The whole point of a motorbike is to get through cage traffic quickly. I was on my way to the BMW rally at Gamische-Partenkirchen making fairly good progress filtering through a 'stau' (traffic jam) in Germany when I heard klaxons behind and a police car was pushing through chasing me. I had no idea it was illegal and I was relieved of €60.
The police also tried to get me on having knobblies on my 1200GS (due to the speed rating) but I insisted the bike was sold with them.
