      It’s a complete nonsense isn’t it. And that is proper harsh! You hear the Welsh Government talk about the 20 limit as if it only applies in housing estates and built up areas…here in mid Wales we have it on main trunk roads. Zero common sense was applied to which roads dropped to 20.

My dark visor has a British kite mark and EU conformity stamp on the left hand lug so the cops can whistle, not that I’ve EVER been stopped before for wearing it in over 30+ years of riding. Laughable the entire waste of time, not forgetting our hard earned taxes.

    He stopped you for being too English, let's be honest. I have only ever met one Welsh person out of dozens of encounters in my lifetime who treated me nicely after hearing my English accent. I found I got stopped a lot less in Wales after I put a Welsh flag on my car. Funny that. I now have a Welsh, Scottish, Irish and even a French flag to put in the back window depending on where I am. Amazing what a difference it makes. Buy some stickers for your number plate is my advice.

  • @Fernando90054
    @Fernando90054 3 дні тому

    When police behave such in a wrong manner, it’s hardly probable that citizens can achieve some kind of common ground. So, the only thing fair to do is to legally act in contesting the fine along with taking legal action against the police and their agent for the officer's incorrect behavior demanding compensation. Cameras filming prove enough about the facts.

    A few years back (when I was a bit younger and a lot lighter) I had a CBR600F as a track day bike, it was plenty fast enough and very few people, regardless of what they might say, are capable of maxing out a litre bike on a British circuit. At the time I owned the CBR my now ex wife had a Yamaha FZR400RR, what a bike! Obviously not as fast as the Honda in a straight line but it was so small and light it cornered like it was on rails. I used to love throwing that little rocket around and were it not for it being just too small for me I would've bought another one in a heartbeat! So yeah, that Kawasaki is an ideal track bike.
