No idea. Still harsh.

Edit:

Apparently it's a % of your salary and 6 points.

So lets say you earn the UK average, about 27k I believe, it's £778 and 6 points for doing 90 in a 50.

Yeah 150% weekly wage and 6 points OR you could get a temporary ban also.

The wage % system only applies if you fight the penalty notice & go to court. It's still the same in the UK with fixed penalty notice & fine dependant on speed, points etc. A safe bet is anything over 100mph is an instant ban.

I would be screwed in some countries. No modification of vehicle unless with a licence etc which costs an extortionate amount of money, sod that

They have that rule in Germany and Switzerland, but if it's legal in your country of origin (so no "for race use only" parts for UK bikes) then it's fine even if it doesn't pass the Swiss rules.

Yeah, I don't think they would appreciate my Yoshimura RS-6 on a 600 @ 17,000RPM

Wow Trackdays and Racing are banned as well. That's me totally screwed then lol, that's pretty much what I work & live for. On the plus I would have a lot more spare money.

There are no tracks in Switzerland but there are many hill climb events where they close the mountain passes and all vehicles are allowed, plus i have something like twenty race circuits within 2 hours of my front door.

Video montage I put together of all our brand new to my area this year Biker Down courses. They have been immensely successful, thanks to my amazing team of fire service, police and ambulance service volunteers. Bit of drone footage mixed in there too.

Tricky one this, I wanted to post it in the Bike Porn thread, but it's a video so..

That onboard footage, never fails to impress.

 

[Draeger]

Stunning.

These are worth a watch:

 

[Lakeland]

YES!

 

[Scort]

That looked like a right cluster ****

Watched it back in the 80s once, freezing bloody cold, but amazing.

They really need someone else to organise things and then they just do the challenges.

I think they could use a bit more polish but it is a big step to take it too close to what would be considered broadcast quality. Three, maybe four blokes with cameras, bikes and a van works pretty well for me. Polish it too far and then we'll be demanding better editing, then better script writing, then better makeup, then better wardrobe, then more content, then fewer sponsors etc etc.

They need a 3rd person. Someone even more unhinged than they are.
