Have you ever been randomly pulled over for this reason?

[fireball]

I got pulled over once to. I smacked the cop over the head with my helmet and rn into the bush.

you are not very clever are you?
that is rather insensitive...

plus some of us have the luck of the irish.... in my case this particular cop knew me from work.... coffee is a wonderful thing

Lol in the time i was actualy pulled over i got a very small fine. Being nice to cops helps

I rode my CBR1000 for several months without a bike license at all, but I'm tough. I then went on a shonky LTSA authorised CBTA course and went from zero to full in 4 weeks. Suckers.

Zero to full in 4 weeks by doing a LTSA authorised CBTA course???

Never heard of the CBTA course. Whats it about or is it a joke?

[Ixion]

No joke, but also no longer available. Sorry.

It was a trial by the LTSA a few years ago of an accelerated GDLS for mature riders. But when the trial finished they stoppe dit. You can't do it now

The only time I have been pulled over I won a gift pack.

[scumdog]

$400? serious? I thought it was about like.... $150?

ALL licence breaches are $400 - oh and don't forget the 25 demerits....

Just in case that yet again somebody has got through life thus far without knowing the above.

Don't ride over 250cc, riding anything bigger on L or R will result in immediate death as soon as you get on the bike

Didnt you come rather close to that?

dare i ask what part of the south you hail from? last time a cop pulled us up i heard those words......(i was not the driver to clarify)

[breakaway]

Didnt you come rather close to that?

Yes, but I honestly believe that if I had a CBR250RR it would have made zero difference to what happened on that day.

[Maverick]

you guys get all the fun...I've never even been pulled over.

Think I'll need to go for a hoon through Balclutha and wake Scumdog up eh?

Nah, its cause you ride a Duke, and everyone knows that Duke owners are too scared to ride fast incase they get dirty, and young guys cant afford em, so why bother?

[Morcs]

Is it illegal to mount an L plate on an 1100cc bike?

Technically its a breach of license and a $400 fine.

[EJK]

Technically its a breach of license and a $400 fine.

That is correct

[discotex]

Yes, but I honestly believe that if I had a CBR250RR it would have made zero difference to what happened on that day.

That might be true from the perspective of the bikes performance but....

If someone is willing to risk the fine and no insurance they're more likely to take risks in their riding style (not saying that was the case with you at all).

I'd be willing to bet that per km travelled those who ride over 250cc on their 6L and 6R crash far more often and more seriously than those who stick to the rules.

Personally I'd like to see us adopt the aussie system of power vs weight.

i got pulled over for sweaving slightly, i was wearing in my new front tyre, had petroled it and was getting that protective storage coating crap off them out near the edges.
when i told the cop he looked at me like i was crazy, dumbass.
