Re-program the rear dot matrix display to dish out insults/warnings to shit drivers?

Change all the blue lights to white so they're legal and use them while filtering?

Disconnect the radio mic, then use it to listen in on traffic reports?

Pics!

If it were a police bike, you could be done for impersonating a police officer, however highways agency is different.

I'd leave it as standard.

What messages are on the wotsit ?

I'd like to put a message on like, "you are too close - leave a 2 second gap"

How much did the bike cost ?

That thing makes my CG look like something out of a Kinder Egg.



ETA: 0 for when you bin it into a central reservation?
and 1 for when the mrs texts/calls you to tell you shes' burnt dinner?

[D O G]

That is sweet.

Woudl have thought it woudl be fine - no blue lights so the yellow buggers are just like massive hazards.

Number 6 on the matrix would be awesome when passing a lardarse.

I'd leave it as it is.

No dear, I don't do the Moto GP or Silverstone.

Is that the M1? Its possible I was on the M1, although I thought I came all the way back down from Hinckley the day that picture was taken, on the A5. Still ... I might be wrong.

I just remember seeing what may have been you (or an extreeemly similarly curvy young lady astride a bike) very close to Northampton on the M1 on the Friday evening of the gp.
I was a bit starstruck, like spotting a famous type person

[hellkat]

LOL it wuznot me, babes. I rarely leave London

The only reason I was out in the wilds in that picture was cos I was riding the bike home after buying it.
