That statement right there shows a lack of acceptance/understanding as to why you were fined...

He got what he deserved (both situations) and being pinged for the same thing twice just proves he's not teachable, anyway. FFS, he even tried to tell us that he's been all road legal since the last time, when he told us in the preceding post that he hasn't had a reg since Sept last year.
The young, world-owes-me types all come a cropper, sooner or later. He's not special in that regard.

He is young as am I, you cant expect him to not make mistakes like this, he is a teenager, I'm sure when you were a teenager you did bad things repetitively. He needs to be educated by the older in years and more wiser (funny that i had a thread about the older blokes). And think of this in a open perspective, be it he didnt obey the law either way getting a $800 fine is a shit experience. Im not saying he is innocent and deserves sympathy, metalor owned up and obviously wasnt proud of what he has done.
Does he have to get mean comments from everyone? after all he did say he doesent care what people say on the internet, but many still persist.

Didn't appreciate the "you're a cunt, you're a fucking dick" laughing in my face, but fuck it, you guys can be pig headed fucking grandads if you want, cos you all know soooooo much more better than I do.

So yea, next time I'll just keep my mouth shut so I don't have to be a target for you guys to feel awesome, and making my day just that little bit shitter.

NB: Just got a new rear tyre fitted at cycletreads and have booked in for a warrant on saturday. Cheers.

Okay, so for next time, it's actually okay to sit behind a cop, and honestly, it's often the best policy. He could have nailed you for doing 105, on an L plate. Sounds like he cut you some slack...

Realistically, you should expect to get the (deserved) shit that you've gotten. You can get angry about that, or ignore the noise and learn the point. This is a brutally Darwinian activity that you're engaged in. Most of us have been to quite a few funerals over the years. Taking chances on the basics mean the foundation is flawed. Further, a motorcycle is no place for an angry person, they become road kill inevitably.

Finally - your audience on this site range from accountants to ambo's/cops/firefighters/Marines/martial artists/dealers/patch wearing members. You'd be well advised to chill out a bit, there are people on here who wouldn't hesitate to say whatever they wanted in your face. There is enough trouble without going and looking for it.

LOL.

If he really didn't care then it wouldn't have bothered him in the least, and he wouldn't be trying to do stand-over via the internet.

Which is what brought on more mocking and chuckles.

Anyhow, Your not helping his cause, whatever his cause maybe.

You should be pissed off , there are people that go to court for burglery , assault , stealing bikes , stealing cars ,backing over children in their drive, tourists on the wrong side of the road killing NZ citizens , parents putiing their kids in hospital from a beating who all get a less fine than you in many cases and they are actually a real criminal unlike you whos just a bloke who hasnt squared up his paper work in effect , the law is an ass and the punishment seldom fit the crime , you have my sympathies.
perhaps this is why more young motorists than ever are failing to respect or even stop for police

**caseye** · 22nd April 2009, 18:43

Wow tough talking seems to be the thing around here.So here goes.
You did wrong! both times and so far you haven't learned anything of value.
We've all been where you are and we've all thought the world was against us.
The collective advice from almost everyone here is to suck it up get the bike sorted and get on with life.
But no you threaten to break heads.I'll be available anytime anywhere to let you try if that's seriously what you want to do.
Otherwise my advice is the same as the rest of the members here, get over yourself, get the bike legal and boy if you think riding for 2 years is enough to be competent on a big bike You're way wrong!

That's funny also because he isn't bothered with what people say, and yet more hateful rude comments are posted on this thread. So why would a person still post a rude comment to metalor, this somewhat eludes me(note sarcasm).

That's pretty self explanatory.
And who gave me the red rep, thats totally uncalled for. In no way was i crying a river for metalor, and i wasnt offending anyone else.

Hell, I'm a fucking hairdresser and even I'd laugh in his face.

Yet ANOTHER $800 fine. And what's worse it is from the SAME cop who gave me the first $800 fine! Must have it in for me.

So yea, I've decided to save up a bit of cash over the next month or so and get something bigger. Sitting my restricted either in the weekend or next week so at least I'll have that.

My question is.... anyone got smoething a little bigger for around the $2000 - $2500 mark? Will take me a little while to come up with the cash, got $500 at the moment. can't be fucked spending MORE money on my bike... figured if I''m gonna get fines I might aswell get them riding something bigger. I saw FROSTY's z750 but that's a little out of my price range for now.

I'm fed up.

FUCK, FUCK THE POLICE!!

You're dickhead.

**Morcs** · 22nd April 2009, 18:58

Metalor - I suggest you stop posting, and refrain from making posts like this in the future, save your self the abuse - wether it be deserved or not.

And the rest of you, give him some slack. Ive been there, ive had the pages and pages and pages of you lot calling me a knob, and It doesnt actually help one bit - the last couple of offenses I got, I never made public, didnt get any abuse, less stress and was able to eat some humble pie and pull my head in a lot easier.

Im disqualified and ride on the road. There. that should direct some heat at me. Its cold at the moment

But I have a limited license so

What time were you on the NWern? Did a red maxi-scooter pass you at any stage?

Sorry to hear about your brush with the law, I know it can be hard when you are a student and trying to get enough money together to get a vehicle legal, only to have to spend that money on fines. When I was a uni student my bike was legal, but the poh-lees

man said my speed wasn't

$800 - shit that is a big chunk of change for a poor student. That's pretty harsh.

The VERY first thing he said to me when I said "Hi ya mate" was "where are your L plates" so he obviously knew.

I don't ride like a dick (most of the time). The reason I got the bike in the first place was for convenience... to those of you telling me to catch the bus, it's actaully much MUCH cheaper for me to ride into town than to catch the bus... and I can park at uni. Saves about 2.5 hours in the day aswell.

Anyway, I knew I what I was doing was against the law, just thought he could hav ebeen a nice guy after I explained my situation(just needing a rear tyre as it's just past minimum tread depth and I'm saving). Shit, it's not like I'm hurting anyone, I'm only gonna hurt myself if I come off.

I'm not being a 'tough guy', I'm generally a really nice guy, but I know these pricks wouldn't be laughing in my face in person.

My intention was to tell the story of what happened and ask if anyone knows some cheap bikes for sale cos if I'm gonna pay fines, I might aswell spend do it on a bigger bike.

Didn't appreciate the "you're a cunt, you're a fucking dick" laughing in my face, but fuck it, you guys can be pig headed fucking grandads if you want, cos you all know soooooo much more better than I do.

Arrrrrrr everyone say arrrrr for poor mentalor

**Metalor** · 22nd April 2009, 19:07

CHeers to the people hwo are being reasonable. I said I KNOW I was taking a risk, I got caught. Was wanting a cheap bigger bike, they can just tag those fines on the end too.

I'm not acting macho at all, I said I FALT like cracking some heads because certain peple on here were being utter pricks. Somehow me saying "hey, this happened to me" qualifies for getting abuse hurled at me. That is awesome. It's not like I was beating up some elderly person or anything, just fucked up whilst not hurting anyone. But no, just abuse.

Cheers.

Unfortunately that's how it is. If they got you robbing a house or trying to steal a car you'd have been fine (and not fined).

Was on the north western about 11:50... I know a bigger scooter passed me (and the cop) but I think it was silver.
