I dont believe what the Police are doing will make much difference and I suspect at a ground level neither do they. BUT its going to be done, a box has been ticked so find a way to deal with it.

This stuff has happened before it will happen again. Just pull our collective heads in a little bit or of course the other option is to rant an rave here. Either will have the same effect.

Anyone got a problem with that?

The only problem I see is that it suggests to people that they are okay to let their reg lapse, as the Popo will let them update it when they get stopped. There used to be an advantage in that, but with continuous vehicle lecensing that advantage has disappeared.

Please could you make more of an effort not to be so reasonable? You will shatter long held illusions of far to many people on here otherwise.

Anyone else remember a shouty little man bouncing up and down on a radio interview a couple of months ago telling anyone who would listen just how many riders had put their rego's on hold?

Cause and effect.

Much to the disappointment of some on here, I liked them and what they were saying and how they said it.

Your trolling used to be of much better quality. New dealer?

I agree - human beings can pretty well justify anything and there should always be room for debate and an exchange of views. You did ask where the passion was and I let you know where mine hides.

My observation over a longer period tells me that many people that go at riding hammer and tongs only do so briefly. They cause maximum damage and minimal gain. I observed this during the R5/RD350 days till now.

Ouch. On the other hand I've found most women prefer a man that can last the distance Drew and is in no hurry to get there. I'd heard you were fast

We all filter the info because we all look at life through a unique lens built on our own 'lived life'. Hopefully these exchanges offer a chance for us to consider other points of view. Yes, I can be a bit one sided, I suppose because I'm passionate.

And it's not like it was ever razor sharp.

Cause and effect.

thing is the proportion of bikes on hold isn't significantly higher than last year anyway (as of a few months ago). Maybe in a year when those who topped up before the increase run out it'll be a different story though.

Sorry, according to the shouty little man on the radio it was a huge amount. It must be true if it was on the radio and said by a "fully sanctioned" spokeperson for motorcyclists.
