might sell the kwaka and buy something more suitable for the raod, like a honda. or could just get an aprilla and park it in the shed and look at it.

I lost mine in the 80's but it was on my first Gixxer so too easy. How long are you looking at? On the bright side, you may get to be a pillion on a Triumph.....

Pretty sure they won't actually call round to take it from you. They'll suspend it then order you to surrender it to your nearest Police station. Whether you do or not they're hardly going to chase you for it. If you chance it, get pulled over and they do a licence check the system will ask you to assume the position.

Oh yeah. The ticket is for an alleged infringement. The demerits don't hit your licence until you're found or plead guilty. Paying is in effect pleading guilty.

IIRC to get the maximum delay without incurring additional costs ignore the ticket due date, but make sure you pay by the due date of the first reminder notice. If you miss that you'll be referred to the courts. You should be able to delay things by about two months.

so delay as long as possible by not paying is recommended?

im screwed anyway but would like to get some summer riding in first.

Seriously though, well done mate.

Thanks Sarge, not sure about the K or the Y, the prob is the world's my oyster.

One thing about the rides is being comfortable at your pace,and nobody gives grief if you are slow,we can't all start off like superbike stars.And watching guys like 86,Cowboyz,Meanie,Yod,Bonez,Monie,NZSarge,to name a few is the confidence you get by following and watching them,usually dissapearing quickly,but picking up on the way the bike handles,and trying to be smooth.One ride up the track we did I wanted to get to the top and bottom of the first hill on it without braking,keeping it smooth and fastish(for me 2 up),managed to do it,rode the remaining 20km to Pahiatua happy as.Watching these guys helped,especially when new to area like we are,not knowing the roads as well as others.

I'm with ya on all that!

yep, they give you 28 days, then they send a reminder and that has 28 more days. then you pay on the last day . then once youve payed, they add the demerits, then they send someone out to hunt you down and take your licence.

yep.. I get a few of them

I usually wait till the last day to pay, but apparently the demerits get back dated anyhow so I have lost my licence. its just how long I can delay it for now.
