In Adelaide it is illegal to modify your bike from stock in any way.....period. You can replace parts with stock or approved parts, but are not allowed to modify. This would also include Oggy Knobbs, or other frame and axle sliders, Pazzo's, you name it.
This is effing ridiculous. S.A.....The Nazi state.
Enforcing trivial BS instead of doing useful things that will actually prevent harm to Human beings.
If the fender stops rocks, how come they wouldn't take me up on my offer of parking my back wheel in the garden in front of their glass doors at the cop station, and stoking it up to put it to the test?
No takers. Told them I didn't want to hear anyone tell me they stop rocks anymore as we all knew they didn't and I don't like being lied to. Also suggested that the bike cops need to be carrying the required 45kg weight with them, as if they approach me again without one I'll be seeing them in court. "Want to enforce a trivial useless law? Fine. Do it right."
There's a good chance I upset some cops, but I was quiet and well mannered, so if they don't like being told, then they really need to stop lying to me, and not just use half the law to put my bike over the pits and raise some revenue. ...lol.:Flip:
Some people will say, that the law is the law....OK. It is illegal to slow down or inconvenience other road users (says so in our road rules book) so next time I'm driving a truck through a narrow crowded town full of tourists (Hahndorf) I'll be sure to obey the law and do my 50km/h.:thumbup: Who am I to argue with the law?
Hmmm. Maybe should put this in the rant thread...lol.:BLAA:
