"And it was going so well...."

Can't hurt. You could probably get Rev. Auvache to do the job for sixpence
or so.

 

to be fair, none of the four offences were susceptible to
"Discretion".

Two-up without L plates is pretty cut and dried; and no brakes, and a
seat that fell off when plod touched it, were fairly easy nicks, too.

 

That's good going

Did anyone else manage to get points while still a learner?

 

Points? Fucking points?

This was proper endorsements: not yer manky, namby-pamby, points
nonsense.

 

I managed to find myself in the position of zero endorsements, but
banned. Not while a learner, admittedly.

 

No, I'm ginger and wind resistance is the least of the challenges I've
had to overcome, plus I'm a lot smaller than el verdo.

That said, 145 isn't comfortable and can't be maintained... the bike
will do more, I won't.

Being smug at work that the release went OK.

That was about five hours before the database server threw a CPU.

 

Lady Nina says...

I wasn't a learner for long enough

 

No but I got pinched for speeding less than a week after passing my
driving test. I hadn't even sent the pass certificate off.

 

I was thinking of you as the only real challenger to what I said!

My question, of course, is why do you still have the box?

 

Thanks, but I'm going to Sheffield this weekend so won't be able to.

 

Yebbut then you had a lot more elders

 

It's ok. I can take a hint ;o)

 

Timo Geusch grabbed the crayons and scrawled

Have they not realised your 'special' powers at work yet?

Well, unlike the rest of them posting to this thread I never got caught.

Sixpence? A whole weeks's money for 5 minutes work, yerron.

 

Ben Blaney says...

You should ask Platy about SOBeemers, he could tell at least 3 tales.

Actually, I don't have the box any more. I lobbed it in with all the RD
spares I sold a couple of years ago. I kept the box that long to remind
me of just how stupid it would be to buy yet another RD400, but when the
opportunities arose I could never hold myself back from buying them.

They are addictive.

 

PeterT scribbled on the back of a napkin:

They probably noticed I'm good at debugging code.

Not sure if they've figured out why

 

I snapped both exhaust pushrods on my 750 Bonneville, however it
wouldn't limp home ;-) and I was towed for 4-5 miles by a GT185.

 

Like those Screwfix catalogues, eh?
