speeding is bad!
might sell the kwaka and buy something more suitable for the road, like a honda.



I knew you would come around and finally see what a gay ole' time there is to had on a Honda...:hug:

[cowboyz]

can i borrow you bike? surely you dont need a licence for that thing?

[ynot slow]

Points count from time of offence,not when paid.I thought I'd check my points to see when they expired,was told May and Oct this year.They expire 2 years after offence not when paid.

They will usually send bailiff or cop to pick up your license,well they did when Janine lost hers 2 years ago,but can't remember if the 3 months is from when they take the license or at ticket time.They need a warrant to remove your license was what bailiff told us,hence the delay to take it rather than when cop does his coms check.

Have a looksie at LTSA website,or phone the licensing dept of police.

Bugger.Three months goes quick after first month,first one draaaaggggs.

There are a few other things as well. If you get 100 or more points in ANY 2 year period they dont drop off.
Yes you can delay it abit by waiting till the last day to pay ticket but they are calculated from offence date. Its 3 month suspension.

We run a report once a week, if you are over then we print the suspension letter, it goes to Auckland to Baycorp as we use their serving officers. Then back down to serving agent here for the person to be served.

They are required to take your licence from you. If they can't find you after trying 3 times,then it comes back to us and a Person of Interest flag goes onto your licence. Only at this stage if a cop pulls you up can they serve you roadside.

As I mentioned to Cowboyz last night it can take at least a month to be served once tickets have been paid, especially as he can delayed for next 2 months before paying.

I have my full, in the pouring rain IMA:2thumbsup:beer:

FMS great news Flynn


i near run out.. thanks for the offer.

and yep.. waiting for the summons now.. 145 points.............. bad bad bad.. right at the start of the summer! I knew I should have stayed home today


oh the upside. with however slow the process is, i technically still got my licence for the GC in 3 weeks (I hope)

.

Cool so many people(me included)get different scenarios from this,i.e if you have 90 points,get another 40(130) in say 18months,you walk for 3 months,but upon getting license back start on 30 points,and these stay till 2 years are up from time of ticket.

$69 a bearing. That's how much an offcial Honda steering head bearing(as in per bearing!) costs! :blink: So according to the parts guy at AFC and decided to get a complete aftermarket kit for $79 instead.

So now I have a kit on order and will look at booking in some time this week to get the bearings done. But before I got to AFC I noticed my bikes steering was terrible, as I inspected bike I noticed my back tyre was flat! I thought "fuck me! what did I run over?"

So now I will have both bearings and a puncture repair done together to keep costs down.

So how's has everyone elses day been? :sunny:

Guttless though, only had 117kw many years ago. The main problem apart from rust around the boot and windscreen was if the wrong oil is used [other than the specified/recommended oil by toyota] they tended to run bearings. I would own one though, almost did once.

yeh thats currently the proposal, though there is a BRONZ meeting tonight in auckland so should be news on that tomorow

[ynot slow]

Apparently BRONZ not keen on using them as may alienate the public,so might have to be kiwibikers,which are not a heavy weight group per say.With BRONZ behind,the protest would at least give a national club identity.

Hey RoadKing .. i LOVE it ... hehe I would buy that one!!

Hey Nasty, Hope your getting good milage out of that Dompost article, I was disgusted. :mad:

Power to you girl.

I spent 5 years as a volunteer fire fighter and the article reminded me of some of the weird and off beat places that we were sent to for accidents that were miles out. I remember going into the Manawatu Gorge looking for an accident one day and it was on the Aokautere road and our pagers had come up with a weird place name which no one knew where it was. Took us 30mins to find but luckily no one was seriously injured.

All that I can say is I hope they take serious note of what happened and no one else has to go thru what you've experienced.

[chanceyy]

hmm both Dom post & tv1 were at the inquest today, Coroner did a fantastic job & really drilled down to the errors that occurred & why.

She has sent St John back to find out several more bits of info, before she delivers her findings, but she has prepared them that the findings may be scathing to several parties and they need to be prepared for that

As the police prosecutor told us (while Kari was being interviewed) if she had not persued this, or been knowledgeable about several discrepancies then this could have easily been swept under the carpet, ... as it is Brett's death will not be in vane

the findings will be released in several weeks time, the coroner apologised to Kari as its almost the 1st anniversary and she was aware how upsetting it can be, she also showed amazing compassion (along with the police) and it was not as clinical as I was expecting

[Flynn]

GOOD

As you could imaging in my job we deal with these coroners all the time and I must say they are real down to earth people, both Carla and Tim Scott the other coroner.

As I said all power to Nasty.






Just ordered my protest shirt, now just need a bike to show it off on:crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

Awesome Bogan, I will print a few out and get them out there.

I finally got confirmation from work that I can participate as an individual on this ride.
Thought it might have been a conflict of interest, since we collect the levy for ACC thru rego.
But boss has said it is fine for me to attend, so just need to get leave approved now.

Be a bugger if leave not approved.Mind you suppose it's no different from any National party electorate worker with a bike as well,just because his boss and henchmen stuff up policies,doesn't mean the peasants who work agree with them.

I have the job of organising acommodation for the protest ride that is happening in Wellington on November 17th. The plan at this stage is to start in Auckland on 16th November (Monday) and stay overnight in Palmerston North on Monday night. Now, here comes the favour.

I ventured into Anza yesterday,had a decent look at the bonnys,but for me the triple is bloody nice.Always liked the RS/ST models with part/full fairing,now I'm liking the twin light on triple.Ideal to have a lotto win and triple would be bought.

I guess that's a compliment :laugh: Now here's something that may interest you. Rumour has it there will be a large shipment of brand new Buells in soon, at quite a decent price, hmmmmmmmm

Defineatly a compliment,..... yes my ears are pricked!!

Ivan at ANZA told me a little bit, but he said you know what rumours are like, Hey I hope it is true, He rang Harley for me and he said they were tight lipped:oi-grr:

Put a fist-sized sticker on the back of your helmet. One that contrasts with the helmet colour. Then pretend you don't have mirrors and look over your shoulder instead. The sticker will make your head checks more obvious. The tester dude will give you big ups for lookout. Oh, and no wheelies :nono:

Quite like duck really. I love duck, done good in a honey soy or garlic and soy bean sauce!
hmmmm no wheelies (easy enough i dont have the heart to thrash the clutch) Fair enough, but, it's easy to accidentally drop the clutch while on the limiter
