Mine are still in. I don't consider it worth the risk of getting well and truly screwed over if caught.

If you remove them your insurance is invalid.

wanna risk getting your bike crushed?

It really pisses me off this sorta toad. You would be the 1st person to winge about being knocked off your bike by some muppet in a car with no insurance so why would you even consider removing them

[Jimzxr400L1]

fair enough sopose i would

[masterofinsanity]

don't beat about the bush Cansa! lol dunno how bad insurance co's are nowadays, are they really gonna check to see if they have been removed? few years back i had a car nicked and they blew the engine, insurance sent someone round to inspect it so i rammed a few screwdrivers in the rad to make it look worse lol

Ferck better no tell him I started off with no licence never mind insurance - that didn't happen until I was well into my twenties !! Bike was only ever insured for a month to get the tax disc - I WAS POOR , 16 quid a month bursary !

Bettter go and upset a few more on the fluffy bunny biker site




MM!

PS. Someone crashes into you with no insurance there is a government agency who pays for the damages , same one that pays for bus shelters and posts that drivers wreck and f*** off from - pain in the butt to deal with but it is there , use it

"government agency"...................... my butt

It is still the honest punter that pays in the end with ever higher premiums

[Mori Man]

Or

" It's still the honest punters who pay as they are done up the butt by the money embezzling higher archey who keep them in fear so they can keep reaming them "

Just another viewpoint

[cargo]

true enough................. either way the honest punter is stuffed

thing is by removing restrictors, you void your license(category and age), tax, insurance, mot... alot of potential brown lumpy stuff just waiting to make contact with a white swirly thingy. Use the resticted period to improve your corner speeds. Alot of people fall into the trap of using 'point and squirt' tactics, using the bikes power to fly towards the next corner before tottering round slowly. Meanwhile, the 17 year old on his rs125 is conserving every joule of kinetic energy be just refusing to lose any more corner speed than he has to. or she, lets be pc. Did you see the mcn article last year where they pitted a journo on an tumpet 675 against a bsb racer adding more handicaps to him in order to help the journo to win? It ended up with the journo riding flat out, and the bsb guy riding thus; 1) no brakes 2) one gear only 3) one hand only... 4) SITTING ON THE TANK! he then finally dropped 3 seconds behing the journo! All because he could keep his corner speed up.

what i'm getting at is you're better off keeping the restrictors in, and having a few track days this winter/spring while they're cheap (from about £50 a day for 6 x 20 min sessions) to improve your skills. you'll be faster from one track day than from the bhp boost from ditching your restrictors.

i did this last winter (after 12 months riding) on my gpz500s, and the difference was amazing. my chicken line halved in size! because i was used to having a weak bike, i was keeping pace with my mates 750 srad gsxr despite my single front disc having over heated earlier and by that point being rather saucer shaped!


Or just get an well tuned & stripped out rs125 (about 33 rwhp) and enjoy the feeling of having lost 60kg... its like loosing a pillion!

I lost a pillion once = didnt feel that good tbh

[Mori Man]

Yeah, dropped me mate off the back coming up to a set of lights and then cracking it on when they changed - watched the soles of his boots whizzing up skyward in my mirrors - hey wasn't best chuffed, bike went like fook though !

Thing is I had to stop at other side of junction and wait for him to get back on

MM!

[gavinfdavies]

he got back on?! must have been an interesting site for the person behind! Funny too. I once watched my large parrot chew through a thick rope... that he was standing on! comedy gold!
