So did anyone go? I did and got a few things to say. Please bare with me, it`s late, been working my ar&e off for ...... forever and just opened my second bottle of wine (don`t laugh i like the odd bottle!) Anyway went to the Superbike Ally Pally show n it was quite good, got fed up of all the scantily clad women getting in the way of all the stuff i wanted to see :shock: :lol: but i got over it!
Had a chat with our friends in blue and spoke about exhausts/number plates, yes i know there`s already a thread, anyway was told what i already suspected. Most likely reason for a pull is a dodgey number plate [-X and the met police don`t have a decible meter :D . On this forum was told 87 decibles @ 4500rpm legal limit, mine 87 decibles @ idle :shock: :D

His advice, dip clutch or knock it up a couple of gears when u go past any boys in blue. My plate is legal size just well tucked away :wink: hope that helps.
The other thing is i desperately needed a new lid, 25mph, diesel, you get the idea :(

So bought a Shark S500 AIR, good looking lid, comfy, a little noisey but gold rated, £90, bargin? (fiances are tight) A worrying thing happened. While transversing my private test track ahem M4 ahem, 124, life saver to the left, VISOR FLIPPED OPEN :shock: :shock: and closed shut when i brought my head forward!!! happened so fast didn`t worry to much but will it happen again??
