Mate she has to sit her FULL license on a 250cc.
So either stay with the same bike or go buy another 250cc.

Congratulations CaN2 on passing your restricted. Well done.

[The Stranger]

Technically you are correct.

But you try and tell her that she has to stay on a 250 for another 18 months.

I know where I will put my money.

[bugjuice]

oh, i read it as she had passed her restricted test thinking that it was the last test.. well yup, need to hand onto the 250 for a wee bit longer then..

[steved]

But you try and tell her that she has to stay on a 250 for another 18 months.

I know where I will put my money.In the government's hands? $400 and 25 demerits when caught. Could she do the passrite course to accelerate onto her full license?

[crashe]

Technically you are correct.

Insurance policy - Now someone can correct me here BUT......
She wont be able to insure the new bike as she doesnt have her FULL.
CaN, you could insure it under your name, BUT if she is riding it and she crashes the bike........ the insurance company won't pay out on it at all.

CaN2 is better off, staying with the bike until she passes her FULL license.

If she crashes the bike, then that is money down the drain.
Is it worth geting a $400 fine and 25 demerits points when the police stop her. Is she willing risk it?

[bugjuice]

you cannot insure something that is outside the conditions of your license. It's also not just the risk of a fine, or if you crash the bike, but it could be what you hit. Those Mercs are quite pricey you know..

[Scorpygirl]

Anyway (Crashe will back me up on this one) what's wrong with a Virago 250!!!! :ride: :spudflip: :clap:

[vfrboy]

Will have to ride yours next time up in Auck scorpygirl, reckon it'll lean as good as the VFR??? :Punk:

You would be most welcome VFRBoy!!! However we may have to adjust the handlebars as they are set for a little person at the mo!!! :rofl:

[vfrboy]

No worries, will certainly make sure tyres aren't squared off when finished with it!! :laugh:

[Scorpygirl]

Ever heard about deep, deep trouble VFRboy!!!! :rofl: :dodge:

[vfrboy]

There'd be nothing else done to it, still be immaculate just used as intended!! :woohoo:

[Zed]

Someone passed her restricted today. Yay!

Ok we now have a 2004 Yamaha XV250 (Virago) for sale.Please pass on my congrats! :clap:

Btw, is she a member on here yet? Considering she's done several KB rides (which is several more than a number of senior members) she should be! :D

[Scorpygirl]

There'd be nothing else done to it, still be immaculate just used as intended!! :woohoo:

OK - point taken VFRboy!!!! :ride: Just be careful as with the long rake you need a different line around a corner but it will go sweet!!! :devil2:

[vfrboy]

Do you reckon the 'pegs will scrape, the ones on mine are getting worn. Don't know how though.

[vfrboy]

I forgot, does it do good wheelies and stoppies??

:Punk: :motu: No comment!!!!

[Rhino]

I have scraped them when running it in. Suprisingly controlable, but obviously runs out of clearance earlier than your VFR would.

[Scorpygirl]

Do you reckon the 'pegs will scrape, the ones on mine are getting worn. Don't know how though.

:oi-grr: :nono:

[The Stranger]

Yeah I will put that to her.
Problem is she works in auto insurance.

(small plug)
She works for a company which specialise in insuring the uninsurables.
That, as you would expect costs, but they are often pretty competitive for the rest of us too

She doesn't think insurance will be a problem, but I will get her to look at it again.

[The Stranger]

Thank you Zed, I will.
No, no log on yet, well not to my knowledge, not so sure I want her too either.

[Sniper]

Pics of Virago?

[The Stranger]

Damn that sounds technical.

Ok, but prob not untill Sunday or Monday.

It's black and shiny though.

[Sniper]

Boot up your arse sounds technical too.

[The Stranger]

Ok now I am real concerned.

This is the second thread you make mention of putting something up my arse.

What is your obsession with my arse man.

[Sniper]

Can't be can it? I don't have an obsession with anyones arse. When you insult my posts, I insult yours, at least thats how I think. I was genuinly interested for the girlfriends sake who now wants a bike though, thats why I asked.

[Sniper]

I would like to say sorry CaN. I just jumped into insulting you too quickly without understanding what you meant.

Sorry mate, you are a good bloke in my book :) :niceone:

[trev]

Technically you are correct.

But you try and tell her that she has to stay on a 250 for another 18 months.


Bloody Hell !! Don't let her get anything faster or a sportsbike. She does 90k thru the 45k corners in the wet now. How are we going to keep up ??
pt

[Phenoix]

Saw the bike today, nice and shinny.
She was keeping he pace well.
Probably alot better ride then mine, I adjust the suspention a we bit to hard.
What price would you be looking at tho for it, I may know someone interested.

[R6_kid]

:woohoo: GOOD ON YA CHRISTINE!!! :woohoo:

Get yourself on a zxr or cbr and you can come tear up the road with the 250 'boy racer' pack! Im sure you've got it in you, you werent far behind over the coromandel on that virago.

As for the question about it being able to scrape the pegs, from memory there was really happy girl on the coromandel ride going on about scraping the peg... not sure who it was tho :whistle:

[R6_kid]

oh yeh and btw when is she going to get her own alias on this place. Being refered to as CaN2 must get a bit annoyin... just my $0.02

Where is a male medic to help this dude out....??????????????
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry all female medics are out doing more important things...

[The Stranger]

Damn I just knew someone would ask the price.

I don't know.
Would like to invite suggestions as to price.
Let me qualify that, sensible suggestions.

I think they are $6,995.00 new
It is 12 months old in the 18th of sept 05
It has done about 8,000 km had a couple of minor drops, none at speed though and has scraped footpegs.
It has had all services as per manual, assuming the dealers did it right, so still has 12 months of warranty.
I think that is the pertinent info.

[Phenoix]

Cool.
I'll ask around some of my mates,
One or two are wanting decent bikes.
I'll PM you if the're interested

[Waylander]

I know the perfect bike for her to upgrade (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=16752) to, hehehehehe...

errrrr no.. wrong style me thinks.. plus, it's not a 250cc engine..

[Waylander]

errrrr no.. wrong style me thinks.. plus, it's not a 250cc engine..
Wrong style... HA!! How is it any different than the current one lol. It can sit in the gargre sith her riding it everynow and then around the block till she gets her full. Possibly even keep the XV250 till the time comes.:ride:

Yeah, but mate the current one may have been the only 250 for sale in the country at the time, now she's 'almost' got a choice she can get a proper bike, not some nancy pamby yamaha cruiser :motu: .

:rofl:

wel watching how she was riding today, and a wee bit of a chat, the tourer/cruiser isn't the style for a racey chick ;)
not gonna say anymore, cos I'm sure she can talk for herself (as quiet as she is).. may be a cibber 2fidy would be a good choice

Looks better than your bike. And takes more balls to ride a Jap cruiser in a world of Harley punk gangs than some patchy CBR.:nono::wait:

Patches? Those are dueling scars my little friend. "takes more balls to ride a Jap cruise in a world of Harley punk gangs...", balls is one word for it, complete lack of taste is how I would have put it.

Anyway, did you get you new tank yet?

Common, don't be like that, when someone (aka waylander) puts up a pisstake post, you've gotta take the piss outta him
:Pokey: .

However, right you are, congrates Can2 :drinknsin , now you can feel what 100k's feels like - as I'm sure you've never exceeded the 70K limit :scooter:

Battle scars, heh need more than just dropping it on your driveway to claim them as battle scars.:devil2:

Anyway yea got the tank now just need money for paint to paint it.


Anyway yea CanCan, get what bike you feel most comfortable with and ignore jerks like me who promote there bike as much as possible because they love it so much. (funny how I PT so many GSXR riders for that very reason.:dodge:)

[Lias]

Grats Can2.. Feels damn good dont it?

If your in the market for a new 250, I'll trade you for my GN :rofl:

[loosebruce]

She works for a company which specialise in insuring the uninsurables.


People like me then, whats the number?

Well done Christine, you must be stoked indeed.

CaN is she looking at going to a bigger bike or a more sports orientated bike thats still a 250cc, for whats it's worth i was most impressed with her riding she was doing very well and i dont think that a slightly bigger cc bike will hinder her too much, but i think she'll be stoked even on the likes of a ZXR250 and the likes, if she wants to take my one (the ZXR that is) out for a blat to see what its like, let me know, the ZXR will have a lot more poke than the Virago and be a good introduction to sports bikes as she already got the basics down pat. A good step to take before going to bigger cc's.

Again on ya Christine for passing, now do Defensive driving course and knock some time off till ya get ya full.

[R6_kid]

correct me if im wrong but she'd tried a 250 ninja hasnt she? Im sure she'd be good on something bigger tho. Would love to see the look on a boy racers face when SHE winks at him after whippin his ass off the line :rofl:

"oh the pain, not only a bike, but a girl too... mummy help me"

**edit**
to be honest bruce i think shes the female equivalent of you in the making!!!

[speights_bud]

Congrats!.
Going out for my learners theory this afternoon, woulda done it on the weekend but it turns out the AA closed sat & sun :weird:

I'm sure her dad hopes she not.................

[gromit]

Congrats on the pass. I myself have had to re-buy a 250 after just missing out on the old law a few years back, where all you had to do was pay your dosh for the full license. Sigh.
Ive been riding bigger bikes for ages on my restricted and thought I should finally take the plunge and do it legal... So I figured a trailee was more intersting on the road as a 250. Glad I went that way... what a hoot.

Hang onto the 250 I say. The national licensing lady told me there was a huge influx of people now getting their licenses as a result of the petrol prices. She said she was even looking at getting hers! Whether that good or not is debatable... But general awareness cant be bad. It should also mean that your 250 may be worth more in a few months time...
