Licence gone :-(

[scracha]

Hmm..makes me wonder if there's much point in owning a litre bike o NZ's roads ..

[Karma]

on the roads? not so much, but on certain back roads it's ok, and there of course is always the track.

Same could be said for cars as well, why drive anything more than a nissan bluebird?

[McJim]

Och aye - just cane it in the twisties - they never set up speed traps in the twisties - that's where I do all my speeding.

Forced by the police to speed where it's most dangerous - blind corners.

All the speed cameras and speed traps I've ever seen are on straights - has taught me to cool it on the straight and ride to my limits on the corners.

I only brough the gix in part for it's power, it was mostly because the 400 was too small physically.. I used to get knee cramps and that riding it, whereas the gix is bigger and more comfortable.

[boomer]

whats a gix

[Karma]

gix is a contraction of gixxer, which in itself is a nickname for a Suzuki GSXR.

is there any chance of getting a temp licence before the 28 days, as im self employed and require transport to service my clients

i dont quite understand.

you get 175 demerits, would it be fair to say you doint learn from your "mistakes" ie getting caught? or were they all a bunch of freakish events where the cops laser lied?
you didnt stop andf change your way of riding/driving as you might end up losign licence, ability to legally drive around, when your l;icence is worht more to you than others who arent slef employed and need to drive, yet you kept =breaking the law.

why do you care? keep driving.

[Toaster]

Dont you lose it at 100 demerits??...
lucky you kept it as long as you did if had 175...

It depends on the rate you accrue them and if and when LTSA/Police catch up with you. Some people can end up with massive demerits against their name.

That's crock, I lost my license going through the twisty Forest part of Old North Road on a 250cc V-Twin cruiser!

Archer I feel your pain.

When you think "Oh, I'll just pop up the road and get a drink... OH FUCK, that's right, no License" remember ... I'm out there riding

[carver]

Well, was stopped today for a "licence check" and as i already have 175 demerit points, it was bye bye mr licence :-(

What is the fastest way to get a temp one for work without breaking the bank?

Any help is appreciated

pm sayam5, he has just lost his for 6 months!
il miss riding with ya buddy, you will come back a noob!

[slopster]

I guess once you go over 100 points you might as well keep ticking them up till you get caught cos your loosing it anyway and starting with a clean slate. As long as you put money aside for the tickets!

[ArcherWC]

Put the rego on hold today for three months

That wasn't a speed trap per se - you had a mazda 6 with coppers in it up your arse while doing an alleged 140kph or something remember?

Sorry had to have a dig at this comment ...........

Driving is a privilege not a RIGHT

Sitting a license test after attaining a certain age and knowledge level is a privilege.

Driving after meeting skill tested criteria and certain financial obligations gives you rights.

All a matter of individual perception here. I for one think having my cage ticket is a goddamn curse!
