Whats The Fine

[pocketrocketgrom]

After getting my new bike i have been stressing over the fines for riding my bike on the streets... Would anyone know what the fines are in Queensland or new South Wales

[barnsey]

the answer is simple dont ride on the streets get your self to a track!
im sure the fines would be a few hundred $$ and maby take the bike to

Take it to the butterfly farm and ride it on the track ...

Streets arent worth it, you get hassled not only by the police but neighbours that don't like the bikes, not to mention cars etc

save yourself the hassle fines you would start to get would be:

1.) unlicensed
2.) unregistered
3.) i think it's 6 or 4 points from any license you hold

How many bikes did you get done for ????

the most in fines (from memory due to my idiot brother taking his racing go kart for a spin around the block) and being chased by the police (funny as hell) was $195.00

It depends on the cops who fine you here in NSW they can fine you for unregistered, uninsured, un-roadworthy , unlicensed if you dont have a license or loss of license or demerit points, as well as anything else they can think of if they are in a bad mood

Most states would be much the same & fines can go well over the $1000 mark with suspension of your license
Its just not worth it & there is the added danger a car wont see you & run over the top of you

SirHSV your brother just got lucky they must have been in a good mood & had a good laugh so they decided to give him a break

Speeding
Unroadworthy vehicle
Unregistered vehicle
Unlicensed for the vehicle (no license exists for a pocket bike therefore you are unlicensed)
Shall we continue ? Maximum fine is $2000+ and your bike will likely be confiscated on the spot.
Don't ride on the streets.

The funny things about mids and choppers are, according to the RTA website these bikes cannot be registered as they do not (according to the RTA) have a frame (chassis) number, all mids and choppers i have seen have a frame/vin/chassis number... talk about politics

In QLD though, mid choppers are road legal and do run!, theres a tour place that allows you to hire these mid rockets and cruise the coast ... so dont know, NSW rules suck...
