    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Damn!

    Well when he wants to do the license thing, I'll have a very smart 250 for him to do his tests on.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I think that was the aim of this thread in the first place - to confirm the KB state of mind on such topics.

    And what is the penalty for operating a vehicle you are not licensed for?

    I'm guessing less than $400 and 25 demerit points - wouldn't that be ironic.

    I suspect that he hasn't thought any of it through very well, to be honest. Probably more of a "monkey sees, monkey wants, monkey buys" (and that's not to take anything away from your mate, I do that shit myself...).

    Let's just hope he doesn't make any mistakes, that noone else makes a mistake anywhere near him and that noone wants to steal a monster.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    They are extremely dangerous. They even have that "I want to kill your babies" look to them.

    Nope, forbidden to drive and judge's discretion about seizing the vehicle.

    Exactly.

    Like I said in my first post, I'm not moralising at him.

    I'm genuinely interested in how all y'all think this will go. It's a truism that learners shouldn't ride big fast bikes, but how much of a problem is that, really?

    Driving with an expired driver licence, or without a licence that applies to the vehicle being driven; driving contrary to the conditions of the licence; failure to produce licence to enforcement officer without delay when requested; failure to surrender driver licence when suspended, revoked, disqualified or superseded. [sect 31] A fine not exceeding $1,000

    And, as far as I'm aware, at that point, you get issued with a 'forbidden to drive' notice, which means that if you get pulled over doing the same thing again, the vehicle can be impounded at the roadside.

    Edit: As Jimmy Doose said, they can theoretically impound the bike as soon as he's pulled over for riding without a licence. Generally they don't for a first offence, though.

    ?Is that the important bit, whos spends the most on a bike..Sports bikes stepping out may have something to do with the front end weight bias and the fact that you lean forward on a sports bike.All that stepping out is controlled by the right hand you know

    Noooo, that doesn't sound right at all. You obviously have no idea what you're on about.
