I propose a new radical straight from the shiny land of crazy from of rebellion - have a 100% roadworthy bike.
A bit boring I know and not for everyone, but if you spend a lot of time on the road, or ride with a 'target' group, at the end of the day you really just want to enjoy the ride and get to your destination intact and un-harrassed. It would be great I reckon to be able to get pulled over by the plod or any taskforce (or not pulled over in the first place) and give them ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to get you on. That, I reckon, would be the best way to piss them off......
Carry under seat: -Copy of ADR 57/00 -Copy of Vicroads Reg Requirements -Tape Measure
All measurements on my bike are within spec (rear blinkers are borderline on the 30cm apart limit) according to both ADR and Vicroads documents. Everything works. If I can get my exhaust down to around 91dB (assuming I can maintain enough flow for the engine - Supertrapp?) I will have a 100% roadworthy bike.
Luckily they have no roadside means of measuring my brain....
