Get an EU (polish/Lithuanian) License. A lot of people I know now have one, and if they get stopped, they just show that. I even know of a few HGV lorry drivers that have them, and have never even driven an HGV before, some still haven't and none have passed a test!!

"McLaren has been made aware that Lewis was stopped for speeding in France whilst driving in a private capacity. We understand he has received a mandatory fine and suspension from driving in France for one month."
That's not the same as having your license confiscated though is it?

Depends on how exactly they "confiscate" it. Suppose they take it away and lock it up in a big cupboard in the Gendarmerie. You go home and tell the DVLA it has been lost, and they send you a new one.

I suspect "confiscate" means an on the spot suspension from driving, put your vehicle on a truck and go home johnny foreigner, for you ze war is over.

Bloody good idea, that. I've just run the paper and plastic bits through the photocopier.

Timing and carbs now properly fettled. I just need to get it up in the air to check for wheel bearing roughness etc before taking it for MOT.

The oil filter bolt is mangled to the point of needing stilsons and I have an ebay saved search for a royal blue LH side panel. I could get both from Dave Silver but the paint and decals for the side panel are a PITA so I'll see what comes along. If I decide to keep it I will probably replace the rear mudguard with One of Dave Silver's fibreglass ones. The exhaust is nice apart from some rust on the No3 pipe, once again a question of how far do you go.

The silly 12mm headed oil filter bolts are prone to that. I used plumber's grips to remove mine. Get a 17mm headed aftermarket one. In fact, I might have one, or at the least, a decent 12mm one.
Those f/glass rear guards look OK if painted silver.
Serious question here. You can chrome plastic, right? I mean, when you buy plastic kits of cars and bikes and suchlike, you get chromed plastic. And the Japs routinely chrome plastic parts on bikes. So why can't one get one of those plastic pattern rear guards chromed?
Is there any particular reason. I mean, is it too hard to do something that big, or what? Any platers here know the answer?

S'ok, I don't have an "EU licence" (whatever that is), I have a British one.
Or do they mean "holders of a licence issued by an EU member state"? -- Champ What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger ZX10R | Hayabusa | GPz750turbo neal at champ dot org dot uk
