Guys,
I just got this from MCN:
We're first with this breaking news. Go to the link and read about
it in full!
Motorcycle owners registered with the Department of Vehicle Licence
and Administration are being informed of a new Department of
Transport and the Regions initiative. A large number of motorcycles
deemed by the Government to be 'unreasonably and uncontrollably
powerful' are now required by law to have limiters fitted. Research
carried out by a select committee has shown that enforced speed
restriction will reduce road traffic accidents involving motorcycles
by up to 80%. This is just one in a series of road safety
initiatives announced by the transport authorities today.
Further information regarding the new Road Traffic directives can be
found at

No it's not - it works, you've got a problem with your subnet/proxy (poxy) server M8...

Some of the manufacturers have installed "limiters" for the really quick bikes (GSZR1000 and ZX-12R) to name a few. Its gonna make a real difference to accident figures - NOT - they dont go any more than 186mph!!! What a joke.
Im all for limiting top speed but not power!!! Accelaration is what bike are about. Otherwise you might as well drive a scooby all the time!!

Of course - because the mail came from MCN, it didn't occur to me that it may be a joke so just clicked on the link in the mail. I enterted my bike details and was presented with the large lady.....
I was well and truly suckered in... Doh!!!

Now this is quite good.. The joke's dead now, but the URL (http://1056879256) is quite a good 'un. It's a decimal representation of an IP address...
Being sad, it equates to 62.254.178.152
Quite a neat technique for further obfuscating the server name though. Like it.
