Standard Modified : Roadblock Continuation

Of late, there has been quite a no. of traffic police roadblocks, probably aimed at weeding out errant drivers. This morning, there was one set up at the Sungai Besi motorbike lane; and by the time I got there, many bikes were already parked at the side. All bikes had to slow down to be checked.

The traffic policemen were courteous and professional though. They gave the bike a look-over, asked if there were any modifications and I offered that the important parts were all stock. One of the most important for the checking was the exhaust (thank goodness I didn't install the GPR Grand Prix Evolution). So I was given the go-ahead to proceed.

Looks like standard modified is still the better way to go. Had I changed the exhaust system, I would be shaking like a mice at every roadblock instead of being confident but polite.

Let's see what are the after-market items on my Green Hornet at the moment :

1) Givi V46 and V35 panniers (app RM5,000) - legally-acceptable;
2) MRA Germany windscreen (app RM550) - legally-acceptable;
3) Fairing sliders (app RM500) - legally-acceptable;
4) BM horn (app RM80) - legally-acceptable;
5) Tire rims reflective stickers (app RM20) - legally-acceptable).

A total of app RM6,600 spent on the accessories thus far. So there you have it, folks- keep your bikes well-maintained and in standard modified form! Ride safe!
