The only thing missing from this thread is what bike everyone rides! Scot your sig says you have a 2009 Ninja 250R. I have the 08 650R (as seen in my avatar) and love it to bits I am away next weekend but would be keen on going on rides at othertimes. BTW: Drop the L plate and don't, I repeat don't do 70 on the motorway. Either avoid it or do 100 km/h, death awaits you otherwise. Finally the only real quesion missing from this thread, do you wave ;p pɐǝɥ sıɥ uo ƃuıpuɐʇs

Finally the only real quesion missing from this thread, do you wave ;p Just got my real licence, blue ewwwwwwwwww. The $400 and 25 demerits for no L plate is quite a deterrent!<br> <br> I most definately do not sit on 70km/h, that is a death wish :-) Wave / raise head depending on the situation, sure do. That was one of the first things I noticed on my first road ride, just about every other biker waves or acknowledges you in some way.

scottjpalmer: Just got my real licence, blue ewwwwwwwwww. The $400 and 25 demerits for no L plate is quite a deterrent! Indeed it is, never heard of any bikers actaully getting the fine tho. The L plate seems to induce some form of red mist on cage drivers and they attempt to hunt you down even more than usual. Take a look at www.kiwibiker.co.nz for rides, general advice and the usual forum crap stirring pɐǝɥ sıɥ uo ƃuıpuɐʇs
