Ohh, let me guess... a Blonde Moment!

Almost - I just drop into dumb blonde mode - accompanied by fluttering eyelashes - and in summer a tight-fitting or low-cut top

Men are so gullible

I've only ever been done for speeding once

I know the plate's illegal too - but I prefer the look of it. Unless you're next to a bike with a standard plate it's not obvious that it's small.

We went through all this exhaust labeling crap in NSW Oz. for a while.If you hold your breath long enough it will go away.It just got too hard for even the authorities here, so they dropped the rule.For some reason a 4" exhaust outlet on a cage doesn't attract any attention from the man....go figure

.But a shiny exhaust on a bike has to be illegal.

Soap box moment coming up..I better go and lay down for a while.

perverting the course of justice is criminal related crime, loud exhausts are traffic, believe me you will never find a detective in traffic, or a traffic officer in the crime department.
Does a low top and fluttering eye lashes get you off a ticket from a speed camera?

No idea - always go through speed cameras at the speed limit!!!!

As for the cans - I've just ordered a little polishing kit so I can get rid of the scratchy marks on the back of them - because it looks messy of course - nothing to do with the MOT being due

Bike passed annual MOT today. 2 tips if you stick tape over your not for road use cans their not allowed to remove it, and apparently my blue light bulb, is illegal because the bike was not made before 2000! Friendly MOT station was happy, just said that it was very bright ( and so it should be if I ride at night ).

Fixed one of them - the other info has disappeared.
