Bike license poll

[Danboy]

Just wanting some annonymous stats for interest's sake regarding our current licensing habits.
This is not public, so no names will be shown and even I won't know. So all you nawty people are safe. ;)
Just thought it might be interesting to know.

D. :Devil2:

NOTE: Just so there's no confusion..."250cc and more" means anything over 250cc, therefore not legal for learners/restricted. "250cc and less" includes 250cc and anything under that.
It seems I didn't quite word it clearly enough. ;)

You're collecting statistical information for LTNZ and the Police, aren't you?

[Swoop]

A poll on "rego + WOF" might be entertaining.

Hehe, indeed it would. That could be my next one I reckon. :)

[NOMIS]

[Rockbuddy]

Would'nt want my name attached to this poll :whistle:

[LittleAngel]

On the last day of the March Hare, a friend and myself were having breakfast by the mess hall. There was 30 people there at a guess all quietly suffering over breakfast :sick: when this guy came up and asked really loudly "who has their full bike license here"?

I was a little shocked to find that it was only myself and one other that put their hand up :gob:(and yes everyone had heard). One guy in the back said "whats a license?!?" and "Who needs them". Admittedly it was funny! :rofl:

Probably only months before I was riding a 750 on a restricted license! :shutup:

[McJim]

I like the way no-one has voted for option 4.."if I'm gonna ride a bike with no motorcycle licence at all it's not gonna be a piddly wee two fiddy is it?":rofl:

Haha, my thoughts exactly. Kinda like, "If I'm gonna get myself in the shit, I may as well do it properly. :D lmao

[Choco]

Got myself a clean 1R and 6R license and a Honda Hornet 250.
When is this Reg/Wof poll starting :shifty:

[alanzs]

We don't need no stinking licence...

[McJim]

We don't need no stinking licence...

Yeah, just a Blazing Saddle will do! :rofl:

Looking at the poll so far it looks as though we old farts with full licences are in the majority after all. Bikers aren't as rebellious as all that

[Hinny]

He is sorting us out, flat out.

[wickle]

or who started riding without a license
got mine eight years after I started riding

[DougB]

I have had a full licence for sixty years. Back in the 50's we just had to ride up and down the road in frount of a traffic cop and he gave us a licence. Them were the days. Never had a helmet for many years. Army greatcoats and newspaper stuffed under the shirt, to keep out the cold, was our riding gear.

Only one bike available then would go over 100mph. (160KPH) a Vincent Rapide. I had the first model with rear springing a 1950 AJS. Learnt to ride on a 1937 Harley. If you could handle that everything else was easy.

[Gremlin]

I selected option 1, but that will only technically be correct on Monday morning when I walk into AA to get my license back :whistle:

Least I can also claim I am demerit free :2thumbsup

[mctshirt]

I got my licence back in the days they came in the Weet-Bix packet :niceone:

[alanzs]

Yeah, just a Blazing Saddle will do! :rofl:

I betcha most people here, except us old farts have no idea where that "We don't need no stinking licences (badges)" quote comes from.


Riding with out a licence? Are you kidding, my wife would kill me! :shit:

[roadracingoldfart]

I was riding for about 8 months without , i got a ticket to produce a licence in 7 days on a Sunday and sat for and passed (thank heavens) my licence on the following Thursday and produced it at a diff station on the Friday , Sweet lol.

I loved the pre computor days lol.

I've been proven wrong. Just restored my faith in the yung 'uns!
Ok, question number two: who made a cameo appearance in the movie the quote came from and what was the importance of the said person to the movie?
Definite points for this one... (really pretty easy if you know much about the flick)
:woohoo:

The director John Huston. Humphrey Bogart actually directed that scene where he's being harrassed for money by the main characters. ;)

Do you need the correct license to buy from a dealership??

[Danboy]

Do you need the correct license to buy from a dealership??

Nope. As long as you aren't trying to get finance or insurance(they require the correct license to be covered) or want a test ride(bike shop has insurance and you'd need a license to be covered), they're under no obligation to check your license. lol.
If you have cash up front however, the bike's yours. :) Who knows, you could be buying it as a present for a family member, or if it's a 250cc or lower you might just be getting it to learn on. *wink wink nudge nudge* ;)

P.S. And yes I had no license and rode a bike in the past. The above answer is from experience with buying from shops. :spanking::Oops:
