Thanks
I rode over to the other side to park the bike on a flat bit of ground
I looked over and thought wouldnt it be good to get a pic of that so i reached for my phone to take a pic with that and remembered i packed my camera
Didnt plan it, just happened that way That normaly makes the best photos

I keep going back and looking at it......the spacing between the cop car with door open as she runs his shit....full bike in there and poor thing sitting looking defeated, all with great new zealand scenery in the back ground. I want one...... but I cant afford it lol

As they ARE into ticketing,I prefer to refer to tickets as INVOICES from Thursday on,83 in 70 km only $80 but I don't like dem points,only on 40 but won't lose any till the all blacks next world cup semi or 2009.

When I sorted out insurance I had to get a list of demerit points for the insurance company (and massive inflated excess) and I had to write a letter and fuck around for ages cause they wouldnt give me any info over the phone. That was only 6 months ago and I was on 90 points then. It all depends on what dropped off when.[/COLOR]

If you want it in writing it may be more of a drama but they will read you the numbers straight off the computer screen over the phone. (This I know from experience having inquired on several occasions.)
Phone 0800 822 422 and press option 2 for demerit points tally. Have your licence no. handy of course.

He did have a sense of humour and not pull James up.

well the good news is I only have 45 points. Add another 35 for this ticket gives me 80. All is good. I only have to get to december 07 for 35 to drop off again so looking pretty good.

happy as larry and got a nice photo out of it.

your a shocker!!!!!good to hear the demerits are on the way down soon matey...

**cowboyz** · 8th October 2007, 15:52

to be fair I couldnt give a rats arse about the fine. Its only a risk that we take every time we go out and I wouldnt ride at the speeds I do if it was that big a problem. Those demerits give me the shits though. But as long as I can get under 50 point mark then it takes some pressure off.

Not sure, I'm a big fan of Metzlers (Z6's) but not sure if they'd last on a heavy bike. Might ask around at the GC. Trouble is with the bike handling like a sports bike you don't want to ruin that with crappy rubber. Would rather wear tyres out a bit quicker than be slipping & sliding around...

Radguard arrived tonight - will be fitting it tomorrow night.

Can I humbly make a suggestion, try some Michelin Pilot Road 2's Cowboyz has one on the back of that green thingy and Yod is running a full set, they should have formed a decent opinion by the time you need new rubber, well maybe not you Bandit what with the clicks you're racking up, you might might be looking for a new set after this weekend eh. Best of luck for GC by the way.

Glad to hear we won't have to see you on the back of a bike yet!!!! Not sure it would be the right look somehow

I can just imagine you backseat riding
