Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

I suppose a few in here who also ride dirt squirts may have seen these, but I thought I'd post it just in case. Watch out for orange bikes behind you!!!

I've seen dirtbike Police around cranbourne area, on gravel roads. But honestly what/who do they expect to catch?

Well Andi, they expect to catch both unregistered bikes and unlicensed riders as well as pwople utilising incorrect areas to ride. Believe me from experience too, they can steer a bit good !!!

But aren't dirtbikes don't need to be registered if they were ridden off-road ?

Don't know 'bout the rest of oz but here in Tas you need RV rego to ride anywhere but on privite property Oh and the fines aren't cheap if you get caught

they use them on University campuses etc.

I've seen sydney cops on Suzuki dirtbikes at uni.

I think to ride on designated tracks Andi they still need recreational registration as well as lights and horn. Also around the Cranny area I have little doubt there's proably a shitload of 12-16yo types riding around the area illegally, I know I did it when I was a kid in Geelong

they use Kawasaki's out here in the Hawkesbury....

Is that so. I meet so many trail bikes around Marysville and Noojee with no number plates. They often ride on the road abit and then dissapear into the woods. Looks like heaps of fun. Covered in mud most of the time.

Definitely need rec reg to ride anywhere other than private property here in Vic. Even the Polaris quad should be rec reg'ed.

Even though the plate is supposed to be visible from the rear of the bike, I've seen blokes out at Toolangi/Narbethong with the rego plate and the rego sticker stuffed down behind the instruments.

yea years ago the nsw cops ran around on xr400's around maq pass etc chasing the idiots in the bush...
