Disco, you fecking larky bastard[/QUOTE]

How is your disco pussy cat bro!! What a buzz for the eyes. Reminds me of a bad acid trip i took in the 70's!

Neither options were 'legal' - I would much prefer a couple of tickets here and there with the possibility of a huge one (like last night) than the consequences of choosing the other option. The legalities around that were not vehicle related but much more serious and long term affecting - which is what I meant by the lesser of two evils! (pus I get to ride this gorgous beast of a bike around forever!)

Sorry Dan, not good enough. What’s going on in the rest of your life is your concern and I truly hope you can resolve it.

If my mate says to me, Geeze Andy tough time there dude, no transport, how would you like to borrow my truck for the next six months. You’ll get the hang of it… How’s that different?

My B/S radar tells me you took the most convenient option, to the best of my recollection there’s no universal law that states “All those with a first name starting with D are hereby entitled to eternal transport irrespective of circumstance”

[Str8 Jacket]

Its very easy to sit in judgement of other people with out really knowing what's going on.....

You're quite correct. Shrug. I'm sure your point is taken. Fortunately, the world is not devoid of people with compassion.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Karma is a motherfucker, and no man is an island.

There, that's my entire week's cliché allocation used up in one post.

[Tank]

If I had a financial means to ride within my license conditions then I would - but I dont.

This is where the problems come in - You are riding uninsured and you ride into the side of my car.

How do you expect to be able to pay for something like that if you cannot afford a small legal bike that you could have sold for near the same $$$ when you had your full??

Im sorry - but people who ride around like this piss me off - They know that getting the $$$ off them is like pissing in the wind but dont care. How would you feel if someone uninsured backed over your bike and fucked it totally?

They cannot pay - Dont tell me you would think that was fair and wouldnt come on here bleating about how crap it is.

This bike is the only one that is available to me in my current 'situation' and as such is not excusing but rather the 'lesser of two evils'. ...

You're using it as as an excuse tho'. You didnt have to buy a bike outside your licence terms. You could have used the $$$ for a legal bike. You can get a legal bike for 2/10ths of fuck all now - probally less than the cost of the fines you were up on last night.

Believe me, you dont want to be in my situation!

Sorry that there are problems that are making life hard - but seriously - riding like you were is only looking for more headaches.

Oh I was and still do, but fortunately Crime Watch archived the whole lot for me

Are you saying I’ve got no compassion mate? Geeze if there’s 2 things I hate, it’s those people with no compassion and small defenceless animals with big brown eyes

When did I say that I "bought" the bike??? I do not legally own it - nor can I legally own it, even with license conditions aside.

As I said before my options were limited - either ZX11 for a few months on wrong license or no transport at all in any form (short of public) for close to three years. Fuck that.

[Swoop]

Still cant get over how quick those bikes can move!! What are they?

BMW's.

Trying to search for exact info on them and stumbled on this.

Interesting that there are only 30 bikes in hands.

[HungusMaximist]

BRO, you gotta be the luckiest man alive.

Yea you have your reasons but still LUCKY LUCKY LUKCY!

When your done Disco, can you like heal me and pass on some of your *lucky* karma to me and my uni motorcyclists?

[DougieNZ]

Bloody nice point!

You've got a nice bike there buddy. My advice, ride it LEGALLY once you have your full licence - and insurance!

THAT would be learning the lesson that the nice Mr Plod wants you to learn..

Karma works in several ways - and the next cop (or the same one) will not be letting you off next time.

I don't think any less of you as a person - in foact you are probably a good guy. But you ARE taking a big risk!

[FruitLooPs]

I have certainly started thinking even more towards the "dont bring attention to myself" part now.

Still cant get over how quick those bikes can move!! What are they?

Jeez you were lucky, but stop the speeding and get onta ya licence mate!

I've broken my conditions on a few occassions *ahem* but don't go making it obvious!


The bikes I believe are BMW K1200 series, ~170bhp. I guess the best thing you did that night was not go gunning it off into the night.. Good on ya for that, pitty bout the rest hehe.

It came up behind me pretty quick

An extra 20 odd ponies over mine....

If you had access to the ZX11 from now you could have put it in storage and used public transport for the three months until you were legal.

Again the risk vs reward of riding uninsured is not worth it IMHO (esp if you cannot afford to pay for any damage to the other persons stuff)

There are always options - I lost my licence for 6 months and managed to cope on public transport etc. Its a pain but can be done - if you are willing to make the effort.

ps - Licence loss was due to medical reasons while they worked out what they thought was wrong with my eyes, not anything to do with my riding.
