Gotta feel sorry for him. :rolleyes
My son, passed his CBT, started riding his CBF125 in March (proud Dad & Mum) and was doing quite well 'till yesterday.
Fell off in rain at low speed on a roundabout, no injury, minimal damage.
Limped home with forks twisted in yokes and bent bars.
Straightened out easy enough, then he opened a brown envelope with this........

Cried? :'( I nearly PMSL. :lol
Steep learning curve innit. Poor bugger!
-
Poor kid lol
But he's earned his badass biker stripes in my book :smokin :thumbup
-
sorry, is he not allowed in the bus lane?
is that push bike painted on the ground then?
-
Hi Skipper, it's a pedal cycle 'icon' painted on the raodway, but my sons left mirror makes it look like a crash helmet is also painted on the floor. Just the photo angle unfortunately otherwise I'd have been straight onto the council!
-
Check the signposts as they may allow motorbikes in he lane too. Also, it's not unheard of for he cnuts to send out a postal fine foe a time of the day when the lane is non operational.
-
I feel sorry for the lad hope he gets away with it but i bet you pay the fine if he doesnt haha.
-
Looks like he was caught by this camera: http://goo.gl/maps/TS81R (http://goo.gl/maps/TS81R) Kids eh!
-
GUILTY!!!! :lol
poor boy, must learn to read.
Stupid rule though.
-
Looks like he's wearing plimmys !!! WTF :(
-
:lol id argue with it as it says bicycle in my road tax renewal form and its onlt a 125cc not much faster than a push bike either hehe
-
I think someone on here posted a reference to that argument on a you tube clip a while ago. The clip showed the rider trying to argue that case with a police officer who stopped him in a bus lane, the rider even had his log book to hand in anticipation of being stopped. (admittedly it was a bigger bike but the principle was the same)..needless to say he lost the argument and got a penalty. :\
-
Yeah, by the letter of the law its a motor vehicle unfortunately, not a bicycle. Anything powered by steam, electric, petrol, diesel, oil, or gas is a motor vehicle. Taxation class always pops up as bicycle, and is a bit of a bone of contention with riders/cops. Its a bit misleading, and badly worded!:-\

How does that fit in with some of these electrically assisted pushbikes then?
-
I assume they should be fine as they don't have a registration plate - no where to send a fine to :P

I assume the word 'assisted' is the key there. It still has pedal propulsion as its primary power.
