So you don't want me to pick you up on the way to work then?

You get to ride pillion, I know how much you love riding on the back of my bike

I can't believe you volunteer this information. He's a Honda owner. He'll jump on and give you a reach around

Wanpo... wasn't sure how far away from work you were, if you needed to travel etc (which I did). Looks like them walking shoes gonna get comfortable, but depending on circumstances, Christmas might be the best time?

I went through something similiar last year. I was still on a restricted car license after years and years, and a police car was following me, saw my personalised plate, and decided to run it. Saw it was a restricted, and that it was 11 at night, so pulled me over. Gave me a small fine, but in addition to two prior speeding fines, would put me over 100. I couldnt delay the fine long enough, so I sat my full within a week of the fine and wrote in, and asked if there was an exception given my age and experience.

Still lost my license for 3 months =/

Btw they have to come to your door to take your license, so you can always delay them taking it by not being home if you want your license over xmas/NYs

So what happens if innocent ol'Wanpo is rocking around on the bike and he suddenly gets pulled by another popo?

Does that mean the bike gets left on the side of the road while he gets a free ride?

Anyhow, gale_wolf will be having the use of my Big Ol'Hornet - and its very good for pillioning large hairy bikers around!

The padawan has grown strong and wise in the ways of the Force ... better, this is! The ownership, responsibility he shows, hmmm?

Yeah called this morning, the 50 demerits wouldn't expire until april, so that's out.

Nah, wouldn't want to put anyone out, and running in will get me a bit fitter (gain a bit more power:weight and help with the LeMans starts)
(Although I may jump on for the occasional swarm ride)

Yeah, I'd say 4 months of not being home would be pushing it.
I'm more inclined to pay as soon as possible and get it over and done with.
(Almost looking forward to the feeling of jumping back on at the end of 3 months of not riding it)

**gale_wolf** · 2nd December 2011, 18:20

3 months of not riding on the road but doing every track day you possibly can, right?

I think that we should have added water wings for these boys today .......

Ginny time today

**Interceptor** · 5th December 2011, 21:09

Sorry I missed the ride tonight, crazy day at work and there was no way I was going to manage to get our boy from daycare in Parnell to home in Pt Chev, then get the gear and bike ready to be in downtown by 630pm. Looks like it was a nice evening too!

It was great timing though to pass by you guys in the car on the way home

**gijoe1313** · 5th December 2011, 21:44

Good riding, good eating, good drinking ... but don't know if the company was good!

Was interesting to see Wanpo do battle with the mighty ginny! Thanks to TOTO for the drinkies, helped quenched a mighty thirst when you are spannering in the pits!
