Hi, Im a new member here. I just picked up my brand new 1250 naked from Procycles Hornsby yesterday. I'm almost home when Im pulled over by a Highway Patrol car behind me. It's a new bike, I]know I'm riding very carefully and certainly not breaking any laws.
I'd been auto checked as an unregistered vehicle, seems that my rego hadn't come onto the RTA's listing yet but all was OK once my temporary rego sticker was checked out by "Mr Plod" who was very nice. He just gave me a quick breath test and wished me enjoyment with my new bike.
I did the Road Warriors Cafe/PITS run this morning to rip the 'wax' off my tyres. Now have 103kms on the clock and just loving it, but had to keep a keen eye on the speed as I saw three separate standard patrol cars plus the 'Gold unmarked' Commodore out in force today

Welcome,
it's a definite disadvantage of the big city, high concentration of bikers leads to high concentration of police, of course the road you mention is over supplied with idiots.

Welcome to the Bandit house 
You can quite safely add 7% to you're speed. The Bandit is no different to most electronic speedo'ed bikes so an indicated 100 is about 93 - 94

Hi and welcome BS. Hang on, that dont sound right. 
How did you come up with that tag ? ( Great album by the way.) Neat story on your very first ride on the new bike. He probably just wanted to have a look see.
