So is that why you ride a pink bike?

I was driving my car in sort of dusk time, where light is just fading, I had my lights on, and I got pulled by police for un-necessary dazzle!! Told to turn my lights off

My prize for pratt of the year last year was a 50cc cooter rider whos scooter would do 31 mph trying to overtake me o the inside in a 30 mph limit, saw him pull out of a junction i was folowing a couple of cars at a safe distance he crept right up on my left hand side, a quick squirt on the throttle of the old 250 soon lafe thim sitting in acloud of 2 stroke smoke though, Bet he didnt need a fag for a couple of hours after

thats it mate, u show these kids how to be an even bigger twat. i know its tempting mate. but best just to leave be. dont drop to their level. this whole post about being pregnant goldfishies on ur bike. and then u think some little punk on a 50 is creaping uop, and u wanna show him a lesson, and u burn off and do over the speed limit. whats the reasoning in that mate? sort it out

Me too guys. Headlight and spotlights on whenever I am cruisin. Still dosn't stop some dipsticks from pulling out in front of you though!!!
Ride safe dudes,

I think all new bikes in the UK have no switch, ours don't anyway.

Yeh as far as I was aware modern jap bikes dont give you the option to turn the lights off. GSXR 1000's (and I guess the rest of suzukis sport bike range )have been like that since the K3 (2003)

Yes maybe it was a little silly, what i did but it only took a couple of mph to lose the pratt, and fill his nose with 2 smoke. but at the end of the day did they not introduce the CBT to try and teach these kids some sense.
One thing i wil say is that the standard of kids riding here (england) is much better than france. Just before christmas I had a kid on a scooter come down the left hand side of the truck (full size artic) at a set of lights (Remember I was on the opposite side of the road to here so he was on the passenger side in the midddle of the road) I thought typical just trying to get to the front let him get on so when the lights went green i waited a little ( by the way you do not get red amber in france on lights it just goes straight to green) and the pratt turned right across the front of the truck and into a junction.Standard practice for kids out there at some sets of lights seems to be get to the front of the queue then cut across the pavement and into the road on the right where the lights are green and turn right instead of waiting for the lights to go straight ahead

Mine are stuck on and a few people flash at me trying to tell me that my lights are on!
