Having the skills and the experience is worth more in my book than a piece of paper

Insurance, insurance, insurance. You never realise how important it is on a bike until you actually need it.

Edit: And if there's some reason why Disco can't sort a full licence right now, he should at least have the sense to shut his fool mouth in public about what he's doing. It's generally understood that if you're riding dirty, you don't want to give nobody no excuse to see you rolling and get with the hating and patrolling, you just do it quietly and sort it out as fast as possible.

Waste of breath - it's like me trying to tell 18 year olds to wear their seatbelt.

They must just KNOW they're never going to need the two above items.

Awww shucks... my very own 'flame' thread! So proud!

When I told the officer I was able to apply for my license this month he told me, by writing me a ticket it would extend the license period.... good policing if you ask me, at least now i'll be 'legal' quicker.

[Disco Dan]

Hmm insurance? Yes I know, a tad irresponsible I admit.

But having a choice between "no bike - no transport" and "ZX1100 - with no insurance for a few months" ...I picked the bike.

Im sure many of you would have too!

Situation is very 'complicated' and I would rather not go into it on a public forum!

At the end of the day, on KB, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you dont. If ya post a thread like this then you will get flamed!!! Good onya if you are planning to sort ya shit out, will save you alot of $$ for the next time you get pulled over!

[Disco Dan]

If you all knew the entire situation and the options I had to pick then you would all realise that I did indeed make the right decision. I wont explain myself - It only matters that I know that I made the right decision in my particular situation! !

Very lucky Disco. When can you get your full?

Dont worry about trying to explain yourself. Its your life mate!

OK, fair enough, but you can't expect not to catch some heat for stating what you did in your first post!

Hope it all works out for you and nothing goes amiss while you're in this situation.

[Disco Dan]

Right now actually.

The amount of threads i've seen of disqualified riders getting pulled days before they get their license back... ...the moment I am able to apply, and its like someone filled my pockets with truffles!

If I had a financial means to ride within my license conditions then I would - but I dont. 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'. ...the officer understood when I explained my complete situation - which is why he let me off. Believe me, you dont want to be in my situation!

But the option you took wasn’t really a legal option for you. The fact you saw it as one makes you a bigger mug. This is the first time I’ve flamed anyone, feels quite good.

[Disco Dan]

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?

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!)

I know what it's like to be in a very difficult position and to have to do things that are a little 'grey', trust me.

Just be careful, stay quiet about it, hope for the best and act as prudently as possible to resolve things as fast as you can.
