be very careful with one of those, - if they even see it on your bike they will take away you numberplate, therby loosing your registration of the vehicle, you will have to re-register as a Q plate. My opinion is that this is seen as red rag to a bull and asking to get yourself into more trouble.
I think there is a major clamp-down going on right now with bikes due to the type of "Fast Bikes cover shot" / "Mad Count" mentality, and then given rising accident rates, you can see the justification for the crusade. I know its not in vogue to say so but I think we have a duty as motorcyclists to clean things up a bit, - we have n't so as such all of us are paying the price for this sort of thing.
Perhaps understandably the Police cannot tell apart the gixxer boy racers from us old timers on our noisy Ducs. Might be wrong, but you might be paying the price for some looney on an R1 that went by that policeman on his back wheel the day before.
