Quite the opposite.
 It's like anything else, nobody minds bending/ignoring the rules and reg's till it all goes Pete Tong.
The worrying thing is that people are often more bothered about getting fined for things than they are about their (and every one elses) safety. Amazing really. :shock:

Bulli:
does anyone know what the recommended speed rating for the 3.5 efi disco is?? Cant seem to find it . I need to rethink as i would hate to fall foul of the law.

As if, I stick well below the speed limits and the speed rating is to do with continuous high speed running not meandering round sub 70 in my disco.( I rarely break 55 to be honest)
 Yes guys safety is something I choose not to ignore I care a great deal about all other road users but I am far safer than 99% of people out there.Although certain people show stats that say speed is not a factor in accidents I think we all know it is.
 
I really would like to know the recommended speed though. By the way fitting different tyres is not considered a modification by Adrian flux or firebond. Thats would be saying if you changed from pirelli to michelin you should declare it as a mod because the manufacturer didnt fit is when new.
Lastly, and I am not trying to make light of what I think is a serious subject, when i was smashed up by a kind nova driver and left for dead on the road. The insurance inspector came to see my bike 3 days later he wouldnt have known the difference between my poorly GSXR 1100 and my push bike. He didnt have a clue, im not saying they are all like that but my insurance company gave me 4k without much of a fight.

Dave:
Thanks Tim never thought of that, 60 is the limit for a trailer but isn't that the same as 70 is the limit for the road. The car pulling it has to be rated at it top speed, so why not the trailer being towed.

 I think we have opened a can of worms here :wink:

Dave:
I have just swopped the tyres on my trailer for some hankook rated T 119mph this should do it carn't see the disco getting up there. :wink:
