Title: Motorcyclists ride to protest anti-motorcycle proposals

Motorcyclists in the Philippines have had enough of anti-motorcycling policies introduced by the government and local councils. We think the UK is bad but how would you fancy a pillion ban, not being allowed on motorways or dual carriageways and having to paint your registration number on the back of your helmet. That is, if you are allowed to wear a helmet.

Unbelievably, those are already in place or being debated in the Philippines.

Title: BMW GS1200

About a year ago i posted that i had had a short ride on a Bmw GS1200. Anyway yesterday i had one out for an hours ride around Oxford. Totally changed my mind about them now and sorely tempted to buy the Demonstrator they have for sale, it comes fully loaded with both premium pack /dynamic pack and luggage.

Only thing is after an hours riding my hands were tingling like feck, i have had it before when i had my Bandit 600 but not since swapping to a V Twin. Has anyone else suffered from this or know possible causes / cures.

Title: Please help guys

hello guys.. as i have passed my CBT and im pretty comfortable with bikes...

i was wondering if its possible to restrict a bike to 33bhp..

i have found a bike that i really want that is local to me.

The Bike Click Here

basically what i want to know is :
1. Can it be restricted
2. Any ideas roughly how much it would cost to restrict it
3. Will i get insurance for it
(does the insurance company need to be told its a 535 restricted to 33bhp or do they just get told its a 125)
4. Is it legal ?

Im planning on getting a bike on Saturday and my hearts set on it being a DEFO (mabey not 100% this one though) but if this can be done i would gladly do it.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Regards ,
Chris
