Greetings
First post but have been lurking for some time and gain a lot from the serious posts as well as a lot of laughs from some of the others.
Rode in my teens, coming back to biking, (mid life stuff) have done the BHC about 2 months ago, on a GN250 with my knees around my ears, well almost, usual story just over 6ft and around 100kg, and still no bike.
I would prefer a cruiser style sitting more up right than bent over, I've looked at them all (legal wise) and the biggest is the Hysung, but can't quite bring myself to it.
I've basically been a law abiding person all my life, but the wife made a statement to-day that's really got me thinking, get a bigger bike 700cc shadow or Suzuki C50, ride it well and don't bring attention to yourself, you going to lose a grand or so when you sell the 250 and that equals 2 or 3 $400 fines.
My riding will be for pleasure only, work from home, but the problem is I'm in a small town just north of Whangarei with a local copper who rides, so he might be more observant of a bike regularly around, and he and I don't like each other, and I'm sure the prick would well like to nail me, and if he did, I'd be marked until I had my full license.
I do feel a shadow coming on, dark clothing full face helmet, and register the bike in my mates name, what do think.
