Talking to a freind of mine last night who is a learner on a 125.I told him that as a 17yr old{ahem many moons ago}that i past my test on a 400 with a sidewinder fitted to it.
for anyone who does,nt know of these...a sidewinder is a small plastic base around 2ft square that bolts onto the left hand side of the bike with a wheel about 1ft in height.Having 1 of these then enabled a learner rider of 17+yrs to ride any cc of bike whilst still having around 90% of lean angle.The main thing 2 remember was to allow for it when overtaking or parking up,also if you hit a divet in the road it would flick up and bounce at the side of the
bike{not really affecting control as its on a hinge to allow leaning angles}.So while all my mates were pottering about i was hitting the dizzy heights of 3 figures.
Now i think i may have created a monster,as he wants 2 know if the law still allows this?
Personnally i think that with todays high powered machines that the law has probably changed ie,17/21=33bhp
does anybody have information on this?:confused:
