Title: Wtf ,We've Been doing it wrong
Post by: FIFO on August 02, 2013, 12:33:26 AM
I guess the rules vary from state to state . :-\

The latest from the National Transport Commission, trying standardize the rules across the country. ???

*To allow a rider to remove his/her feet from the footrest to
manoeuvre the vehicle, such as reversing the bike into a parking space


So now i can reverse park with out having to balance. :D
still can't legally remove your feet from the foot peg to stretch your legs, while moving over 10 klm/r  :'(

*Allow to remove both  hands of the handle bars while stationary but not parked

But at least you can scratch your nuts while waiting at the lights  :-*
or for the ladies,  adjust your  Boobies probably need two hands for that  [roll]


NTC Road rules amendment

Rule 271
â€"
riding on motorbikes: to allow a rider to remove his/her feet from the footrest to
manoeuvre the vehicle, such as reversing the bike into a parking space, or when the motor
bike (at low speed <10km/h) is decelerating to come to a rest, or accelerating from a rest.

To further allow a rider to remove both hands off the handlebars when the bike is stationary
but not parked.

Really?  So I will have to stop doing my 180km/h somersaults off the bike then now that I know it is illegal to take my feet off the pegs
