I think going 70 is dangerous.. is why I dont do it. Got a broken L plate on the back of my bike, and a kb sticker, which I think if I flash it at the cops, I'm sure they will let me off..or maybe not.
Grr!!

I'll have you know young man! I can do 104.5km fine and dandy... with a tail wind... on a slight downhill...
Damn your correctness.

It's all Karma really. 70 Km/h is meant to keep learners off motorways and highways until they can get their restricted 3(6)months later.
That said, my brother's had his learners for about 10 years now, and he eventually got done for 140km/hr after 10pm on an unwarranted, unregoed bike. Sucks to be him, but he could have gone and got his full a lot sooner..

I can understand wanting Learners to ride slower, much like Learner car drivers arn't supposed to drive alone, but its more dangerous for those on bike to be doing 70...
Doing 140 wouldn't have mattered what licence he was on, and no WOF and Reg is ever so slightly... dumb.

Im about to do the first bit of my test tomorrow & then on friday do the theory, then next week ill be going to Auckland to pick up my new bike I bought yesterday and riding it back to New Plymouth. Buggered if im gunna stick to 70Km/h on that journey. Aside from being bloody dangerous as everyone agrees it would take me a week to get home lol

No longer stutter bike
I never had any L's on my bike untill I got that fine and the cops were looking for me
But I also went over 70 so that would have been a $700 fine but thats not 'fine'with me as thats alot more than other fines for much more serious stuff!!
we should get a ride from Auckland to Welling ton going 70 that might make an impact stupid bastard Govt
Scooter boy
Hopefully I have a new bike by then - and I'll be keen to join in....

Exactly. I wish you'd all stop wasting my time by making me read posts about how 70km/h on the motorway is dangerous - who are you trying to convince? We all agree with you. I'm sure even the so-called "stupid law makers" would agree with you, but their reply would be "well, don't go on the motorway then".
I personally think that sending a 15yo with absolutely no experience who only got their bike yesterday out onto the motorway and telling them to go at 100km/h is also pretty dangerous.

"make you read it"??? Get ya hand off it ya clown. The title of the thread is pretty damn clear what the subject is about. Its obvious you just wanted to have a bleet, now bugger off, no one really wants to hear it. The center of the universe does NOT revolve around you sunshine.

It might just be me, but right from the first day I got my licence, I went to get a WOF for my bike which required going over a bridge on the motorway. I was nervous as hell around the streets and in traffic, made lots of mistakes, but as soon as I got on the motorway and up to 90-100kph I felt much more relaxed and safe. I know it will hurt a bit more if you come off at that speed, but there's far less to worry about when everybody's going in the same direction and up to speed. I don't think the motorway is much to worry about, to be perfectly honest -- it's just the speed thing that makes some newbies nervous (100kph on a motorcycle feels bloody fast).
No longer stutter bike
And for the ones that don't live in Auckland or Wellington it can be a huge pain,
For me a 5 minute ride could turn into a 20 min one which is a pain after work with the goddam 10 off the streets rule doesn't leave much time!!!
