If they do that I'm disconnecting it! What's the point of having a bike that goes as slow as a car?
The more rules they introduce the more I'm inclined to break them.
Many years ago I was driving through Earls Court and a courier threaded his way through the traffic and planted himself on the white line between me and another car. When the lights turned green I pulled away and noticed a slight bump - when I looked in my wing mirror the courier was still stationary with a pained look on his face ....... it appears that he'd put his foot in front of my wheel and then suffered the consequences for not watching the lights !
My resultant grin was nearly of Surf proportions !

Nice one! One ran into the back of me the other day and then rode off!
If they do do that then they will have to restrict all the cars too cos car death out number bike deaths. What are the chances of that happening??? its just more government propaganda to get us worked up!
Sorry, that will be my fault... I spent yesterday putting a gpz1000rx motor in my 900r*. nearly finished it.... sods law says , soon as its done, i'll have to blank off 2 of the cylinders....
* for those not of a 2 wheel disposition its 125 hp instead of around 100...
This idiocy has surfaced yet again... As always, proposed by people who have NEVER been on a bike, and have no idea about the physics of why a bike stays wheel-side down.
Another one for the no-win, no-fee sharks to rub their hands over:
"The crash was caused by the speed limiter reducing the power when the bike was leaned over, causing the suspension to dip, and the bike to understeer into the path of the oncoming bus. The family of the deceased are VERY upset about this..."
