Reminds me of what I think is the most famous line in English literature:

'Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the
parson and clerk, were alone present. When we got back from church,
I went into the kitchen of the manor-house, where Mary was cooking
the dinner and John cleaning the knives, and I said -

"Mary, I have been married to Mr. Rochester this morning." The
housekeeper and her husband were both of that decent phlegmatic
order of people, to whom one may at any time safely communicate a
remarkable piece of news without incurring the danger of having
one's ears pierced by some shrill ejaculation, and subsequently
stunned by a torrent of wordy wonderment. Mary did look up, and she
did stare at me: the ladle with which she was basting a pair of
chickens roasting at the fire, did for some three minutes hang
suspended in air; and for the same space of time John's knives also
had rest from the polishing process: but Mary, bending again over
the roast, said only -

"Have you, Miss? Well, for sure!" '

Chapter 38 - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

I always ask if they have heard of the .org and then tell them to steer well clear. It's just full of freaks and weirdo’s.

The guy went to jail for dangerous driving on the evidence presented, as it was used to prove the guy wasn't a responsible driver.

Do you mean 10 Pence Short? I didn't think they got him for dangerous driving based on posts (on PH anyway)...I thought they got him for it just based on the circumstances...

But I don't like stickers all over my bike anyway so I agree with you (plus, it could be used in the way you describe)

They made a point of using his previous posts on the forum he was on (not pistonheads but some hot-hatch forum) as proof he had intentions to break the law, which contributed to their case for DD against him.

It may sound bad, but I think the police are well within their rights to do this, and if you post these sort of things then you can expect to take the heat when it all goes wrong for you. This is the main reason why I don't have forum addresses on my bikes - there's way too much information about illegal riding activity out there that I've posted or been mentioned in.

Yup, because nobody ever lies on the internet I can't see how it can carry any weight in court personally, it just seems absurd. Just look at any top speed thread... "My SV does 145mph and still climbing". I mean seriously... The ones to watch are the ones who never mention how they ride

oh dear
