Motorbike Hoon

Nemo. *sigh* A small orange and white striped fish who's adventured all the way to Australia should know all about hoons.

The term has become sort of respectable. In some states of Australia we have what the press and politicians refer to as 'anti hooning' laws. They allow police to confiscate vehicles used by hoons for hooning purposes. It's a great word and has been around for a while. In its more refined modern usage it refers to a particular class of dipstick that I, for one, have no interest in joining. They're the sort of people who think nothing of trashing thousands of dollars worth of tyre in a single spectacular burnout. They must be rich.

This bloke is apparently a classic: flaunting his stupidity in front of the police. He will probably emerge from his court hearing complaining about being treated unfairly.

Only about underwater hoons and bad pediatric dentists.

Thank goodness for anti hooning legislation!

I like the word and now use it constantly, mostly completely out of context but what matters is that it sounds cool.

Going hoonin'... Later

Ok, just do it responsibly!

Good one Ferret.

Nice, Ferret, nice.

Actually, and apropos other threads at the moment, it occurs to me that Pterodactyl's motto could well be "I'm a hoon with a Staintune."

No thanks mate, in the spirit of FD I will stick with my current signature.

Cute news reporter.

Has anyone seen a hooner on a CB1100?

Or is the wording, "Has anyone seen a CB1100 being hooned?"

I have actually. He had this awful custom painted ‘14 standard, I was cruising along home on mine when we crossed paths. Apparently he was going the same direction as I cause he merged right next to me, proceeded to do a painfully forced and poorly executed clutch up wheelie right next to me. He sped off and I followed him, not by choice but because he was going my exact route home. He then proceeded to literally jump the speed bumps on my neighborhood road, and just ride like the bike had an on/off switch for a throttle. This was very close to my house so the whole thing was very odd.

Someone please correct me if this fellow was not actually “hooning”, still not 100% sure of the definition.

dbarkdoll, he sounds exactly like a hoon to me. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hoon Read at least a couple of the definitions.

[dbarkdoll_imp]

Yes!! Do I get a point or something...? Gold star maybe..?

[Cormanus]

I know it's not quite the same thing, but I could give you a pointER: don't get caught hooning.

A hooner in the community? That is a drag for the sake of at least the children and elderly.

That also means there is a probability you'll cross paths again and maybe suggest pointing them to the de-hooner.

Interesting subtle difference of the meaning of "hoon" in the UK.

Hooning about means riding your bike in an exuberant way . It is not a negative term , it does not mean anti-social behaviour and only applies to bikers ( as far as I know as I'm not really into the car scene ).

Hooning might mean , for example, riding an offroad bike in a field.

I did see an article where the writer was able to wheelie it. That seems impressive.

Geez, 100 counts against that hoon. Whatever you think, he definitely has hooligan, or hoonigan stripes. Every other wild rider seems a bit pale next to his antics. And no license !

ooooooooo. 20+ posts means I can sell something according to admin.

If only I had something to sell !
