nothing too serious...............but today, I *FINALLY* got pulled over and harassed about not having any blinkers !!
Can you f'n believe it ?? Nah, me neither.......I mean its only been what , 2 years ?
and the bike copper rides a 12 himself !! Got all shirty about the front slick (in a previous life it was an M3), but very interested in the rearsets and 2CT rear.........and the shortened Yoshi !
After a 5-minute bullshit session, we both went on our way. Apparently hand-signals don't cut the mustard .....

HAHAHAHAHAHA! You're such a throwback, Gos. Love your work
How bad is the damage? It wouldn't be a big fine, surely? Do you get a grace period to fix it before you need to pay a fine?

Just did some good PR, and it worked its magic.....after we had discussed the finer points of dual-compound rear tyres, he said 'well, I'm not gonna bust your balls over a set of blinkers........just put them back on will ya ? ' .....and rode away. No fine...no points.....gotta be happy with that.

ffs...who would know what a hand signal is these days......most people would think you were waving...or signing directions to "S .U .U "

".. and then once the talkin' got to donuts, well, that copper.... he was really impressed with my ...errr...serving technique."
Did you give him a bit of "if you're gonna waste the bronze you gotta do it biiiig"
They make integrated ones for the ZX12's now Gos, or you could just get the plate mounted ones from rated R.....or you could just say fuggit and leave them off......which is probably what you'll do eh..

Hmm, that must be typical of the local plod there Gos, easy going?
When I was there when they didn't want to get off their lazy arses to learn about those new fang dangled speed camera thingies..
Back in time when you lost dollars for being caught and there was no point system
