Pete you are spot on about the N Wales police. I live here and have never been stopped, oh OK once, for overtaking on a double white line
Slapped wrist and three point, fair cop guv.

Non of my mates in the area have been stopped either and we were chatting about this on the weekend. Our opinion reckons that the police are trying to put the frighteners on people coming into the area, to make the balls out race reps think twice before doing well over the ton on our A and B roads. The reality on the ground is that once you are here you would have to do something pretty stupid to get pulled; now that's me done for, next time out I'm sure to get the blue lights in my mirror!

In its response to the European Commission’s initial consultation on proposals to revise the legislation on motorcycle construction the UK Department for Transport made it clear that, while individual member states should be permitted to set limits on a national basis, there should be no blanket maximum power limit imposed across all member states."

Was just goin' to add that meself, twas the reply I got to my signing the petition, seems pretty equivocal to me AT THE MOMENT
