the humble is usually sarcastic, and can be omitted by the less arrogant.

That was me on the 125, its Blubirds RS125 which is de-restricted and so makes about 33bhp an I think all would agree that that bike was plenty fast enough.1blue wrote:No, there is a bit more to it.

is your restriction due to end in the spring?
AT and 2blue passed their tests at the same time, and started riding similar bikes. AT with restrictors in had no trouble keeping up with 2blue. On a recent ride out one of the regulars was riding a 125, and he lead most of the way.
You will realise there is no way its worth it, IMHO.
Taking the restrictors out is up to you (i can't lecture because i took mine out early on my gs450e a long time ago). 1Blue is right tho taking the restrictors out does invalidate your insurance and if caught will get you points, probably 3 points and £60 fine under code LC20 not riding in accordance with your licence whih will effect your insurance.
To be honest having seen A-T ride her bike restricted I would say leave them in her bike could still do ... when restricted and taking them out is unlikely to make you any faster on twisty roads.
so it turns out.........sometime i do give a f*ck
