    Default Hey all

    Hi
    I recently purchased a Rs se5 for my wife. She is still getting used to riding it as she hasn't ridden anything in the last 25 years.
    I ride a m109 and I must say taking the spyder out for a hoon is a hell of a lot of fun!!!!!

    I'm in south coast Nsw Australia

    Welcome! I am also a former M109R owner. I owned an 06 and an 07. Logged 20k miles on each, and loved them. I will either own another M109, or a 2nd. gen. vmax, but the spyder will still be staying. Atleast the spyder is something that the wife and I can enjoy together. She would never ride 2 wheels with me.

    My wife loves to ride on the back as do my daughters.
    She has a full licence but has only ever ridden a scooter and was weary of getting 2 wheels of her own so I suggested the spyder

    OH, Welcome to SpyderLovers.
    Hoon is a term used in Australia and New Zealand, to refer to anyone who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviours. In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives a car or boat in a manner which is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, i.e. too fast, too noisily or too dangerously. In New Zealand, the term "boy racer" is also widely used. Another slang term, revhead—derived from "rev", short for revolutions per minute—is sometimes used in place of hoon. "Anti-hoon laws", while they generally concern road vehicles, sometimes also target anti-social behaviour in motor boats.
    Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching tires.[1] Those commonly identified as being involved in "hooning" or street racing are young and predominantly male, although increasingly female, drivers in the age range of 17 and 35 years.[2]
    Hoon control laws are beginning to be extended to dangerous and annoying hoon behaviour using boats and other vessels, particularly jet skis. The State of Victoria, Australia passed legislation in late 2009 to control hoon activities using recreational vessels

    It sounds as if "Hoon", and "Hooligan" are a set of twins...
