[neels]

uh.....lots?

Sounds expensive, although just under 40k over the limit means no instant loss of licence?

Hypothetically speaking.

[DrunkenMistake]

Your looking at a load of demerits and a dirty big fine,

I think its 400 for incorrect license or exceeding license limits e.g: riding a 600 on a learners or whatever,

then its what another 400 for no rego and wof?

and a fat ass fine for the speeding haha

I could be wrong though I really cant remember

[Big Dave]

An Arrow exhaust's worth.

[Headbanger]

The fine was large enough that when I got it in the mail I went out, then rang home to inform the wife.:lol:

I'm such a fuckin pussy.

Muhahahaha

Anyhow

Speeding $400
Wrong class of license $400
Failing to display evidence of inspection $200
50 demerit points

And $200 to put my expired rego on hold.

Roll on summer:banana::banana::banana:

[jaffaonajappa]

Depends how your ....umm...friend?...handled the cops.

I had almost exactly the same happen to me - me friends friends cousin i mean.

An 1100cc bike, rego expired but warrant ok. Learners bike (but full car and HT) licence. Speeding 138, not indicating, on the motorway. Paid the incorrect licence fee / rego'd it (28 day standown on Full fines), and coped a warning about the rest.

Not talking about a lippy 18 year old here tho.

And the cop was a one-off freak.....like, more human that bacon.

[Headbanger]

uh...I mean that's what my friend did.

the night of 17th of july 2003, at 2,30 in the morning, ... eh... a close friend of mine... ya... has been caught by police at 106 kmh in a 50 speed limit zone.

1 month of forced marathon exercises, 750 euros (around 1500 nz$) the fine, permanent record on the license...

it was a very lucky day, anyway, cause he wasn't breath tested... :whistle:

so relax, it doesn't seem a huge trouble...

[Crasherfromwayback]

uh...I mean that's what my friend did.

Tell your 'friend' I'll happily lend them a 250 so they can actually pull finger and get their licence!

[ac3_snow]

Wrong class of license $400


I thought it had changed to only $100 for breach of license conditions? Pretty sure I read about it on KB so it must be true!!

[ducatilover]

Challenge the ticket in court for speeding, if he got a reading of 147k and gave you a 137k ticket, ask for them to present the proof of you doing 137k.

I know someone who has managed this, they got off the ticket due to no evidence of them doing the speed on the ticket.

[Edbear]

Glad you're so cheerful about it. Many would claim they were unfairly targetted and didn't deserve to be caught like that. So obviously you accept that, (your friend), did the crime and must pay the fine.

Most unlike KB...

[Gremlin]

Tell your friend to remember that you only pick up the largest instance of demerits when copping a fine on multiple points.

[oneofsix]

ouch! that sounds like a lot of trouble for a man to be in. No WOF because of broken headlight and you didn't pick one up for not displaying your headlight whilst riding, guess he had enough already.
147 but pinged for 137, that will be the speedo error at a guess.

Could have been worse - your your friend's rear tyre could have been down to the steel belt. :whistle:

We resorted to blaming each other already?

Its not our fault ACC are broke, nor is our fault we are paying this fcuking stupid cost to register our bikes....although its arguable we could have made moves earlier to prevent the price increases.

[wtf?]

No, I'm not blaming him for the cost of ACC premiums. I'm sayin its pretty bloody selfish to try to "opt out" and still expect health cover etc to be available if he wants it. Someones gotta pay and if he wants some of the benefits of living in a society, he should man up and share some of the costs of doing so.

And no, I dont think the ACC levy on bikers is a fair cop.

[Headbanger]

Personally I think cops should be directed to run down anyone who does a runner. You play the game you pay the price.

I got pinged for failing display evidence of inspection, This wasn't on display because I don't have one.

The 2nd set of tires in 6 months meant the wife needed to save some money for us...


"Look how much money I saved on these boots, and they'll last more than 6 months" - mainly due to her wearing them only once.

I'm wondering how much money she'll "save" when I tell her the bike needs new brake pads and chain/sprockets for the upcoming service.

not having a licence at all negates some of the issues, e.g, no bike license on a thou = fine for operating a vehicle without the correct licence,as opposed to say
a rider with their L, on a thou = fine for bike to big for licence, fine for no L plates, fine for exceeding 70km/hr Learner speed limit, and depending ontime of day(eg after 10pm) a fine for riding outside learner hours (breach licence conditions.)

when you look at it like that, it isnt a huge surprise that some just say fuckit,and dont bother with the licence at all.

four hundee, or it was.
fair to say that financially speaking, your better off with no bike licence, than a 6L or 6R, and being outside a couple conditions. Of course after getting caught the first time, youre marked. flip side is dont be a cunt, pick your playtimes wisely, and youll never get pulled over.

[davebullet]

What I hadn't realised is in a temporary restriction zone - the lose your license limit increases by 10kph. For example. A 100kph zone is restricted to 70kph. You lose your licence at 120kph+.

Whatever happens at the time NEVER do a runner. I'd always choose $1,000+ in fines over death or maming someone else.

We all do really stupid things on the road......... Sometimes....

Most of us get away with them, but occasionally we do get caught.

So:

Hard luck on getting caught.

Great to hear you (on behalf of your friend) reporting a more grown up Cop than most. Clearly it was just your speed that was the problem and not how you (your friend) were riding, or you (he/she) wouldn't have a licence anymore.

Looks like you (he/she) got away with this potentially show-stopping stunt. Most can't afford a 50 demerit point hit and still have a licence afterwards. The fines are cheap compared with the alternatives.

Glad to hear it was worth it and you or he or she won't have to risk the same again :2thumbsup

I've been looking for a non-Triumph replacement for months, Seems Google led me astray:mad:

All Ive been able to identify as replacement was some wanky aftermarket shit that costs a bomb.

I even went down to a local bike shop, removed the headlight in front of them and asked if I could get anything on the market to replace it, was told no...

There is a cheaper variant "1055", but they're only $5 less and I'm not sure about park light fitment. I purchased mine from Autokraft in Tremaine Ave, Palmy.

Looks identical to mine, so shouldn't be a problem.

Couple of other points: The parks lights in the Hella's are offset to the right and the glass protrudes slightly further than OEM. If that doesn't bother you, you'll be sweet!
