Mind you I don't get the English langue and it's stupid rules about spelling and comprehension so I assume to a literate person I am just as bad.

Well done, Steve. Guess you meant to say langwidch.

But thats not all - The bike they were on had no reg/wof/ and the rider no motorcycle license.... Not only that but the chain was so loose it was almost dragging on the ground! I told them they couldn't leave until they had at least tightened up the chain and sprayed some lube on the bit of rust that connected the front and rear sprockets.. Lent them the tools to do so.

Would you ride a bike any distance in this state?? Not I.

Not I

some people just dont get ay

The great guys at Fielding Yamaha welded it up for me so I was able to complete the South Island road trip and the Brass.

What's this about motorcycles with differentials?

As I understand it, a differentrial is used in a car so that the inside and outside drive wheels can rotate at different speeds as the car goes around a corner.

:spudbooge Is this a fault with xvs or just a bit of bad luck. Thanks

**Waylander** · 4th February 2005, 21:08

Not really sure if its called a diferential but it changes the direstion of the drive shaft so the tire spins forward from the top instead of to the right from the top.....

**marty** · 4th February 2005, 21:22

a differential is probablty technically correct, however the reality is that it's just a planetary gear

**Waylander** · 4th February 2005, 21:23

Give me a sec I'll look it up in my manual and then ad it to this post in an edit.

(edit) funny thing is it doesnt say hmmm have to check on that......

Arrrr no. I do both, and have never had any special training. Get the rims balanced and put the red dot to the valve and you are away. I assume you have a bead breaker etc. Get em plenty soapy so they will bead up ok.

Top whack for speeding ticket (still below loss of licence level): $630, no w.o.f. $200, no reg. $200,.

The "no licence bike" I assume you mean you do not have a bike licence? If so that's another $400.

$1430 will by a lot of bubble-gum matey!!

however much he wanted it to.

lets see: disqualy - impounded vehcile, may be confiscated by the court. 2 years prison, $$4500 fine, 6 months further loss of licence (as a a minimum). 3rd offence - $6000 fine, 5 years prison, 2 years disqual with conditions having to be met before resitting your licence.

fails to stop, $10000

no reg/wof $200 each

dangerous/reckless (reckless when you run): penalties as for disqualified.

and if a warrant is issued, you won't get police bail when you're picked up, which will probably be on a friday night after court has closed - next court day is monday

that's off the top of my head. can anyone think of anything else?
