Thread: Carrying firearms on motorbike

Used to just sling mine diagonally and off I went, no knarly tracks or the barrel would catch when you lent forward and ducked.

Not sure on legality? don't see why not. ( my local cop was a good bugger when I was a kid, motorcross bike on grass verge bout 40kph in 6th to keep the noise right down and as soon as I hit the gravel (about 800m) was wide full open till I got where I was going) not a problem as long as I was quiet around the houses and wore a helmet.

No licence of any sort so I guess that bit wouldn't be tolerated anymore

I travelled all around South island with mine just slung diagonally no gun bag. Was stopped once in North Island and checked that the bolt was out and sent on my way. Stopped on the way back in Picton while waiting for the ferry and it was suggested that I leave it at the police station untill the sailing ( I didn't ).Not so sure I would do it these days but have not been made aware of any changes to the law.

Cheers for your replies. Will look into it a bit further.
