A Kiwi man who was caught riding his motorbike along the Eastern Freeway in Melbourne with a barbecue strapped to his body was fined A$800 (NZ$1007) today and lost his licence for one month. Michael Wiles spotted the cast-off cooker on the nature strip where it had been left for rubbish collection and, not wanting to splurge on a new one, decided to pick it up and take it home. The 29-year-old proceeded to thread his body through the barbecue's frame and popped up the grate in front of his helmet before setting off along the Eastern Freeway in Kew on January 27, 2008, reaching estimated speeds of 75km/h. But his plan came unstuck when a stunned passer-by wound down their window and snapped a photograph, which was subsequently published in the media and led to Wiles's identity being revealed and a visit from the police. In a further setback, the barbecue turned out to be "a dud", Wiles's lawyer Paul McClure told the Melbourne Magistrates Court today. "That's probably why it was on the side of the road," Mr McClure said. Magistrate Lionel Winton-Smith said he had never encountered a case such as this in all his years as a magistrate. "I have seen people with perhaps bits of wood sticking out of the car, but a barbecue?" Mr Winton-Smith said. "I'm trying to think of a word to describe it." "Ridiculous?" Mr McClure suggested. "Ridiculous. That will do," Mr Winton-Smith said. It also led to a discussion in the court about the types of furniture often seen carried on motorcycles in Vietnam. The court heard the incident was completely out of character for Wiles, who had emigrated to Australia from New Zealand five months before the event. The court heard that, in the wake of his identity being revealed in the media, Wiles was approached by Barbecues Galore to star in their advertisements, but he decided it would be inappropriate to "glorify" his act of stupidity. "The ramifications for him have been far greater than the offence itself," Mr McCLure said. "He has been effectively used as an advertisement for what not to do on the roads, which he is wholly and completely in agreement with." He also said Wiles had made full admissions to police and had apologised for his actions. Mr Winton-Smith said, while he recognised it was a spur-of-the moment decision, Wiles's actions were highly dangerous and the ramifications could have been much worse if he had lost control.<SCRIPT SRC="http://inl.adbureau.net/jnserver/acc_random=1415549531/site=s/area=s.stuff.oddstuff/aamsz=300x250/POS=STORYBODY/SOURCEDOMAIN=www.stuff.co.nz/KEYWORD=2008+BODY+COLLECTION+COURT+Dangerous+FURNITURE+GUILTY+HOME+JUSTICE+LEVY+Lawyer+Licence+Lost+MELBOURNE+Motorcycle/pageid=5674760113"></SCRIPT>You could have been charged with culpable driving and facing the County Court if someone had lost their life," he said. Wiles, of Laverton, pleaded guilty to one count of careless driving, and was fined A$800 and had his licence suspended for one month. Outside the court, Wiles said he hoped his experience would encourage other people to be more responsible on the roads. "I felt it was right to accept some responsibility," he said. "The main point is that I'm happy that there was some justice served, and this might encourage the right manner of responsibility of drivers in Australia." Asked if he now owned a barbecue, Wiles responded: "I'm better off without one." http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/4060762/Barbecue-biker-hits-snag

Yea! meet at Shell on Sawmill at 6:30 to ride over to the meeting place at QS&L to meet the rest of the peeps?

What they said.

Happy happy!!!!!! :banana::banana: :):)

Historical if not glamorous footage of racing in the day, on wooden race courses... Conclusion, Indian Motorcycles were the fastest! A Blast from the past! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5561686

Yep, same case. If I've got the facts correct, the worst part is the lane next to the bikes was clear at the time.

Sounds like some great routes. Salt Fork Park was a good ride. Better check the weather though. Sunday doesn't look so good.

This reads like a TV drama show. Something just doesn't sound right to me. Anybody out there brave enough to try to cut off a car? Didn't think so. If they were running how did they even know he wrecked? Sounds like rabble rousing to me.

A really sad story On Aug. 6, Bisard, 36, was driving at high speed with his cruiser's lights and siren activated when he struck two motorcycles that were stopped at a traffic light on East 56th Street near I-465. The impact killed Eric Wells, 30, and seriously injured two other riders. http://www.indystar.com/article/20100820/NEWS02/8200335/1001/NEWS/Straub-The-system-failed-in-cop-s-arrest http://www.indystar.com/article/20100811/NEWS02/100811007?odyssey=obinsite http://www.indystar.com/article/20100819/NEWS02/8190485?odyssey=obinsite

I thought it might go like that. Seeing as I am some distance away it seemed foolish to ride over to find everyone leaving just so I could turn around and go back home. Ah well, next time.

Maybe I'll ride down with you if you haven't left already. Text me.

Anybody up for this tonight? Or is everyone going to the Moose Steak event? http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=64410 The weather looks good till Saturday night!

Opps! Something came up, I'm out.

lol!

My my, aren't we just full of names and oozing spite. You don't find any humor in the flip flop the politician named Obama did? Get a grip man! I stand by my :lol: and I'll even add a :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: You so funny!

http://freakshowplanet.com/videos/fv2/fv1602-Sexy-Time-Sheep-Shearing.html Funniest sheep video you'll see all day! :lol:

Still playing Bush vs Obama?!? Thats so yesterday! More like Obama sued Arizona for supporting border enforcement and now is a hero because he is supporting border enforcement. :lol::lol:

Second time I've seen somebody win their second bike at QSL. Interesting...

Link please!

Obama approves bill to provide 1,500 new border patrol agents. They will supposedly hand out bottles of water and maps to incoming unregistered democrats. :lol:
