Yes well that happened in our household recently. 'cept it was P plates.

I wasn't going to wear it! Not the way I ride. I think I have 12 points. I could lose them all in one foul swoop.

Which explains, exactly, why I no longer ride.

Gidday,

I don't think you ride these K1200 R machines.

You just hang the F@%k on and pucker the ass cheeks tight.

I'll tell ya tomoz!
The R100RS is spec 'n span ready for the rwc inspection Friday and the paperwork for the West Gippsland Vehicle Restorers Club is done. That'll get sorted after the rwc, then with a bit of luck I can collect club plates in the afternoon. Rego runs out on Friday for the R100RS so timing is just right.
I think I'll go for the 45 day option. Much better than $646.

Last I checked for nsw club plates, you can only go on organised club rides.
With dudes in high vis jackets.
And not allowed to pass the leader.

That's gonna work.
