I've never met Plowsie and don't know him from Adam, so this is a third party perspective judging only by what I've read in these two threads.

Plowsie's done a bit of a daft thing riding unrestricted and a dafter thing by admitting to it on a public forum, but are all those folk (including me) on the "What speed have you had out of your SV?" threads any better? 125, 135 mph, many on a public road?

He's got a new bike now and he says it's being restricted before he picks it up. Everyone deserves the chance to correct a daft thing that they've done and do the right thing in the end. I'm not saying we shouldn't discuss our views on the riding of unrestricted bikes, but regards direct references to Plowsie, lets give him a break.
