Yep, you get a knock on your door in the morning, and the nice man asks for your licence.

Of course, I couldn't find it could I? so I promised to drop it off when I did find it.

Which turned out to be never. (that is dropping it off, I found it two days later).

What, and blow the engine up? Or do we let the clutch out again? This is important- I must know, apparently thinking "What would madboy do?" can save you from all sorts of situations.

That loophole was closed a few years ago!

Radar detectors are a life saver. I use a V1 in the cage for going skiing every weekend. Sure the cop sees the front of my car dip as I haul on the brakes but I dont care, as long as I do it before he gets a reading! Normally they see this, flash their lights at me and thats it.

This mornings tax saver was a warning 100 metres before the crest of a rise with Mr Law 300 metres further on.

demerit points only come onto your name when the fine is processed weather you overpay or not. remember, a fine is only an algedged event not a sentance.
what i ment by checking the dates on the points is to find out when points are removed, ie: if 20 points are due to be removed in 6 weeks then it would be in your best intrest to pay the fine after the points come off then in a worst case you get a fine you dont loose your licence!

Its all good, Ill just have to find a radar detector.

How come every cop that pulls you up and gives you a ticket for your bike seems there some kind of mechanical expert? Last time I got a ticket on my bike the orificer said my back wheel looked wonky. I dont think he approved of me telling him he may need glasses. Its amazing how much they try to tie to you when they dont like you lol.

Possibly a Suzuki may do

Actually...
I dont really want to go that slow.

You can borrow my zzr if you want

Although it can still speed, so you would still have to be a little careful. On the bright side, it doesn't like accelerating over 100 when going up hills (well, its that or I'm too fat - which would you choose?)

Of course I would need something for transport, swapping would be fine. I'll let you pick between - hmm what's your profile say - the R1 or the 900ss. I don't mind either way

Although, I might need the zzr back, especially if I proportionately increase my speeds with respect to cc...

This coppa saw my back tyre (which is a supercorsa) and said that i should have tread on the edges, or i wont have any grip

I dont think he knows that bike tyres are opposite to cars. Then he didnt believe me that they were road legal.
