No need to use the excuse if pulled over saying it is a 250 bike oficer I'm maybe dislexic,keep getting me numerals mixed up.:Punk:
Sounds silly at the time I got my full when 17 or so,but the cop said never stop learning the road,and watch out for all vehicles.Bloody good info then and now.
Now you can legally go 100km,anyone running a sweep on first ticket for excedding 100km.:scooter:

Nah, looking toward a ride to Gizzy sometime soon though, would you be interested in that at all? Was thinking easter weekend but I dunno, could be a bit busy on the main drags during that weekend...

Yeah but you have to do it without looking if you're a copper!
Congrats Chanceyy. Didn't realise you weren't fully entitled to all your cubes.
I must confess I got my Ducati a week before I sat my full and borrowed Chisanga's 250 for the test.

easter is a bad time .. and I hear a certain lassie may be having birfday drinkies of which i am sure to partake in .. a trip to gissy could be a goer but depends on work schedling etc

Thanks Jim .. its a really nice feeling to have that outta the way I must admit

The relief factor when passing cops has gone(except speed lol),seems a lot of people ride over capacity bikes whilst restricted,so maybe a look at regs by ltsa is required.Seems a few 400-600cc bikes have less power than the racetype 250 ones,back when the your bike was new was the same scenario.
The joys of finding a newer bike or car(yeah right),very time consuming,but rewarding when a bike is found.Sounds like a minor road trip to search the bike shops is on the go.

Hehe just don't drop em if testing private ones lol,the guy I bought my bike off said no probs for test ride,his wife was nervous,seems a guy took their 4x4quad down the road,ran into an uninsured driver,was a severely damaged quad in their garage,not sure the outcome,but for me he did say crash it ya own it.
The local naki shops have a good selection at the mo if your keen to do a Friday and Saturday looksie,they all close around 1pm on Saturday though,hence Friday suggestion.Not bad websites either.

12th March 2008, 20:23
hmm have a devious plan as suggested by a friend .. take several bikes out .. go to a section of road .. ride one come back jump on the next .. will feel the difference right away .. am thinking the track would be a nice testing ground ...
