You lucky barsteward, if only I wasn't as heavy!!! UNLESS I can put the Blackbird engine in it!! Its only the BMW engine that allows it to facillitate"light" people!  :~)

Ahh, shot put for the "older" sportsman.

Yep, I will be there,was working near to the airport ealier this week and wondered why there was so much activity. Can you all wear red carnations and carry a rolled up newspaper under your left arm so I know who you are!!  

Cheers for that, looks like I'm spending the rest of the night cleaning my keyboard.!!

[quote user="jc"]Is/was that bike available in France?If so,what were the mods used to reduce the power to make it legal?[/quote] The bike was/is available in France, its a CBR 1100 xx Blackbird, love the bike to bits and dont really want to part with it, I was told that if I fit the restricters in the carbs and then take it to a Honda dealer for them to verify that it complys to French spec, then there would not be a problem with getting the French plates, unfortunatly the local Honda dealer wont get involved, but they will sell me a new bike if I want one.!!!

Hi, I have a UK registered bike, which I managed to get 3 months French insurance cover on, while I registered it in France. Unfortunatly the bike has more than the 106hp that the French allow, the bike is a 1999 model so the 2002 ruling doesn't apply and so I am looking at a way round this hurdle, the bike is still MOTed and taxed and registered to my UK address but after looking at insurance quotes in the UK they all have a time clause on time in France. I am NOT looking for a way to bend rules or defraud anyone, I just want to ride my bike legally. Any help in resolving this issue would be gratefully received[:D] 

Me me me SVP. Where abouts in Sarlat?

Three of us are setting off from Souillac (46) on saturday morning, riding to Tours ( nearest vaccant hotel !!) having a sherbert or two then going to the GP sunday morning, then back to the hotel for more sherberts and riding back via the coast on monday, should be a good weekend, hope the weather is better on the ride up than last year.

Mechanical failings are something Honda riders know nothing about[:D][;-)]

Try welders overalls, they are a lot cheaper than Sparco etc, I used them for years when they brought the same ruling in when I was banger racing.
