A bit of wider feed back would be good.
If you got done for +135km/h and got a fine for $400 and 50 demerits, would you sell your bike?
Just curious?
My advice, pay the fine, take the points, pull your head in for a bit...(3)
I would be taking Mom's advice![]()
*shrug* I have NO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!! Tis not me (hypothetical and all that)
Why would you?
Cant control my *you are little shits, and my bike goes faster than your dumb cage* twist of the wrist?
Me, I love Speed...(3)
Right time, right place, enough demerits to play, that kind of thing.

Hypothetically speaking I would never venture to even try that crazy speed ,but if I was to and caught No I would`nt sell my bike . I`d tell your friend to look at it as a learning curve and slow down , hypothetically of course.

Not a big deal.
How many people haven't done that speed on the open road at some point, especially on these new fang-dangled machines. (apart from GN riders.)
I would guess the majority of us are trying to keep the speed in check when we ride.
How fast is the Auckland motorway traffic on a Sunday night ? Must have been average 120km/hr, with a heap more passing faster than that, when I was heading up North at about 6pm.
For your info there is a proposal in the pipeline re fines/demerits etc
The idea will be to reduce the fines on speeding tickets and increase demerits
The numbers given to me are
1 to 19 km/h over speed limit $50 fine, 25 demerit points
20 to 29 km/h over speed limit $100 fine 50 demerit points
30 to 50 km/h over speed limit $150 fine 75 demerit points
Seatbelt and Red light tickets. amongst others will carry demerits whereas currently they don't.
Currently if you breach your learner licence you are given a ticket for $400 and 25 demerits, the new proposal is to give you a fine and demerits but you will also receive a notice warning you not to breach your learner licence within three months, otherwise your car/bike gets impounded
To this I say 'bravo' because some people get a learners and think they can drive as they fucken well please. I know of many Harley riders who are on learner and restricted licences, you guys better book your restricted soon methinks, not sure what you'll do the test on though...![]()

Been there, done that, never sold a bike over it.
I'm sure I'd cop a ton of shit at home but it wouldn't make me get rid of the bike.
And on the GN tops speed - mine is at the redline at an indicated 120kph.
Depending on the situation that be be plenty fast enough to get into trouble
Do the crime, pay the fine.
Get up at 6am and 'enjoy' the open road before everyone else wakes up - thats why god invented summer mornings. Shes a smart cookie that one.....
not sell the bike, but i might look at fittin a speed limiter for a few months.

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
