Must ride with headlamp on during the day (certainly in France, probably others as well).
I found this out the hard way; got nicked and fined by Gendarmes at a roadside checkpoint last August.
Copper may well find other, possibly more serious stuff while they've got you. He had a good nose thru all my stuff; said the camping stove was illegal to carry on the bike.
Wanted to know why address on driving licence was different to address on registration document.
I remember a story about someone who ended up getting the whole bike confiscated cos he got stopped for a missing wing mirror.
Don't give them a reason to stop you!
