That's pretty loose.

I've jambed the phone inside my helmet before in an emergency but texting while riding!? While wearing THAT gear?

I'd prefer not to know who that is.

Gotta love the white monsters though.

What a make the beast with two backsing brainiac  [roll] [bang] [bang] [bang]

Nice riding boots there!  ;-)

big

I'm surprised he's wearing a helmet  [bang] [bang]

Ironic really.  Coz there's surely little worth protecting within.

No throttle hand so can't have been going v fast, unless he's got the rubber band bogan cruise control going.

 
     My stepson just bought a new white lams monster, but is furiously denying that its him in the photo.

is that tattooed ankles?? He keeps riding like that and his artwork wont be worth a pinch of shit!!?? [roll]

Here's us trying to get some credibility with the authorities!  [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]

He brings shame to Monster riders.
What a naf riding in that gear and carrying on like that, he should be more than fined if found.

Interesting to see the difference of opinion here on the monster forum as opposed to those posting on this guy's antics on the GRO (girls ride out) fb page. A few posters there being concerned that his behaviour gives bike riders a bad name. Pfft!

Exactly Matty,

            He should have his bike taken away from him right now, and given to someone responsible - like me  [thumbsup]



                                   Mmick ;D
     

well it does. Pisses me off no end that a moron on a learners permit behaves like that and the coppers fine him $600 and 5 points, big deal! now the fuzz have more ammo to harass the rest of us tarred with the same brush.
the idiot should be publicly flogged and his bike donated to charity, cause he's just going to crash it anyway

BTW, just call me charity.

Seriously though,

       This bloke is a make the beast with two backswit!

           And he got off lightly, send him through an emergency ward or better yet dfrag him off to a Motor Vehicle Accident where there is some carnage, he might then see the error in his ways.




                                            Mmick

No doubt at all about his moron status.

But how'd you know he's on a learner's permit?

If he is, he just failed and should have it cancelled.

It was actually on tonight's news, apparently he was a 21yo learner rider, the cops have tracked him down and cancelled his license, the guy was approached by a news crew and he had plenty of attitude and was not remorseful. Apparently the photo was taken by a bus passenger on the m4.....just crazy stuff texting whilst riding at speed with a bus in the lane next to him. This guy needs to have some older more experienced riders pull him aside a teach him a thing or two about staying alive otherwise it is likely he will shortly end up another road statistic.

Also to reflect previous comments he doesn't deserve to ride such a nice bike either.....very frustrating hear the  words "Ducati Monster" and "idiot" used in the same sentence on prime time TV

This.

I remember on a group ride when we all took a break at Robertson pie shop to regroup, and a couple of idiots turned up on a gixxer wearing shorts and t-shirt.

The looks of death these guys got from every single biker in the place were amazing. Kristyn noticed too, so it was a good lesson for her (not that she was ever likely to act like a squid).

This makes me angry on a few levels.
Sure he has made a poor decision to SMS(if that is what he is doing) on his phone while riding compounded as a novice.
But maybe he was checking maps as he was lost (unlikely I know)
But am I just as bad looking down at my GPS  [bang] ?
What is worse .....idiot rider checking his facebook while riding on a 170 kg bike or boof head in a 20 tonne truck plowing through
a group of stationary vehicles as he is using his phone.
They are both bad , what makes me angry is how the media jumped all over this making you and I all look like idiots as we all ride motorbikes
and the bus passenger who just had to send the photo to the media.
The worse offenders of this activity are on the roads right now on their way to work texting and talking hundreds of them NOW
and no one seems to notice or care like the P plated girl going past me stopped at a red light straight through without even noticing
or the white collar exec in his Beemer driving slowly wandering all over the road instead of looking out for me.
The penalty for this (like pricks spraying graffiti) should be increased expediently , how about Mr Plod here is an idea go out and hunt down these c#nts
instead of pulling me over for doing a couple of K's over the limit on a safe road.
It is just as bad as driving drunk. [bang]

Tuesdays RANT .

We all have brainfart moments, some of us just don't have the luck to have a "concerned citizen" with a smartphone dob you into SMH, ACA or TT.

For example, I was on the way to the shops with the family the other day...

As for our friend on the white monster, Darwin will sort him out!

Theres no excuse.  Lost?  Pull the make the beast with two backs over to check.

Clearly the bigger the weapon the worse the potential adverse outcome.  Still doesnt excuse this particular act of stupidity. Coz....

We're a minority.  It's mass-media's job to fan pre-existing prejudice.  Which is why behaviour like this idiot's is so infuriating and why its important for as many of us as possible to behave responsibly, and to go out of our way to do so.

Absolutely agree with you.

But that is another story, isnt it.

No offense but your wife could do with a shave.

Just sayin.....

'course, in his defense, he's apparently only a learner - imagine the outcry if someone who "shoulda known better" did something like that?

 [laugh] [laugh]   [puke] [puke]

i have been told that police have an exception.....  ???

"do as i say and not as i do"


wonder why there's no respect for pigs and their credibility resembles the donuts they stuff their fat lying faces with???

On the flip side a young girl texting while driving here recently hit and killed a motorcyclist and apparently has been charged with manslaughter and is likely to serve time! Extremely sad on both counts as both lives have been ended over something so unimportant!

And a couple of weeks later another motorcyclist was killed following a road rage incident where a four wheel drive was upset with a bike and ran him off the road!

It's a different world we live in now with smart phones and road rage!  [thumbsdown]

Manslaughter?? First offence? Slap on the wrist, loss of licence, fine and a suspended sentence!! See ya later!  [roll] [roll]

An example NEEDS to be made to get the message accross that killing someone (Yes, even a motorcyclist!) with a vehicle is going to get you incarcerated!! [clap]

You know the consequences of your actions and you choose your path accordingly!! You kill someone?? You have to pay!!  [bang] [bang] [bang]

So killing someone while texting and driving carries virtually the same penalty as a learner using his phone while riding not causing any harm to others bar inciting anger in the greater community......seems odd!  ???

Unless they are morally corrupt and have no conscience they still have to live with it for the rest of their lives   

the girl above may get a manslaughter charge, but cops obviously dont...

p.s. i hope the guilt ruins her life and the sight of cupcakes makes her physically ill... to contend the charges when she was so obviously in the wrong is in itself a disgusting example of todays "someone elses fault" society. TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR FAULTS!!

Issued at 5pm, Monday 28 May 2012

Police will issue infringement notices to a man after he allegedly rode his motorcycle whilst using his mobile phone on the M2 Motorway yesterday.

Between 2pm and 4pm (Sunday 27 May 2012), a 21-year-old man was allegedly riding his motorcycle on the M2 Motorway whilst operating his mobile phone.

A member of the public took a photograph of the man which was provided to police.

About 1.30pm today (Monday 28 May 2012), the man attended the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command and assisted police with their inquiries.

He will be issued two infringement notices for use mobile phone and not display L plate.

Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, said that it was great news that the community does not accept this type of behaviour.

“This is clearly reckless rider behaviour and a member of the public identified it and reported it to authorities.

“We have been able to intervene and hopefully modify this rider’s behaviour before his disregard for road safety leads him or others to a much more tragic outcome.

“Riders and drivers should appreciate that the wider community do not accept such poor behaviour and will continue to use modern technology to bring such events to our notice,” Assistant Commissioner Hartley said.
