First speeding ticket

[The Singing Chef]

On the way back up from Tauranga to Auckland was coming up to a crest doing around 140ish and a cop came over the top managed to get down to 119 when he tagged me. Phew! Was a nice enough cop though, said there had been a serious motorcycle crash up miranda ways, anyone hear about that? Did'nt seem to notice the lack of L plate which was a good thing

Unfortunately adding to the fine i already have :-( just glad he didn't catch me doing 160 round some of the nice sweepers. Guess it will keep my head in check for now though..

Might wanna take it a bit easier from now on in

my thoughts exactly, damn those boring long stretches

Try music.
How long have you been riding?

There's heaps of cops everywhere at the mo. I guess the 4km/h tolerance doesn't affect your outcome. Probably just another reminder to be wary of cops when approaching the crest of a hill 160km/h on a 250 on your L plate...

[The Singing Chef]

had that too, and 5 months

yea there's heaps, and was only 120 coming to the hill, 160 for the long corners. Fair to say i have learnt my lesson though

to be fair at 119 you are 49 kms over your 70km/h limit so you are damn lucky not to be walking for 30 days bro. How many demerits are you on now ?

[mattian]

So what's the damage? (fine) and how many demerits?

[The Singing Chef]

Was 100km/h zone so only 19 over, and $120 fine and 20 demerits

Have the fuckers put the fines up? It was only $80 when I got ticketed at 112kmh 18 months ago.

As I recall ... up to 10 km's over - $80 ... then $120 - for the next lot ...

My first - 113km/h - came with $120 and some demerits. She was coming the other way so must have done >130km/h to catch up to me the way she did.

Biggest bastard was the $600 extra excess on my insurance for the next bike, for having had any speeding tickets at all. Thanks Kiwibiker! That'll teach me to be honest.
