Marco_DMG Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 very nice!! lock her up very very well whenever you leave her, London is a f**king nightmare currently (don't want to scare you! just a friendly warning from a fellow Londoner )Thanks hoggs! yes they aware me a lot already, I pop in the BMW Motorrad in park lane where a seller ask me if I was sure to bring Filomena from Milano cause he recive every two day a notice about an s1000rr stolen.. but I can't stay without her so I got cover with the insurance and i bought a lot of thick locker and an almax 19mm chain... I got really scared even for the YouTube video about the panigale get stolen in central London.. but than I read that they stole even the two official bmw of an important racing team that for sure they were well guarded.. so as we say in Italy.. " amen " I'll do my best but if they want it they stole it let's just make it hard for them.. I can't wait to ride properly I don't even understood how it work the speed limit on high way.. can you explain to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie125 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Gorgeous bike! Any plans of mods or you keeping it standard? I'd advise on an Oxford screamer for about £25 off ebay Have you got a picture of the front? are the headlights a different shape either side?Speed limit in the UK is 70mph.

bonio Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I can't wait to ride properly I don't even understood how it work the speed limit on high way.. can you explain to me?What do you want to know? As for the speed limit signs, they're all like this:http://www.thermmark.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/30mph-speed-roundel-product-0-180x180.pngwith the speed limit in miles per hour inside. And there's also this signhttp://www.centraldt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/nsl.pngwhich basically means 60mph, unless the road is a dual carriageway, with a dividing section between the two directions of traffic - when it means 70pmh. The only thing to watch for here is that if the road has this sign and it changes from single to dual carriageway and back, then the speed limit changes without any signage.The speed limit is always signed when it changes. It's often repeated with smaller signs after that, but not always (and it's seldom repeated in London). The safe rule to go by is that if you don't know the speed limit and there are lamp posts by the side of road, then assume the speed limit's 30. If your're out on a country road, outside a town or a village, and ther are no lamp posts, then the chances are that itshttp://www.centraldt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/nsl.pngWhat else do you need to know?You'll find that a lot of drivers go faster than the speed limits. In London, they know where all the cameras are and they slow down for them. Be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In London, they know where all the cameras are and they slow down for them. Be careful. More than the limit, which I understand more or less ( cause my speedometer is in km/h ) is like the trick!, for example in Italy the limit is 70 and if you're going 90 on the speedometer you're ok cause if you're not going more than 10 km/h than the limit they don't fine you and the other 10 km/h is because by law the speedometer isn't precise.. like 5% off the real speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 generally it's speed limit + 10% + 2mph so 30 would be 3560 would be 68but if you see a camera probably best to do the limit and not chance it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 generally it's speed limit + 10% + 2mph so 30 would be 3560 would be 68but if you see a camera probably best to do the limit and not chance it This is only a guideline though not a hard and fast rule. Most cameras will stick to the guideline, but they don't have to. A covert police trap might not stick to it either. Pretty unusual though TBF.
