Cheering. I've learnt my lesson though. Thank god the judge was a good bloke.

 

[cranga]

Well done! Thats pretty good. Similar fine to being caught riding in the state forests!

I'm 20 mate. No criminal record.

1st offense

Unlicensed.
No Rego
No Helmet
No Insurance.

Pleaded Guilty.

[Napper85]

I'll also add these facts. Which may/may not have been taken into account.

Represented myself. No Solicitor.

Never been licensed.

Never had a criminal record.

Police stated that "accused stop when directed"

Stated i was actively trying to sell my bike. I've now decided not to sell it. But learnt my lesson. Never ride in an illegal area/Road again.

---------------------------------

I only just found out that.

125cc Pitbikes are classed as a registerable motor vehicle. Even though they do not pass Australian Standards, Anything over 60cc is legally a registerable motor vehicle.
-------------------

Be careful fellas. Hopefully you don't make the same mistake i did.

Bloody chain! Pretty expensive don't you think. No-one would believe me a snapped chain would cost me $467. Haha.

so had you of been lisenced to ride a motorbike and been wearing a helmet would the fines have been less? Or would they take the approach the you would have been more informed that what you were doing was illegal?

Tough one really. Probably would have just suspended my license for a coupel months and got a smaller fine.

 

[Napper85]

Haha. My mate just got done today. Hasn't started his bike in a while. He started it, rode up the lane. And the coppers were sitting in their cars in a Unit. $1500 On the spot!

Jeez i was lucky.

 

[NIGHT RIDER]

damn man thats sucks i always ride my bike in lanes and in parks. where abouts in sydney do u live. oh and if u get busted when you have a car licence its possible that they can suspend your car license huh. coz im goin for my l's soon and im worried that once i get them, if i get caught they will ban me or something. so i just want to know if thats connected with ur licence.

 

[NIGHT RIDER]

yeah it isnt worth it man coz if u get caught agen then ur really up the creek without a paddle. lol. i wish i had a trailer so i can take it around but my only option is the street so ill just have to hope i dont get caught lol.
