Defected! Now, what to do???

Thing is I,m worried now.I know for a fact mine is illegal as I bought it of a Queenslander and when I asked him why he was selling it he quoted the exact same infringment that they got Jamie on :(

Well, my advice is not to park the bike at local hang out spots, where bikes arte known to park in groups...sitting duck syndrome +1000!

:eek:
 
Thanks.
I just can't believe that he was writing the ticket without you there !

I might just put my factory fender back on and be done with it .

How'd I miss this thread? So Jamie, on first glance, I thought you'd left for the U.S.!?!? :D Defected! ;)

I'd have to ask this of you... the first time was a "fix it" ticket. What's the next infraction cost? That would be my deciding factor....

Will find that out when i ring the Inspection centre to book my inspection, and yes that will have a major bearing on how i deal with this issue on a permanent basis!

:thumbup:
 
Oh Humps, once a Queenslander, always a Queenslander.....Bundy Stickers! Yeah right! Jack Daniels stickers....maybe, but Biundy stickers, never.

As for the Mudguard, was thinking of just getting a piece of black plastic, and screwing it to the number plate!

This is so stupid, it defies logic, why? I have seen at least 20 cars since Sunday, without mudguards, oh and a few trucks....go figure!

:confused:

HAHAHA , had to do it , had to..... Im just as confused as you are on this matter , especially when all police vehicles have their mudflaps removed :eek: !!!!!!!!
 
They got different laws for coppers mate,they can even legally use a mobile while driving :eek:

And they can speed without lights flashing too... I know, because I was following one the other day, was doing about 72 in a 60 zone... Salisbury Highway.

He must have had other things on his mind, there was about 10 of us, all cruising along behind him and all doing the same speed.

:)
 
Ok, just got back from the Cop shop, andbooking my bike in for inspection.

Inspection is not till the end of this month, but as i dropped into the Cop shop to show that i have "fixed" the "problem" , they stamped my defect notice, which means i can ride the bike up until the inspection!

Not crazy about running around on a bike with OEM cans, that is Dynotuned with power commander for a completely different exhaust....but hey at least i can ride..which at the moment, is a miracle anyway!

Also found out that only having one mirror is a $300+ fine, and that Rego discs do have to be visible...if they have to go looking for the disc, it is a $150 fine.

:(

Make a backup of the map and load a stock/zero map for the time being?
:D

Cops here will speed no matter what. For lights/siren it has to be a code 3 call, or pursuit/traffic stop, but sometimes a code 2 call still needs fast response.

One night I passed a couple cops who were doing atleast 60mph on a 30mph street with no lights. After 11pm though the streets are dead in my city.

I did think of doing that, but cant be bothered at this point. Riding around with the OEM cans back on the bike, is about as inspiring as watching an hour of Oprah anyway!

As it is, with my leg still in a pretty bad way, i am not exactly riding the wheels off the thing right now anyway.

Have to take the Power Commander off for the inspection. Might just leave things as they are till i get through the inspection, and wait till i can put my TB's back on.

Right now, to quote the infamous Mulder from the X-Files...."i am just sick of all the BS & Double Talk!"

:shakehead::mad::banghead::surrender:

Haha, noted. But I'd still make a backup of the map if you haven't already.

Don't have to go looking for mine. Just have to ask for it:thumbup:...lol....'cause when i have it displayed on the bike cops are tempted to turn it to look at it which loosens and loses the $7ea bolts holding the hugger/chain guard. This is not a hypothetical scenario:(.

The tax payers have provided them with you bute terminals to check rego and licensing info while rolling. Having a rego disc on the bike shouldn't make a scrap of difference unless they require an excuse to drive up beside you for a while looking at the side of your bike and cutting off an escape route should somebody do something dumb in front of you.

As for speeding cops, I wish I had my camera mounted today. I don't care what sort of call they get, they either need to match traffic or they need to have sirens and lights to let people know they're not doing what is expected of traffic at that time.

And whatdoyamean the stock pipes are not inspiring?...lol...Awesome sound coming out of those babies:rockon::rockon::rockon::D

Cheers

I knew you would say something...sorry Mike, my bike felt like a little puppy dog, rather than a fire breathing beast today! Lol, they did'nt even have time to get out the red carpet at Yammie World today!

:eek:
