and altho we get thru corners quickly, we are still within the 100kph limit. Its how we ride within the speed limit that makes it a spirited and enjoyable ride. We are strict with less skilled riders staying within their limits. Just because we can take the 35kph corner at 70-80kph, doesn't mean they should.

Nathan has been on our rides and has witnessed how we brush off 'bad' riders. I've seen some shockers on bikes too.

Not saying I'm entirely innocent. I have rare moments, but I keep it away from the population. I've never received a traffic offence (speeding/stunting etc) in my 19 years of riding, so I wouldn't say that even any weak moment I have is hooning ... I'm more of a saint. :) Hooning is a combination of attitude and action.

So I welcome the hoons laws ... it'll remove the type we don't need for an already bad name for bikers.

Don't believe I've ever made the comment about not wanting cops to look over my bike. I've been pulled over many times in the hills and suburbs by police whilst on my bikes, and only ever been defected once in 19 years. My TLR has a full Yoshimura system, but I keep the baffles in it thru the suburbs.

that should read you shouldnt take 35 kph corners at 70 to 80 either if the limet is 35 it makes no difference to your riding capabilities 35 kph is still 35 kph

35 is those yelllow "recommended" speeds for the corners, not the speed limit. And we certainly tell the younger riders to not attempt it at a risky speed at all. Nathan can vouch for that. He's already been cautioned and given advice to stay safe.

Most of the guys I ride with (including myself) are racers or ex-racers and are highly skilled, and we regularly attend track days. We explain that to the slower riders ... "we take the corner a little faster because we can ... you can't". We will pull over and wait for you up the road, its not a race. Our bikes are set up with better suspension, brakes and rubber to handle the "spirited" ride. And we certainly don't wear simple shorts and t shirt. Full protective gear always. We use our heads and senses quite alot, I guarantee you that. :)

On the other side of the coin, some of the guys I ride with love their wheelies. I don't condone it ... I don't even wheelie myself (I'm chicken shit). But they're good mates on and off the bike. I think they're fools, and sure enough they have all crashed doing a wheelie, one did so recently. I'll let the law judge them.

to be fair you saying it is alrite to go through a corner as fast as you want as long as its under the speed limit? well under hoon laws that is an offence for a car to be seen driving "without due course", "miss use of a motor vehicle" and a few other small things.

if your gonna have a crack at those going quick round corners then you must apply the same logic to bike riders, regardless of there skill

ye. this is pritty tragic.. im about the drivers age so i know of him. from what i have gathered he was doing 140 and was planning 2 do a u bolt. so he chucked it into 2nd gear (compression lock up) and tried 2 do a u bolt. u can guess what happened.

Fulham makas is the hoon joint. and from what i know there is alot young - dare i say idiots that go there each and every night betwen the hours of 12am-5am.

I went there 2 days after the crash happened, and do you think that group learned their lesson. no. people hooning around, not in their JAP cars/turbos but in standard old commodores, a fight at the stove pole the guy crashed into and shitloads of weapons but still cop cars cruzing past in 10 minute intervals.

this is a cool joint 2 hang. but its dickheads that make it a shit hole.

so evry1ns making a big deal about this 1. so what, there are thousands of these types of accidents that happen. what the government needs 2 do is build a PUBLIC raceway/ DRIFTLANDS. every other state has one or the other close to their cities. y dnt we?

overall, Im not trying 2 bag hooning and shit like that (afterall i am abit of a hoon at times :P) but i know the difference between being at the track and on the street. something that people dnt get.

my prayers go out 2 these guys.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
