    In Yoorup

    Off the Buell group (reputable poster):

    New rules in Europe.

    Germany- Boots covering the ankle & jacket with CE protection + helmet. = minimum legal requirement for protection.

    France are considering following suit, but have already announced that hi-viz clothing is to be mandatory for motorcyclists from 01/01/12.
    But they're going to repeal the 106hp limit at the same time due to untenable pressure from the industry & other european states.

    So, from next year in France you'll be able to legally ride your turbo'd & nitroused Busa.
    Wearing flip-flops & shorts should you so wish, but you'll have to wear a luminous orange or yellow hi-viz vest or sam-browne.

    Like that's going to do a lot.

    There's going to be big organised protests in the major cities here on Sat 18th June.
    I'll be taking part too if I can.

    Typical EEC bureaucrats Same people who introduced some effing rule about the maximum permissible bend in a cucumber being 10mm from centre line for EEC sale, I kid you not. WTF???

    Rules made simply to keep them busy and on the gravy train.

    This is the case for anyone wearing leather trousers - leder = leather, hosen = trousers.

    You mean the one which was repealed 9 years ago?

    They do seem to make some batshit insane rules, but the crazier ones get removed sooner or later.

    ...saw on the XJROC, a UK based owners website, a link to motorcycle news.
    Insurance underwriters are refusing to insure riders on sports bike who intend to carry pillions.
    Cars with passengers don't get the same treatment.
