    Not at all. I respond to Snowflakes when they make stuuuuupid posts in my threads. They are fair game Having them in the Pink room is a bonus for everyone on KB. Let's see those bitches squeal.

    It's that time of the year again, fair weather riders bringing their bikes out of the shed and doing that first ride of the new season.

    In the past few weeks, seen a few offs and some near misses. Rusty habits, slower responses than would be ideal. Dodgy apparel matched by dodgy riding.

    This morning was somewhat typical of the problem we see each year.
    Middle aged chap on a lovely ST1100 at the tyre pump that I walked past to go into servo shop. Complimented the lovely condition of the bike, got talking to him briefly. Turns out he'd only bought it recently and still getting used to it. Tyres old and grey, consistent with the line of bike having been unused for some time, the cracking to the extent where I wouldn't ride on them. Date code showed tyres 13 years old, so yep this bike had been sitting unused for a long time alright. Chap was adamant tyres ok, still plenty of tread left...it was obvious nothing I was gonna say would make any difference, so left him to it.

    Hey, I was in trucker training mode anyway, that has its own challenges

    Question for you guys - if someone doesn't have a full motorcycle license can they still purchase a non restricted bike (ie Gsxr 1000 for example)?

    Is their only a restriction that you can’t ride them on public roads but not on purchasing?

    (If they may want a track bike or practise in a private carpark etc).

    Yeah a few bikes out yesterday when I went on a wee ride. On some rather narrow, tight country back roads caught up with a chap riding along on a fully kitted out large capacity v-twin thingy, they all look the same. You know large crash bars, bags, high/wide handle bars and large screen. Of course the ensemble wouldn't be complete without tassles. The rider wearing sleak black leathers Followed him for bit while he steered around the tight corners then zipped past on the XF650 on a bit of a straight. About 5/6kms down the road I stopped at an intersection and waited for him to show up. When he eventual got there I waved to him and he waved back to me with a smile on his face . Then we both went our merry ways both enjoying a nice outing on our machines.. Him towards Dannevirke and me to Pamly. Best run ever through the Saddle Road since last christmas with traffic skooting along at 60kph or more. No trucks you see

    That's what the generation before them said, and the generation before them, and before them and before them etc... and you sound just as dumb as them too. The economy needs to go in the opposite direction numbnuts, else there won't be much of an economy left for generations to come given that ramping up production will see us use more than the 1.7 sustainable planets we use each year. Your technological efficiency drive is going to destroy even more resources than we do at the moment. Maybe you found another planet down the back of the couch? More likely you're just another sucker that'll grow into being an even bigger sucker as the years go by, just as pretty much all of our forebears are and were... you kids ain;t no different in the slightest... that you think you are shows just how fucktarded your education has been to date.

    Remember though, I love you, so does Jesus and Dave, so there is hope that you might not repeat our mistakes... albeit highly unlikely given the list of trite platitudes scribbled out above, because almost every generation before us had those goals given that you can actually see that implementation. Yet lo, the kids will reinvent the wheel and show the adults, who have far far far more experience in general, how to communicate and manage themselves effectively.

    You're looking the wrong way, but that's ok, so is almost everyone else so no one will notice
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    So you are admitting you are the same as us. Well done Luv.

    Admition is the first step in a twelve step process. You'll get there over time. May take decades though.

    Yes they can. They might not get finance for the bike (depending on the lender) but otherwise it's open season.

    Purchase is the easy bit. If the Motorcycle is registered to a person without a full license, they (an unlicensed rider) may (or may not) get caught out by a random reg check by patrolling plod if ridden on public roads ... or if stopped for a traffic offense. They usually know the owners details before the red & blues come on. Even with a licensed rider at the controls ... they can expect to be stopped if the registered owner has not got a full license.

    I have never heard of anyone prevented from buying a motorcycle (privately or through a dealer) they weren't licensed to ride.

    As for Insurance ... even that may vary. They may even sell you insurance ... even knowing under the terms and conditions of the insurance ... your claim will (may) not be accepted.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
