    my old XW falcon wagon weighed more than a modern hilux surf etc, and handled twice as bad. i managed to never kill anybody with it, and i didnt have an endorsement, fark i should buy a lotto ticket.

    far more reason to ban those enormous SUVs methinks - especially if they are driven by (enter the name of your idiot-driver-group of choice here]

    Suzuki Vitara= 1200kg
    Toyota Prado=1800kg.
    Holden Commodore=1700kg
    And the Commodore isn't the heaviest out there, just popular like the Prado and Vitara.

    The EU & in particular the French tried to restrict power for big bikes etc, back in the 90's, it all blows over in the end when the politicians loose credibility, it is just popularist fizz.

    You're the only one here to suggest we ban SUV's. Maybe you should calm down, take a breath, and read people's posts with a little more consideration for what they're really saying.

    lets hope hes not like that fuckin bitch who told us we can't discipline our kids with a flick over the ear..man, i'm pissed about that. how much you wanna bet he doesn't have a bike, has never been on one, has had some kind of run-in with a biker at some point in his life (which was probably his own fault), and has no penis.
    last one is just there cos its fun to accuse someone of having no penis. no-one takes it well..
    personally..the whole idea can get fucked. i JUST bought my TL1000S and there's no fuckin way i'm getting rid of it any time soon..

    no, apparently you just need a HT and dangerous goods licence to operate one.

    Are HTs contagious? Like the STD I got from my boyfriend?
