Gn250 or Gb400?

[GN1NiteStnd]

Hey guys,
How bad is the fine for riding a 400 on your restricted?
Cause my clutch is on its way out and it would cost more than the worth of the bike to fix it.
So instead of buying another 250 to last me until my full, i thought i could buy something a tiny bit more powerful. Like a GB400?
(Im getting my restricted in September if that makes a difference.)



So what do I do?? :scratch:

[crazylittleshit]

My last fine was $600 WASN'T happy.......... :oi-grr:
But that didn't stop me :rofl: It's all in not getting stopped.
Managed to get away with it for 2 years one fine.

i think you'll find the 400 so much easier to ride. as in less gear changing. what usually happens i people stay on their learners for years till they buy a bigger bike... then they have to borrow a 250 to do thier liscence. i dont think your looking at more than $400fine if they do stop you. just dont get stopped ay. ;) take it easy on the roads.

Got pulled over on a CBR600 while on my learners. Cop had chased me along most of beach rd on the shore as I was scratching it around most courners. :whistle: Didn't even know he was behind me until Takapuna. Only got a warning.

That was many a year ago. Todays coppers have gotten way more serious.

Assuming your GN would pass a WOF it's worth a minimum of $800

I'll bet a hat full of farty beaver arseholes you could sort your cluch for way less than that!

Naturally, if you don't want to do that I'll come and take that pile of GN crap off your hands! hell, you seem like a good sort, I won't even charge you much!

Get the GB. I rode a 600 on my restricted and never got pulled. I got my full right on time though because about 2 days later the cops pulled me over for a random licence check. :devil2:

I personally think that GB's have heaps more character too. They probably handle better.

For breaching the condition of your licence - I believe $400 is the going rate. Repairing a clutch on a GN250 - Probably around $300.

Your call. :no:

HHHIIIISSSSSSSSS?
Im not a his

Im a hers.

[inlinefour]

I'd stick to the 250 until obtaining my full. Pretty much what I did. It aint worth the hassle I reckon. :nono:

[GN1NiteStnd]

yeah I think that I will just ride around on the GN till it runs out of steam or I get my full licence then buy a new bike.

If I can afford it though I'll buy the GB while I have my restricted so I can choose between the GN and the GB. But the prob is the expense of keeping them both legal at the same time. But since my other half likes GBs so much he might go halfs in the legalty part if I let him use it, since he has already agreed to pay for the fine of me riding a 400 on my restricted if I'm pulled up for none other than a routine check.

[F5 Dave]

Good grief –he’s whipped! Pay for your fine? Sheesh.

Ok well here’s an idea, get him to stop being such a nancyboy & fix the clutch on the GN. Worse case; a set of friction plates, but if you pack a few sparkplug washers under the clutch springs & buff the plates gently on smooth concrete to remove any glazing, chances are it will go for a while yet.

[GN1NiteStnd]

Of course hes whipped thats how i like em! :devil2:

[F5 Dave]

Photos?

Arrgh Noooo, only kidding!!!!!

[froggyfrenchman]

I AM NT WHIPPED!!!!!

1stly... if shes ona 400 she'll go faster... less bordom 4 me when riding together.

2ndly... Theres nothing wrong with the clutch on said gn. Her idea of slipping clutch is when you cant engine break with clutch in.

3rdly... I was willing to pay fine coz the bike would be my responsibulty/problem and im the 1 pushing to sell gn

I am not wipped!!!!!! Im not, really! Honest. Imthe biggest cheuvinest i know!

From the LTSA website:

Penalties for breaking GDLS licence conditions

To encourage safe and responsible riding, riders breaking the conditions of their learner or restricted licence will face:

* a $400 infringement fine
* a 25 demerit point penalty

Hope this explains things

If he's French he probably is a cheuvanist so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Hehehehe! How many of you left your "L" plate on for your whole learners? Any hassles with out one? I ride the North-Western all the time and am doin 95-110k's all the way and probably look like an easy quota filler for any cop out.

By the way..
He acts like a cheuvanist around his mates. But with me hes whipped.
And! thats not why I though the clutch was on its way out frog! :weird:

Oh I have still got my L plate on my GN, But I dont always stick to 70, specially down the long straight roads to tech.

[froggyfrenchman]

yup, she CRANKED it out to 80 today
