Anyone read 2days newspaper??? http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...87-2682,00.html

They are on about cyclists and Bicycle SA want all 50km/h residential roads to be 40km/h and all 60m/h high-capacity roads to be 50km/h, Because of the cyclists and car incidents. They even have their own thing going about where the worst places to ride a bike is due to 'dangerious' vehicles.

How many cyclists u see on the road and they are weiving all around the joint/ turning with out indication or even worse when there is a group of them, and they ride side by side! Where is our Black spot poll about the worst places to drive due to arrogant/d!ckhead cyclists.

From the artical

Senior Sergeant Paul Warren, officer in charge of the Traffic Training and Promotion Section agreed slower speeds gave drivers more time to stop, but he stopped short of supporting the lowered limits.

Sen-Sgt Warren said slowing down could be the difference between a pedestrian or cyclist being "bumped instead of stonkered".

I just find it stupid they want to slow the speed down even more, Soon walking will be faster (watch out they might put a speed limit on walking) Why dont they rego bikes or at least if they are goin to be on a main road they should do a drivers course so they know the rules of the road. Because i came arross this bloke never had his car license and he wonders why he keeps getting tapped or knocked off his bike (why dont they give way) How can THOSE ppl be allowed on the road, iv come arross LOTS of cyclists and they all share the road. Slowing down the speed is goin to sh!t all!

What have u got to say about this ppls

yeah its ghey but its Adelaide soon slower and dumber than the rest

Haha... Just like ppl still CANT merge!

A lot more voting motorists than voting cyclists :thumbsup:

Yeah thats true, which is a good thing coz if they ever did change the speed limits every motorist would kick up a stink!

i seen em street racing while working late 1 night, come out onto the main rd there was about 30 of them running 4 wide atleast. as i went to slowly pass them 1 pulls out infront of me to make his way to the lead of the pack. was lucky i was only going slow past them.

GOD DAMN STREET RACERS, take it to the veladrome race track

HAHAHA.... Road closed stuart o'grady find another way home!

as a regular road cyclist and a fellow SAU, i personally think you shouldnt whip the bull to make him plough harder! Get a new plough! Mike Rann should really spend less money on travelling all over the world and shaking hands with Arnie and spend some money on more bicycle lanes!

HAHAHA.... Road closed stuart o'grady find another way home!

get this they were running red flashing neons on the back and riding heavly modified bikes. some of these things were completely made of carbon fibre :( wheres there defect sticker. looked like hid head lights on the front to

Then they will have meets at car parks and start hooting on the street and drifting

yeh let's make drivers go slower so when cyclist act like dicks and get themselves hit, they dont get hurt as much.

i can laugh cos i know it wont happen.

its pretty arrogant

the roads were made for cars

car owners and other vehicles pay registration and other fees to keep the roads maintained

and when there ARE speed limits for cars, you see these lycra clad dickheads exceeding said speed limits. I've been overtaken by wankers when doing 50kph in a 50 zone. f**k cyclists, they should stick to linear park or piss off.

-D

They wanted to turn the CBD roads in Adelaide down to 40 or something to copy Melbourne.

It's not bikes that should be banned. It should be scooters! These f**king scooters that do 60 in a 80 zone in the middle of the road are down-right dangerous! Ban those gay f**king scooters.

I tried to ride my bike on the roads here, its suicide!!!! too many tools who dont know how to drive , or the roads suck ..too many potholes and parked cars..lol

make the roads faster, and make it legal for bikes to ride on the sidewalks here ???? either that or create some paths like the one on the expressway , away from cars completey ???

Hell todays news

how you going to stop the trains from hitting bikes ???

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...18-2682,00.html

but hey if the roads get any slower the cops could use these to catch you drifting grannies Handicap Mobility scooters around town..lol

Thats what Im talkin about, build dedicated trails so they have no cause to whinge. I still see cyclists without helmets riding on roads. Morons... Linear park's bike trail is quite a good example of what could be good, however the cyclists still menace pedestrians. their mentality is that 'if i go off the trail ill get a puncture so I'll make the pedestrians take 1 little step sideways'

Dicks.

Exactly.... if your going to ride 10+ abreast like your in the tour down under on on anzaqs at rush hour. your going to get abused by drivers.. ride in a bike lane and pay attention , not a problem

how many of you see this every day in the city ?????and they wonder why they get hit ...Hello !!!

Yep 4 times yesterday driving around the place.... mostly in packs of 4, 2 abreast but still cmon guys, the bike lane is single file... you are NOT lance armstrong and u never will be so just stick to single file and take advantage of reduced wind resistance

the velodrome was built on the pretense of getting some of these hoon cyclists off the road, but it just hasnt worked ;P

-D

speaking of, my f**king tea went cold waiting to get through Salisbury because of this nonce.

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...18-2682,00.html

dude obvously watched fast and furious the night before and thought he was vin diesel

-D

Yeah I saw this posted somewhere and actually took notice of the cyclists as I went home. Two of eight were riding legally the rest were running reds, wrong side of the road, not wearing helmets etc. The best was running a red without a helmet with 6 bags of shopping on one handle, pro.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
