.. but Rossi mate I thought you did OK not crashing in the Rally of NZ so you shouldn't fear rallies any more. You don't have an L plate on your M1 so why on the Rebel? Is Colin Edwards going with you I hear he likes his beer?

I would be very wary of patched KB'r gang members, your bike will probably end up on the bonfire and you could even end up pregnant or pissed.

Go, enjoy yourself. There's no problem with 'L' plates at rallies, done it a few times myself.

And have a couple of beers for me, since I won't be making it.

As for the L plate... wear it with pride...

Interesting looking Rebel, can't say I've seen one that colour before.

Wow, them be fighting words...

Anyone that gives a rider grief about an L plate is a dickhead and while (unfortunately) the worl is full of dickheads you should not be concerned about their opinions... Ride - enjoy

Hey I was just the same, went to the Brass for three years on me own, just meandering around and chattin to whoever... thats what it is all about uh.
And every rally I have been to since, you can see there are plenty of people in the same boat.
