Being a hybrid might not be that far away from the truth. The Muppets in the European Union are looking at legislative changes around motorbikes. We are in their sights and they don't like us. Things like anti-tampering design to stop any modifications to bikes, stricter noise and emissions limits, mandatory ABS on all bikes, On Board diagnosis to monitor what you have been doing (Sorry Officer I wasn't speeding won't cut it of they can plug into your bike and check it) and things like the mandatory wearing of High Viz vests.
France has already banned some bigger bikes and make High Viz vests mandatory. But its the inability to alter any aspect of the stock bike that should get us all worried. Forget pulling the secondaries, or plugging the GIPRO in, this will be all banned in Europe....and perhaps the bikes will then be manufactured to harmonize these things acroos the world...Who knows....Anyway All you Aussies I'm off the watch Wales thrash Australia at Rugby this afternoon - going on my R3 for a little light relief...Cheers...Ron
