    He's off practicing somersaulting down a Bavarian hillside whilst
    intermittently urinating.
    It needed more something.

    BORING! It's been done.
    I've just watched the "UKRM does Frankfurt" vid-jo.

    I have to say, the final flypast had me laughing like a loon.

    Turn the sound UP!

    Allegedly, and not for the cameras.
    I've got the Director's Cut somewhere. The whole thing was superb, and we
    must do it again sometime.

    You could have been there, you know.

    "Frankfurt II, son of Frankfurt"?

    Derivative.
    But I was abed in England.

    And very comfy it was too.

    I'm sure there's something can be thought of. Something stupid.
    You're a gentleman...

    Looks like it might be best to put some lights on, if only to prevent
    the police stopping you and checking everything else on the bike.
    How about these aftermarket LED tail-lights with brake lights and
    number-plate lights? Are they legal? Any recommendations?

    It's missing something, but I predict a summer release, held up by
    over running edits.

    Good, isn't it. Like a little swarm.
    I like to think part of me was. Or did you re-cover the Z200's seat?

    They were left on the hard shoulder of the A48 near Koblenz.

  13. and note the bit about reduced visibility: that's RVLR 24, that is, you have
    to use lights in "seriously reduced visibility". trouble is, the phrase is
    not defined anywhere although I've heard the number 100m bandied around.

    and what classes as "visibilty"? ability to discern that there's something
    in front of you, or ability to identify what it is, or ability to read the
    number plate?

    I guess the definition would be difficult to write and more difficult to
    make stand up in court. However, in the absence of a definition, it's
    harder to prove that it wasn't: if plod stands up in court and delivers
    himself of the opinion that it was SRV and you stand up and say oh not it
    wasn't, it's your word against his...

    spoke to veggie last night and he said that the MOT had written on it
    "for daytime use only", but yes we were both saying the same thing in
    just diffent language.
