Restrictions on bikes similar to firearms

[Mr Merde]

Lately it has come to my attention that there is a growing number of motorcycle related accidents.

I took it upon myself to make a few suggestions to LTNZ as to methoids which could alleviate some of these accidents or at least lessen the impact upon the general public who, on the whole, dont really like tose noisy machines anyway.

So below are my reccomendations.

I needed a benchmark so I based the suggestions upon that other dangerous object, firearms, andf the restictions placed upon them.
=================
1) motorbikes should be governed to a top speed of say 150kph and a 0-100 of 15 seconds.

2) as part of the licence the potential owner should have to provide a garage to keep the bike in when not in use so as to deter thefts

3)UMMMM FULL GEAR AT ALL TIMES, HIGH VIS VESTS ETC
fficeffice" />>>
4) FLASHING LEDS

5) MUST ATTEND SAFETY REFRESHER COURSES EVERY 6 MONTHS

6) 3 YEAR LICENCE with a 123.75 cost of renewal

7) Strict rules on where and when you can operate a motorcycle.

8) Restricted classes of motorcycles with corresponding restrictions upon their security.

9) Bikes you can own but are not allowed to ride.

10) Minimum wheelbase restriction.

11) No drop bars as they may be construed as “racing equipment” unless you have a special racing licence that they can charge you another $200 for. Again strict security restrictions on where you can us this and security.

12) Restrictions on fuel tank size. No more than 10 litres unless you upgrade to the "racing licence" and satify the criteria for that class.

Feel free to add any other restrictions you think may be suitable.

What about, only square wheels allowed for the first 10,000kms, or one year, depending which one comes first.

After that, graduating to octogon wheels! (edit: unless you get a speeding ticket, then you go to triangle wheels, and 10,000km to be completed on them..)

edit again: Nah that will be negated by the latest ohlins shocks..

Yeah nice troll.

[Swoop]

Surely a "vital part" will have to be removed when the bike is in storage??? Thieves have to be deterred somehow.

[hayd3n]

LTNZ

What a fuckwit - LTNZ is long gone,it's been New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) for some time now.The important part of a troll is to make it look real....and you fuck up on the basics! Duh.

The rider must prove that he is a suitable person to hold and use a motorcycle. The rider must provide suitable references from 4 people, two must be imeadiate family (mother or wife) and two must must hold a full motorcycle license for more than 5 years.

The police can confiscate both license and motorcycle at their discretion, and the rider has to apply to the courts for their return.

[Spyke]

Do the same to cars then

[Marmoot]

Don't stop there.

In order to prevent more violent crimes, all the current violent criminals should be sentenced to death. Moreover, pregnancy and birth should be banned so as to avoid having new criminals being born.

And to lower unemployment, everyone who is currently classified as "unemployed" due to being in the productive age while not working should be sentenced to death. Ve vil achive 0% unemploymen in short order.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru!

Like the key?

All kiwis should be forced to do a theoretical test and practical test to gain any kind of bike license.
There should be three kind of categories:

125cc, 16years old, 18KW at the most.
600cc, 18years old, 33kw at the most.
full license XXXXcc, 21years old

All practical tests should consist of two parts, one there you do a "circuit" and prove that you can handle your bike, brake testing in 50kmh, 70kmh and 100kmh.
Second part a test in traffic.

No one is allowed to drive a bike on their car license except a moped.

Every rider must wear a clown suit so as not to appear threatening to the general public.
