before I got my full I was on an exemption... my story... I said I had no other form of transport other than a motorbike... no public transport/was not financially benificial... I also said my 'learner legal' bike was not road worthy, and I had a bigger bike... I said i couldn't afford to fix the smaller bike, or buy a new one... and that I needed transport to get a job/go to my job...

sooooo.... best advice... buy a cheap shitter road legal big bike... and say your 250 is fucked... and that you need to ride to be able to support yourself...

good luck man

[Gremlin]

good god man... do a search :bleh: There is also more info hiding on the forum, that has been said.

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=610677&postcount=29 For me, it was my weight and size, the bike not being able to cope, even with the suspension stiffened as much as possible.

Basically, as per wording on DL4, you have to prove (words more or less) that "you are no less dangerous", and there is a need for it.

Link contains what I wrote, and I also took 6 pictures of bikes (1 was of my own) of varying capacities, and potential problems with each. For me, even the old model sv650 was too small.

Search (advanced search), read, you'll have all the answers you could need.

I think you'l find with your driving history Tex that they might give you a short sharp fuck off.

But give it a go, and then buy my 750.

Just be patient and do your time.

I already have, I just didnt get my restricted when I could have. I am also at the limits on my 250.

I am gonna paint my bike next week since my fairings have arrived and put it up for sale when I have made sure its mint and going to serve the next owner well. I figure I can get $3500 for it. I have enough money to buy something else I am just deciding what to buy. The only reason I really want the exemption is to be legal when riding to work.

Get some 250 stickers......:yes:

I guess the rego would give it away though.

Get your license sorted out then.

Oh sorry that's the right way and you wanted an easy way.

Sorry about that.

Cant tell you hang around mikey:dodge:

[Mental Trousers]

Sure you know already but you'll be uninsured without a full license.

It's actually the other way around. lol

I may be 'old' but I can still remember what I did when I was young.

If you don't have a pretty clean driving record then they will take your money and politly tell you to fuck off.

I cant get insurance any way.. Well I can buy I have to pay 50% of the insured sum per year.

[texmo]

I wrote out a bit of a speil last night gonna send it intoday I hope I get it as I have the cash to buy a new bike. it would be nice to have theift insurance and also since I am on 60 demerits its possible I could lose my licence riding to work.

Well get off the road then, dont want you any where near me.:shutup:

I am not near you im in auckland. I have been unlucky every crash I have had in a car or a bike has resulted in it being written off. I have only had one on a motorbike on the road and two in a car...

Three write offs? Stay on the 2fiddy.

[gamgee]

gotta agree, 60 demerits and 3 write offs you haven't got a shit show of getting an exemption, and I don't think you should either you'll probably kill yourself

[texmo]

I mean you guys are totaly right, 60 demerits fuck thats heaps man my 3 tickets wow!!!
Oh and yeah my rear wheel locking up mid corner, totaly my fault same with the asain pulling out infront of me and doing a runner. As for writing off a $1500 car, its not hard.

so your telling us, an asian did a runner on you, and you couldn't keep up?? jeez thats more than enough evidence to say you shouldn't be allowed an exemption :nono:

[RantyDave]

60 demerits fuck thats heaps man my 3 tickets wow!!!
Look, the question was - how do I (you) get an exemption? From which it can be implied that you have at least a passing interest in whether or not, in the opinion of the esteemed KB'ers, you have a shit show in hell of actually getting one.

The answer is no.

Now, if you really want to drag that off into "so, do you think I ride like a turd" then it's on your head. Personally, I'd shut up about it, do my time and be happy when it's over. But that's just me.

The cars radiator was pissing out gamgee, I dont care what you think rantydave all I was asking is how to get one. No im not gonna do my time, I am a very good rider better than you or anyone else who has posted in this thread, I meansure my skill in how well I can control a bike. I have been riding bikes for 8months, I went out a month and a half ago and raced in streetstock and came first in every race.

[gamgee]

your full of excuses aren't you, the sooner you realise that there is always something you could have done to avoid an accident, the sooner you will start learning from your mistakes, good luck with the exemption, i don't think you'll get it, but good luck with it anyway
on a sidenote i now own a 400 and a 250 but won't be applying for an exemption, i'll do my time (all 2 months i have remaining) then move onto the 400

[Karma]

there is always something you could have done to avoid an accident

That's taking it a bit far don't you think? Surely it's all about acceptable risks.

The best to avoid being in an accident is to not start the car in the first place and sit in your living room, but that's not an option for most of us.

You can't tell me you can predict, to a greater degree of accuracy, the actions that are going to be taken by those in the cars / bikes around you.

Well if you aint gonna do your time, what you gonna do then?
Buy a bigger bike with no insurance.... oh well that is your choice.
Nought anyone can do about that... but just dont crashing it or hitting into anyone else... cos you will get a huge bill.

Im really pleased that after 8 months of riding that you feel you are a great rider.
Gee I have been back riding almost seven years and still feel that I have more to learn... as everyday I get on the bike the road conditions change, the weather has a huge impact, that I take that into account everytime I get on my bike.

BTW I have meet you, you are no where near the the size of Gremlin....
So I would be thinking that no way would they give you an excemption as you do fit a 250 bike ok.

Congratulations on your wins at those races. well done.
But as you know racing is different to road riding.

[Karma]

you are no where near the the size of Gremlin....

Yeh, it'd take a fair few pies to get that big... best start eating now.

[DingDong]

8 months riding Texmo?... shit your doing well (I cant wheelie a scooter and Ive been out there 25+ years):scooter:

Tuck fhe licence, get your bigger bike and have fun... you only live once and your not getting any younger... just be sure you get older for us...

It's more fun to learn the hard way:yes: :rockon:

I dont have insurance any way, neither do the likes of gremlin ect... I cant afford it.
I feel I am a good rider better than most, I never said I dont have more to learn. I have a hell of a lot to learn, I read almost everyday on ways to improve my skills.
I am not applying for an exemption because of my size.

To be honest I am gonna take it real easy, One of the main reasons I wanna get a 600 now is because I have to decide if I wanna take my racing to the next step, f2. If I do then I need to get some experiance of a 600.
Dont worry dude I wont die im bullet proof:dodge:

[gamgee]

if you can't afford third party insurance, how do you afford to put petrol in the tank?? for you it'd probably be about $50 for me it's about $20 but i've got full cover which cost $240

[texmo]

My insurance is about $1500 a year. for a bike that is worth $3.5k I dont see how that is feesable. And why would I want third party?

[RantyDave]

why would I want third party?
For when you put your $3.5k bike into the side of a $150k BMW while lane splitting. But hey, you want to leave hospital to sign the bankruptcy paperwork, that's up to you. I'm just a boring old fart, obviously.

Leave the guy alone for fuck sake, it is his problem if he is involved in an accident and I'm sure he is intelligent enough to be aware of the basic consequences of being involved in an accident as he has already been in a few.

[Karma]

Yeh true.

On a more positive note... I found it works out cheaper to include bike insurance with other policys and get a discount.

IE. Contents + Car + Bike means they're cheaper than individually..

I think protecta wanted like $550 for a years fully comp on it's own, but combined it with the others with another company and it's down to $350 fully comp.

Worth looking into.

I am not applying for an exemption because of my size.

In order that people can give you valuable feedback could you please advise what you would base your application for excemption on?

I had toyed with the idea of applying for excemption but hey - it's only 9 months from BHS to full licence anyway and I'm halfway there already - I would base it on size coz VTR is too small for me.
