Yeah that seemed a good price considering what it is and my age 
Yeah full licence, passed when I was 17 so out of my 2 years restriction now. That is with Quoteline Direct. I took a quote on confused.com and they rang me up offering me a better quote than the £2200 that came up...
Highest quote was £7700 for TPFT, I laughed at them!

Street fighters are fooking fun!
My rad went on my R6 so I had to take the entire front end off (lights, clocks, fairings, brackets, etc!) and then took it for a spin with my mate on the back to check everything was alright.
I loved the stance -- you couldn't see any of the front end. A little pull away and up comes the front... Down she goes... and then she flies back up when I pin her in 2nd... and she even clutched up in 3rd and 4th -- the weight makes such a difference! It's a proper hooligan tool without the front end.
It's easier to wheelie too, as you don't have to stand up to look over the fairing and double bubble -- I was just sitting there comfortably at balance point going down the motorway at a ton forty until my mate tapped me on my shoulder and asked me to land -- apparently he had seen the milage go up 5 whilst we were on the back wheel.
Nice bike, Graham -- I was gagging for a go last night. Fookin' plod.

He said my plate was too small, and exhaust is illegal. I am not sure on the exhaust so want to find out if he is wrong. The biggest problem was the plate is on velcro, need to get that attached.
Didn't do me for them though

It is illegal -- but don't let that stop you. Most bikes have an illegal can. It's a £30 fine at the worst... Don't worry about it. It's just an average sounding can anyway. It's not even as if it's stupidly loud... And I looked at it last night -- it can't be stubbied.

well anything over 1mph over the speed limit is 'speeding' yet when they do hammering up the road its okay
been told iv almost lost it, and was nearly on 2 wheels going around a round about!! what aload of bollocks
have out run a unmarked police car down the country lanes, was following me, so i speed up, and so did he, hammered it away from him, get home, 5minutes later a knock at my house door!
first if they got my address, why didnt they attempt to stop me? and why chase me! lol
wankers the lot of them

That's what I mean, that's why I can't see why it's not road legal. "Not for road use" cans tend to be stupidly loud. I asked in Hein Gericke today cause they sell one that looks extremely similar and she said its compeletely road legal so I dunno 
Oh and I wanna get the same size plate again, I like that size and it shouldn't draw as much attention as a 1 liner. Although I had one of those on my VFR and never got a problem, got pulled many a time and not a word was spoken about it.
De-stickered and cleaned it, much better I think:
