Don't let the barstewards grind you down!!

'law' = 'barstewards' ------- possible mistranslation

OK, seems like they could have me on a technicality, although I will be really good from now on (promise!)

but what about the other guys? They got the same form, different misdemeanor but no warning. Could their bikes be under the same threat?

Hi Messie I dont know it this would help? http://www.pepipoo.com/ worth a look see where you might stand?

Sorry.

Don't believe a word this woman says. She doesn't ride fast unless it's in a straight line. Well she rides a gixxer, what do you expect

She must have been dreaming all this. Thought you would have realised this Messie when you woke up and the milk was dripping off your nose.

As for the police and your predicament. Haven't got a clue.

cheek!!!

I may not be able to beat you roud the twisties yet young man but wait until I've done the track day. I'll get you then

[Messie]

Oh and in case anyone was wondering. What I learned was that I just love riding my bike ..

the fast bits, the slow bits, the scary bits and the hot bits! The bits when I forget all the worries and responsibilities and even when I act irresponsibly and get caught.

I bl***y love riding my bike

Anyone else wonder about this? That implies to me the police haven't got a clue.

Yes true, a lot of officers dont know the ins and out of motorcycle law. They cant know absoloutly everything and biking is in the minority.

I'm under the impression that a CBR400 is over the 33bhp limit of a restricted licence. He may be a naughty boy and not have a restriction (if he needs it) anyway so they're well within their rights to ask questions.
