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

well said

have some of you people forgotten what its like to be 20 something rebel?

you are all forgetting the key thing Nobody got hurt, nobody even came close

he broke the law, he got caught, he owned up and took his punishment.

there was none of the usual indignant crybaby shit you get in here

its not fair
wah wah fuckin cops
blah blah radar calibration
please someone help me get off this ticket


the most he was guilty of was civil disobedience, which is bloody good fun, giving the "up yours" to the man is part of being a biker IMO

a bit of good natured ribbing is ok, but most of you are just being mean
leave the kid alone

I know what hapens to rebel bikers when they get OLD, they buy all the flash toys so they can look down on where they used to be.
They turn into self righteous pricks.



/rant over


oh, no grudges carried, have a nice day.

However, I doubt too many people have got a ticket they have had to pay for if stiopped by a cop and the WOF is only 28 dyas or less out of date, they would likely get 'compliance' on it.

A bit like being on a restricted Licence and breaching the conditions of it in some way - again the cop (if he's nice and judging by KB that's not often) MAY give 'compliance' IF the person on their 'R' licence is all set to do their Full - and does it within 28 days.

Quite right on the WOF about compliance, but the licence thing... Sadly, at the moment, Learner and Restricted Breaches are not in the policy.

If you have never held a licence, you can get compliance within 28 days (go get a learners and you will get off). Interpreted, show no understanding of the road rules or any ability to drive, they will let you off if you get a Learners licence.

Go figure. A Learner at least shows understanding of the road rules and a restricted has shown an abilty to drive, but they won't offer compliance "because it is not included in the policy."

I have just submitted paperwork arging this to have this rectified and sorted, so it is included in the Policy.

Will see how it pans out and let ya'all know.

He must have been going to fast for the conditions, yes his fault. if you can't stop in time then its your fault. Has happend to me.

To stop in time for a parked car around a blind corner he'd have to be doing 20k. Is that a reasonable speed to go on the rimutakas? I don't think so when you have 4x4s up your arse. I just think this is a perfect example of insurance companies weasling out of paying out.

Your joking aren't you mate? Thanks to the pussy footing fuckin laws in this country you can't get the uninsured bastards to pay outl. Some uninsured twat hits you and you'll be the one out of pocket or claiming insurance in the majority of cases.

You're kidding? Everyone time I've heard of someone uninsured in an incident they've had to pay out.

I haven't studied law so I wouldn't really know how pussy footin the govermunt is.

[Coyote]

Ahhhhh...17y/o and knows it all. I remember the days

I don't know it all, just be thankful the younguns you do get on this site rnt ritn lik dis ay bro.

I really shouldn't speak my opinion on this site cause I just get beaten down for it. Maybe I should start brand bashing instead, sure fire way of getting people on your side. Urr Honda's r gay lolol

If all riders on bikes larger than their licence conditions permit were banned, I'd see very few bikes on the road.

And that would be a bad thing?

on such matters. Mr DD's bike is his only transport. He rides it every day.He cannot

Yawn. "Oh dear, the only bike I could obtain on my learners was a ZZR1100". I smell bullshit.

[scracha]

You're kidding? Everyone time I've heard of someone uninsured in an incident they've had to pay out.

If they haven't got insurance then there's a fair chance they've got no money. Speak to anybody here with experience of how well the courts get money from peeps who can't pay fines? "oh, sorry, can't pay your fine...Ok, we'll half it and you can pay it at 50c per week". Add to that the time writing letters, day in court, etc etc and who's paying the bigger fine (I'm self employed).. Couldn't crush or repo the $hitbox of a car either as it was "mummy's".

[SPman]

(for instance, RG100 hit a car that was parked in the middle of the road around a blind corner on the rimutakas. Not his fault, but since he didn't have insurance he has to pay the car's insurance company $2000).

If it's not his fault, he doesn't have to pay. I'd say parking a car in the middle of the road on a blind corner, is criminal negligence!

[MaxB]

DD in your biking life, if it is a long one, you may get let off like this maybe once or twice ever again. That is how lucky you are right now.

Woah.. what a night...

speeding... (was overtaking a lone cage) on my way home from work tonight. See a bikey cop coming the other way... I go around the corner and he's right behind me... flashing away!

oh crap... pull over:

no reg
no wof
restricted license
1100cc monster bike
after license curfew
...oh and speeding.

I thought I was walking.....


after a short slap on the wrist he pats my bike on the tank and "ride safe on your way home... to the speed limit eh?" ...hopps on his bike and rides off!

...sitting there *gobsmacked*

I should have been walking.

Just got home and im cooking some bacon and having a strong drink.

Far out... so FARKING LUCKY.

The weird thing was though... I was so well behaved on the remainder of my trip home....

...dam those police bikes move quick!!!!!

You must be a policeman, coz it sounds like a pack of lies.

If what you are saying is true the filth must have already made quota and couldn't be arsed with the paperwork.

Go buy a Lotto ticket.

morning all....coffee anyone? I had the most amazing dream.

[jrandom]

In honour of this thread, I am now going to have bacon for breakfast.

And the first time you have any civil disobedience that impacts you negativly the first thing you do is call 'the man'

Its got nothing to do about being a 'biker' at all.

Oh boo fuckin hoo. We've all had hard times Dan, it's just some of us take personal responsibility. If you don't like folk venting at you and aren't prepared to divulge your "personal circumstances" then why post on a public forum?

I like the bullshit you spout about "you being prepared to take the risk". The fucktard that knocked me off my bike was "also prepared to take that risk".

[Drew]

And that would be a bad thing?

Very closed minded of you there Stevie. Do you think I am unqualified to ride a bike bigger than a 250? I might be a lazy prick for not having gotten my correct licence, but I dont think I should be banned. There a folk out there with the correct licence , but no clue of how to handle a "big bike".
