I don't normally like Buells but that XB of yours is the business. Loved the article about it too. What would it be like for a 5'8 (midget) rider?Originally Posted by Big Dave

I'm 6'5" and it's nigh on perfect.
I completely agree with your pic sAsLEX, and I follow that exact same method, because its safest, and I like to be healthy, alive, and in one piece.
And its completely illegal
I don't understand the justification behind it. Whether you are to the left or right of the dotted lines dividing medium and fast lanes, YOU WOULD IN THEORY, STILL BE IN THE FAST LANE DRIVER'S BLINDSPOT.
Their justification for the law is bullshit.

Oh fuck you need justification for laws?! Well bugger me I think no one has told the LTSA that! Like their new subjective noise laws, which replaced a well written standards tested law, monkeys!Originally Posted by Gremlin
No, probably not. I'll just piss and moan like an ingrained arsehole, and take it up the tail pipe...Originally Posted by Big Dave
I'm happy to lend my voice, signature to anything, but I couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.
And I'll just avoid the cops, either through not being there in the first place, or not remaining there...

That's not really how it was - but thank you anyway, (a Stella) - I wanted to know.Originally Posted by Macktheknife
I have appropriate licence with healthy enough points count, immaculate bike warranted and fully in order (brand new tyres on wednesday even) and genuinely wanted to talk to the guy anyway.
It wasn't a stress - the officer actually knew who I am/what I do (once I took my hat off) and was as informative as he is allowed to be.
Passing on the left is $150 fine, no demerits...

Only a fine? No demerits? *checkz* Bugger me , you're right. Well, I'll be a bit more aggressive in future. The slight risk of a fine I am not too fazed by, it's the points that worry me. Well, well. And- same thing for driving in the emergency stopping lane. Well, well.

hahahah, yes, of course I am right... I found out the hard way. Extremely factual, blunt etc.Originally Posted by Ixion
On a side note, plates may not be touched, bar drilling holes. No trimming, nothing. A $200 fine applies, no demerits. Again, found out the hard way![]()
sAsLEX is right about the crap on hard shoulders etc, although I have never picked up a puncture (of course, I haven't done it either). If you do decide to do this ultra naughty thing, stick as close to the proper lane as possible, as it gets cleaner as you get closer to the normal lane.
