Only legislation I can find states 25kw net power. I'd argue the chain would dissipate a couple of bhp.

In fact I'd argue anything, including the pigs blood I use to seat the beads of tyre has an effect and there's no way they could prove otherwise.

Sure, when tyre is actually in contact with tarmac it actually absorbs up to 55bhp. Surrrre the dyno said it made 100bhp at the crank, it's different on tarmac. Oh, I'm sorry your honour would the prosecution care to produce a peer-reviewed scientific publication disproving pigs blood as a power dissipator when used as a bead sealant? No?

Beyond reasonable doubt. No way can they do that by taking it to guy down the road with a dynojet setup or whatever.

After my call with the PC on the 28th of April and He assured me he'd called with the results on the 29th he has not, I've now lost all my (extensive) patience, Opening my notes and calling WD now.

"Finally" as I'm sure most of you would say

Good luck Flame boy, even the bike Copper I spoke to was surprised at how this has turned out for you. I think that a little help will go a long way for you. Good luck.
