well said Tim. We both know people who rode illegally in this manner...I for one am a little uncomfortable with this pratice...I understand the frustration and unfairness of this law but it's the law and break it at one's peril

As much as it seems unfair that we have to wait two years to get onto a bigger bike, where as car drivers can drive home in a ferrari straight after their test, taking out the restrictor is a really really really stupid thing to do, as when you do eventually have an accident, you will have a new one torn for you.

It's quite depressing that bikers are in two groups, those who have had an accident, and those who will have an accident.

At least I acknowledged that I would, i know i'm not invulnerable.

Similarly, car drivers are seperated into two groups , those who have caused an accident, and those that are about to by running that red light.

Good points about the licence....I guess I thought that changin the engine ecu was like getting a more powerful exhaust. i didnt think about the insureance etc etc.
Since its really good for the kind of speeds i can't afford to do (6 points and I'm banned

) i think i'll switch back. Do you think i can use it unrestricted for tract days tho?

Restrictions only apply to the raod so if you feel comfortable with it use it on the track. Also, your limit of six points on your license is for 2 years from the date of your FIRST license, i.e. if you got a car license first then it is for two years from the start of that, and doesn't reset to 2 years when you get your bike license.

Technically, no. As I understand it, for track days, you still need the appropriate road licence for the bike you are riding. Maybe wrong though!

I was under the impression that u didnt need a road licence to race,

Thank you for being sensible and putting back in the restricted ecu!

i too am at 33bhp untill jan 22nd and it always winds me up when somone takes them out early! however, you now have my upmost respect, for putting them back in!

i know how frustrating it is, but it is for the best!

Best regards
Safe riding

You dont have to have a road licence to race, just a race licence. However, most Track Day organisers require you to have an appropriate road licence.
