More ridiculous rules means that I get to break them, but not really do anything horribly bad, and still look like a rebel. I'm totally down with this.

'belle ... you waskly wabbit you.
It's Ok with me. My 64 HP 750 makes such an awesome noise after I start it, that I usually shut it off, and take off all my gear and drive the car instead.
The funny part John, is that we've both ridden in Italy and know that Europeans consistently ignore all traffic rules.
I just hope they never install those stupid speed cameras here.

I think they'd have to amend the state constitution to do that. In New South Wales (Australia) they had to change the law to make the owner of the car (instead of the driver) responsible for speeding tickets before they installed cameras.
