That should narrow things down a tad.

Aye. Don't think I actually know anyone that fit's that bill.

In fact I'm not sure there's any such animal...

Hhmmmm that's really good money for a shoot like that if it fits your daily/weekly schedule. There's no shortage of models in this country and plenty of gigs pay less than that.
Hope he realises how much petrol these sportsbikes use lol
Checked out his web presence seems legit, be worth it if you have the time down that way.
I'd ask what the final image use is though, you wouldn't want to end up fronting one of ACC or LTSAs propaganda campaigns...

kinda depends on what they classify as driving offences, if its just instant fines then they really gonna narrow the field but if its court convictions for driving then that shouldn't narrow the search.

If they want pics then what do "driving offenses" have to do with a photo shoot?

The client will be a govt. department & will have put that clause in the contract. I missed out on a desk job years ago due to a careless use conviction, someone was obviously concerned I was going to crash a stapler or summat.

It's obviously for a safety campaign, can't have someone who speeds advertising staying under the speed limit.

Anyone have a turbo hayabusa they can lend to someone with a clean record? "Stay under the limit" (says the guy riding the rocket on wheels)

Is there any wiggle room on this? I can only tick one of those boxes.

**rastuscat** · 15th September 2013, 11:45

I'd go if it was down here. Glass half full guys. Get paid to ride a bike.

So it's really just more PR bullshit cooked up by someone who doesn't ride, otherwise they wouldn't care about trivial matters like traffic convictions.

Yep, funded by us who pay rego's no doubt.

I would be fucking carefull.

Police checks to be photographed riding your bike....................

Sounds like those fuckers at ACC/Moto-NZ are looking to produce some propoganda video again showing safe ACC approved bikers on their legal bikes in ATGATT out having legal fun......

Remember you wont have insurance if you are using your bike for paid employment.
