Qld to get LAMs!

Truly ? Blimey I wouldn't have expected that - I know they're heavy but
I didn't think it was that bad !! Hmmm, if an ST passes then a Goldwing
would pass too - hehe - anyone seen an L plate on a goldwing in the ACT
yet ?

JL

 

Not a goldwing, but I did see a Harley with an "L" plate near the airport

 

All Goldwings should have L plates.

(Loser Plates)

 

It's 600cc + 10% GST.

Seen heaps on hogs, dunno wings are a bike a learner fantasises
about...

ACT.

Leadwing Plates?

We have a three of people at work would love to get into bikes, but
the 250 thing is a problem for the one that is 180cms and more of a
problem for the 190 cm guy, The third guy is 155 so has the opposite
problem.

I've emailed DPI and asked them why not and when. (for the non-WAers,
that's Dept of Planning and Infrastructure, who handle that stuff in
WA).

What is their problem?

Yeah I know the Hogly Ferguson is a popular learner bike in the ACT -
but I'd love to see a learner on a goldwing

(although I suspect a carpark crash would be imminent)

 

I don't let the workers in the tower.

Response from DPI, They're not even thinking about it.

Dear Theo

Thank you for your enquiry.

TheWestern Australia state government is always discussing legislation
that benefits the Western Australian community more. However it is not
currently considering implementing the 'Learner Approved Motorcycle
Scheme'.

Sounds like time for a little lobbying. Point out how far out of step
they are with the rest of Aus, etc..

Any of the gubiment in marginal seats? Could be worth targeting?

Next election is years away.

Is it really that big a deal?

If you believe anyone who tries to convince you that a motorcycling
issue will win or lose enough electoral votes to make a difference, I
have a bridge for sale at bargain price
