Those TT guys are crazy! I bought the '05 season a month ago. Sickness! Bollocks!

I think most of us feel like the UK riders are family (as mine is from cornwall). I like to read the UK's "BIKE" magazine and I think its one of the finest put out on our sport. Sounds to me like the UK bike scene is really good! However I have heard many stories about huge insurance cost, taxes, restrictions and yes, speed traps. Please give us yanks a feeling for the trails and tribulations and costs I would have to endure to own a GSXR1000K4 in the UK. Thanks, Welcome.

:welcome: Cracker and Mrchen!:cheers:

:welcome: mates! Glad to have ya here. Cracker... tell us more about these speed traps. Further... what's up with the screen name? Any reason for it?

:lol: I was about to ask the same thing. You and I are thinking the same thing. The slang term I use to call alot of my friends. Of coarse I'll call any race a "cracker" its just my thing. A few of my black buddies laugh pretty good when I call them that! :lol: :D Its all good!
