Having retired I am somewhat sadly selling my faithful thou which has been a daily ride in anticipation of a new bike to enjoy as a pleasure bike. Not quite sure what it's worth so gone the ebay route. Despite the mileage it's been a great bike, is well specified and must still be a good bike for someone who knows how to continue to look after it. Would be great to see it continue giving enjoyment to someone in this community.  | FZS1000 Ziggy |

Yup - got stopped on the way to work this morning (very swish looking unmarked BMW 5 series touring) and fixed penalty received for "Vehicle registration mark not conforming to regulations".
Plate is smaller than regulation but it's a proper font and layout and perfectly legible. As we were stood at the roadside in rush hour traffic I wonder how many 'personal' plates with irregular spacing went by ?
It's first time I've ever been pulled up and been riding with a smaller plate for about 10 years - never been questioned at MOT in that time.
Have I been lucky or unlucky?
Any other experiences? Apart from tossing £60 I've now got to decide whether to continue risking it or putting a regulation plate on.

I have a full set of Givi hard luggage - top box and E41 monokey panniers.
On my previous FZS600 I used a wing rack when I wanted to use the full set - no problem.
I now have a gen1 1000 with a Givi monokey rack which I use daily for just the top box. If I want to use the full luggage set I could get a 1000 fitting kit for my wingrack and swap over to that. However that is a bit of a hassle and I don't like the wingrack on all the time 'cos it's fug ugly just for a top box.
You can get pannier rails (Givi PL349) for the monokey rack but advice from suppliers seems to be that these are only suitable for E21 panniers.
So my question is this. Are these rails restricted to the E21 panniers because of the attachment method or is it just a conservative weight thing? In other words would these rails allow fitting of my E41 panniers? Has anyone done it or used panniers other than the E21? If the E41 will fit is it safe - what does the esteemed knowledge of Foc-u reckon?

Bl**dy snow.
Not a flake at home this morning but like a different world by the time I got towards work in Leeds.
Went down on an icy stretch approaching a roundabout - witnessed several bumps whilst there.
Anyway, damage is left side and I need a front fairing (preferably black), inner lhs panel and a bar end.
Or any suggestions as to possible sources.

 This made me chuckle . . . . IT CAN BE HARD KEEPING A STRAIGHT FACE AS A COURT REPORTER
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken

ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?

ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
___________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
WITNESS: Oral...
_________________________________________

____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?

And last:
ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No..
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
