This close friend of mine recently had his license suspended, except for occupational privileges. He just bought a new MultiStrada and is trying to decide to keep or sell it. Since he can't legally ride the bike, it would just be in the garage gathering dust. Once he does get his license he would have to drive it like a senior citizen, which he is not capable of doing and risk further retribution. I told him to keep it, but I told him I would turn to the great wisdom of the RATS for there advice.

Sell it and build a 'Special', it'll keep him occupied and attached to motorcycling without threat to his license, until such a time that he's free and clear - if there is ever such a time. Or buy a track bike and go racing. :razz:

I agree with Trypcil. Or tear it down and powder coat the
frame----that would keep him busy for a while.

Since you're asking members of the hooligan forum, I think the appropriate response is, RIDE IT ANYWAY and DON'T STOP FOR THE POLICE!
