Hey Lee, After having been over in your country (N. Yorkshire in '01), I wish I was there with my bike to ride with you guys! (only I'd have to learn all over to ride on the wrong side of the road!!, but at least the bike would not have all the controls on the "wrong" side!

Loved your country, Brother!:flag: AND YOUR warm dark BEER!:2thumbs:

Shovelcowboy:cheers:

quite a lot. Different exhaust, licence plate in the centre and a certain size, amber indicators, rear light in the centre, no pointy edges on mirrors, no pointy edges on levers plus lots more I can't even think of. Complete waste of time because once you get your certificate you put it all back as it was originally. There is an annual test here in the UK and that is getting stricter than ever with noise, emmissions, number platre sizing etc etc etc. It helps of course to have someone doing the test who is hard of hearing - like I have!!

That really isn't unlike some state inspections over here.... states like Penn have similar restrictions.

Very Cool. I have friends who live in Bristol. They're into sport bikes though.
yeah sport bikes are the norm over here. There are quite a lot of Harleys but you don't often see stuff like mine on the road.
