anyone ever get a ticket for no L plate when they were learning, that would be classic, so far the stories are cool!

Until this year I had only ever had one speeding ticket: that was back in 1972.
Between then and now I reckon I must have done about a million km (car+bike), not all of them at or below the legal limit. Never had a serious accident.
In the space of 2 months now I've picked up 2 speeding tickets (111 on the open road, 70 in a 50 zone). At this rate my licence will be gone within 6 months.
It was fun while it lasted...

Back in my day the learner label was the rego label - when you registered your bike you said you were a learner and you got an 'L' rego.Once I was pulled over riding my brothers bike,he had been riding less than me,but as he had a full car lisense he had a full bike one too.It was out of town and I had to go to court - there was a fat lawyer with long greasy hair there,his name was David Langey,he later became famous.

190 up a hill on the motorway coming from Silverdale towards Greville Rd in my Prelude... Had I gone 60km/h faster I would of reached the top speed of my car

However it was 4am on a Sunday... and the cop was on the other side of the motorway thus I was never ticketed as he never stoped me

I litteraly shat my pants I kid you not

Since then I havent been speeding

Wonder what the punishment is for doing nearly double the speed limit?

After 7 years with clean record (pure dumb luck) I got my first ticket a few weeks ago for (of all things) dragging off an undercover cop car at the lights. I had checked for the blue and red lights under the grille beforehand, but the buggers have relocated them to the dashboard (inside the car) these days.

Anyway, I still had a bit of luck as the cop was a biker himself (VTR1000F) and rounded the speed figure down to 65 (thus saving me $60 on the fine)!

So who won the drag?

**FlyingDutchMan** · 22nd November 2004, 11:36

Only ever been pulled over once. Was on my GN125 doing all it could at the time (a sickly 70km/h) on the open road. Presumably only pulled over cause I was going so slow. Got ticket for no L-plate ($400) and WOF 9 days overdue ($200). Bought an L plate, got a warrant two days later, sent in a nicely worded letter and got off on both.

lanesplitting
car speeding - 25k over
bike speeding (250cc in a 50 zone) - 27 k over
bike speeding (600cc in a 50 zone) - 38k over (no complaint there as it could easily have been way more than that a few mtres beforehand!)

i use to be able to tell cop cars from just the headlights but now the lack of night time riding i can't do that )c:<

I was done, no wof, no reg, no licence when i was 15, got them all with in 28 days no fine.

other than that was caught speeding twice last year on my old gsxr1100, which i found out cause my speedo read high(sat at 65mph(108km/h) later turned out to be 118km/h) strange thing is one day i got pulled over, coming out of hamilton pasted a cop at airport turn off at speed didn't do a thing, later down karpio straights cop got me at same speed, i never speed down there cause i always knew cop around, once i knew my speed was out never got ticketd for speeding again.

And on the gixxer i never been ticketed and i few times i am amazed i haven't, i think its the shape of the colour or something, rader must not work on it that well, cause a few times i should have been done dead to rights, but nothing, but that might just be my luck (c:<
