Big bike, little license

**ManDownUnder** · 9th February 2007, 14:28

Something I've been wondering for a while... who does (or did) ride a bike beyond their licence class?

And did you get busted doing it?

**LilSel** · 9th February 2007, 14:33

Not me... lol... Never been pulled over on bike fullstop *touches wood*...
not riding out of licence class... but guess I could do so n not get busted.. maybe?!... having never been pulled over etc... (waiting out time till full tho).

EDIT: Oh but did ride before getting licence... no bust

No one I know would do that.
But if they did, you should probably keep a bit of a low profile, like watch where and when you speed and hoon maybe, then you may just get away with it - so far.

Hence the anonymous poll ... I'm genuinely interested to know who/what is out there. I'm a goody two shoes when it comes to this shit so... (like that surprises anyone)

My friend rode his big bike for a year on a restricted, got busted once but got away with it. The guys an idiot and should have got his full ages ago (when he could but Im lazy....dammit!).

Well... I've never ridden a bike over 250cc's so I've been a good girl... only just got my full yesterday... so yeah I voted "other"

Still on a learners and will wait for my full before I upgrade... I am way to friendly with Murphy and his law...

When I were a lad, I used to ride bikes without a licence, anything I could get my mitts on (mostly my sister's boyfriend's CB350). When I had my looners (or was it called a 'provisional' licence back then? I fergit...) I did the same. Can't recall even seeing a cop whilst riding around in this non-legal state, but I'd imagine not much would've happened even if one'd pulled me over.

If I was starting off nowadays, I dunno what I'd do. I do know I wouldn't have an L-plate on my bike - that's just like wearing a target on your back as far as other motorists are concerned.
