(Isn't funny when you say a word a number of times it's sounds strangely different?)

EG: Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark Helen Clark.

I thought she was one and the same??

Maybe if you airbrushed a picture of some rotting teeth on one side, and got a custom plate like BDHBT or COUGH etc...

Is that a qualified legal position you feel comfortable standing up for in court?

THERES STILL LUCKY STRIKE RGV'S AND MARLBOROUGH TZR'S BEING RIDDEN ON THE ROAD AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT , BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WENT TO COURT .
ITS FUNNY HOW I BRING THIS UP THEN THIS MORNING I SEE A MARLBOROUGH TZR AT THE SHOPS IT WAS AN OLD ONE WITH SINGLE DISC AND LOOKED QUITE SPIFFING

**onearmedbandit** · 28th May 2006, 13:15

riffer - surely you can not be serious?? Like I said in my prevuious post, are the owners of Rothmans Honda VFR's and NSR's going to court??? I don't think so. I know a guy with a Rizla GSXR thou, only trouble he has with the govt would be speeding tickets. To think someone would be fined for having ciggie company paint jobs on their bikes is laughable, is it not?

Almost as laughable as the idea of a ciggy company PAYING some random to paint there bike.

Although, good luck with it, maybe if they say no tell them that you know a few other people (kbers) who would be keen (me included

), if they had 20 bikes in auckland etc they might go 'oooh'.

Best bet is to sound all pro (in the meeting), prepare stuff and shit. like graphs - dont worry about making stuff up, its called statistics.

maybe even they could have a "lucky stripe rally" / kb ride

or somthing.

I remember as a kid the rumour that Coca Cola would pay to paint your house for free, in Coke colours though! Thinking about it, back then ('85ish) the interest something like that would generate would probably make it feasible.

IT MAY BE LAUGHABLE ON YOUR BIKE CAUSE ITS WORTH LESS THAN A PACK OF SMOKES , BUT MY BIKE IS MORE MODERN AND LOOKS SORTA STYLISH AND IN A COUNTRY WHERE THEY CANT ADVERTISE MAY BE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT TO GET THEIR BRAND OUT THERE AGAIN, ITS A POSSIBILITY TILL I GET A DEFINATE NO

I really hope you manage to get them to redo your paint.. that would just be cool.. - this is not a pisstake.. i'm being serious

To get around the legal issue your bike could always be nothing other than a personal carrying device for your tobacco. as you do not want to be carrying around a packet with graphic images on it. All you have to do is make sure you keep a 30g pack of the stuff under the seat

Other thatn that all good. Provided you don't get yourself a bad reputation with the local cops
