...custom made Power Cup Replica...

...had a great afternoon ; only downside : I got me a ticket on my way home...

...for speeding only a friendly (!!) warning (they video-ed me with an avarage speed of 92,5 mph (148 km/h) ; but a ticket for my not fully readable (???) license plate...

...my new license plate bracket was good for 25 Euros...

...and for those who know Holland a bit ; they saw me the first time on the A28 (Leusden), they followed me, and I got my ticket on the A32 (Meppel)...
...Leusden --> Meppel = 94 kilometers (59 miles)...

...and yes ; once in a while I saw this silver coloured Audi A4 (most of the time in a bit of a distance) behind me...
...but never thought this would be a police car, because the guys drove around with their fog lights on...

...had a nice chat with the police officer ; he thought my bike looked good, and he told me his bike was a Speed Triple...

...and I only got this warning for speeding, because (as he said it) "it was a nice winter day to take the bike out, and he didn't want to spoil this nice day for me"...[/b]

Glad you didnt get your day totally ruined.

Nice - except the exhaust pipes need to be rotated 90 degrees to lose the void. Maybe BMW can fit a pannier in there.

...these endcans are just prototypes...

...here's some more info regarding the bike :

Do I spy a (pi55taking) theme here?

Is this not so that they can be sold for road-going bikes and this is where the rear light fits?

...nope...

...it is the new Laser design for several bike, so not only for the S ; something like the Hexagonal shape Akrapovic has...

...what you see are still (hand made ; and very expensive) prototypes...
