    mom... how young is young? ive been riding since i was about 20... started learning at 18 [buggered off overseas and continued the education from the pillion seat] im now 22, and have travelled as far north as paeroa, and as far south as invercargill. some 20,000k if not more.
    in those k's, ive been hit once, which was not my fault [she ran a stop sign] and have gone off the road once, which was a combo of my fault, and the guy in front of me's fault for overtaking on a corner.
    i learned from both. the first: approach intersections with caution, and the second: dont ride with that guy!
    somehow ive managed to go all that distance without a single ticket or raised brow from a cop. it aint hard.
    I hear where you are coming from, and appreciate several points that you have made in your post. Let me comment on just a few things:

    1 - Have you met Mark? He is one A.D.D. dude, heaps of energy, always keen to chat and overall a pretty friendly bloke. Now I know you didn't attack his personality, so please don't see this as a rebuke in that regard, merely that those of us who have met him, know there is more to him than a KB log in name. And yes, as I have said, he has a lot to learn, and I as much as others have heard this and that from him and given him a go when he has done something stupid. But a rebuke and 'haha told you so' are two different things.

    2- You have clocked up some good kms on your bike, genuinely, well done. Also appreciate, in my riding experience I have now done 30-40000kms and am on the verge of having my vehicle piloting card removed if I get one more reasonable size fine. There are also MANY MANY others on here who have lost licences for excessive speed, demerits etc. Let those of us be the last to throw stones.
    I ride pretty fast when I am in the mood, however I do NOT cross the centerline dangerously, ride within 80% of my ability on the road or ride as a menace to other cars or bikes. Thus I defend the position that clocking up speeding fines equates to 'bad' or dangerous riding. But riding for me wouldn't be much fun without the odd little blat, stoppie or wheelie...the key being that the time and the place is everything, and if I get stung, well that is on me. I suspect many sportsbike riders are very similar and some more extreme, and that Mark is one of these. He still needs to learn the time and place bit however!
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    Good luck with it dude. Sad to see someone getting done for trying to help.

    My mate called the cops when he got assaulted by a bouncer and ended up in jail 4 the night. That made a good story

    What part of it did they consider dangerous?

    After he's got his bike back, Id say a month at the max. ( in regards to losing licence.)
    lol
    no offence mark, good luck in the court or wat ever happens, sounds like a lot of people have got it in for you. lol.
    cheer up.
    i thought the world ended once too.
    it was fine three days later once i knew what was happening and had a plan.
    lol.
    anyway. maybe its time to just relax your riding into something a little less extreme at least around town? lol
    good luck bro.

    Just a suggestion

    If you are trying to say you were not driving dangerousley or not guilty......
    Then dont you think that the pictures of you doing mad stoppies, on public roads, on your kb profile are a little bit of a contradiction??????????

    I Guess there are a few people trying to tell you to drive safer on the roads?
    How many times now?

    But bro I hope you get it all sorted and can USE this as the big learning experience it could be.

    How much do you think they could sell your bike for. Dont worry If i get it at auction I'll put 50% on it and sell it back to you. lol

    I think you mean private carpark... if it was closed off, that Toyota Prius wouldn't have been there...

    Private carpark defines a business carpark that is not part of the public road system... closed off defines a carpark that the entry/exit has been locked off so no traffic can either exit or enter the property without permission (normally written), and/or a key to a gate... which one was it Mark?

    Right I have just spent an hour of my time moving rubbish from this thread to PD.

    I dont care if you agree or disagree with someone on KB, the site rules are pretty clear on abuse, its not on.

    2 mods asked for people to stop abusing last night, you guys just carried on... so unfortunately I have issued a few infractions today.

    Keep this thread clean please! If you think Mark is an arse (or anyone else for that matter), take it off the site please.

    If you need a reminder of the site rules, please go to site stuff and read them.

    Yeah, funny that! Mark might be a hopeless idiot, but he's bloody great entertainment value. I don't think I've ever come across anyone whose life is such an ongoing saga of drama and distress. His actions, and the endless succession of bizarre event's in the boy's life both mystify and amuse me no end. He's the best bad example I can think of, and a shining example of what never to aspire to.
    "Safety Cameras" Yeah, right!

    anybody able to enlighten?

    I dont think you can take diversion on a traffic offence, or at least not with a term of imprisonment as a penalty.

    You were formally arrested ? Was it pretty serious or did you give them some lip ?
