If you want to learn the lingo can I suggest you watch Lock stock and two smoking barrels.

LOL @ the gang of you!

Stu, I'm a sergeant with the Omaha Police Department. We're a town of 400,000 in the city limits proper, about 3/4 mil in the metro.

I work patrol, but have worked undercover Narcotics, Special Ops, and project beat assignments in my 18 years of law enforcement.

Nice city to live, actually.

We've got some great local riding just 30 mintues from here, western Iowa's Loess Hills. Check out my blog entry for details.

We've got a local track, Mid-America Motorplex, about 20 minutes from my house. Check out the video and look for the large man riding poorly on the silver Fazer Thou. That'd be me.

I once had a friend tell me I couldn't put it in a barrel without a bottom... I think that suggests I talk alot, dunno for sure.

Welcome Sarge

Cheeky question for you.

Whats the legality for driving over there on a UK license?

Got a good friend in Kentucky who's father-in-law has offered me the loan of a bike next time I am over - so will my UK license cover me?

Is it a national thing, or vary state by state?

David

David, I honestly don't know what requirements you'd have to meet to be able to legally ride in Kentucky. I'd start here and see if by contacting the Department of Motor Vehicles there, you can get information about a provisional license for your visit.

Know this- if you come here and have access to a sportbike, hell, any bike, in that part of the States, you're going to want to ride it! (See my June '03 Honda Hoot blog entry for a taste.)

Good luck!

Late edit: take a look at this page about 3/4 the way down. Perhaps you're okay.

Not that 'Bike' is any better.
Except for Ogri, Mal, Mitzi and Kick-Start. Just so true!

Oh BTW

Welcome.

My other half goes to Vegas each year for a bike meet and hires bikes on his UK licence with no problem. I think the only requirement is you have the motorcycle entitlement on it.
