    A few countries have a gold pass.
    Flash some gold, ticket passes away.
    Speed doesn't kill people.

    Why have a plate in the first place?

    Have done, why not?

    How fast am I allowed to go? Dunno, the speedo only went to 240kmh.

    Good call Lou - trainees get 10 minutes at Mansfield - public think they're all Jensen Buttons. (unfortunately so do a few of the trainees)

    I hate to be the one to tell you but the Wanaganui computer has gone the way of ignition points, cross-ply tyres and chain drive...

    The wind lifts the plate when you go over about 120k, and it comes back down when riding slow.

    its a pity you dont get teh bronze silver gold scheme for civilians when passing your licence test.

    bronze means you have to stick to the road signs and your only allowed 100hp cars and 30hp bikes

    silver means you get to go 10ks over and are allowed 150hp cars and 60hp bikes

    gold means you get to go 30ks over and are open to cars or bikes of your choice.
    gone.

    But most would struggle on a good day to get as high as bronze..

    Suck them? At the speeds you run at I'd be running over them, best you just move over and let me pass - less pain for you eh?

    Hm. Yep, got all three of those. So what's this about the computer then?

    Hehe, yeah I realise that, but it kind of has a ring to it.

    So does "points, cross-ply tyres and chain drive" actually...

    Nice when you're doing over 120k. Doesn't suit my riding style, though, sometimes I do drop below 120k for safety reasons, and still don't want my plate seen.
