    As an aside, how is it legal to install spiked bolt caps on the front of your motorbike fairing?

    If they collide with anyone - even at low speed - a standard bolt cap compared with a spiked one could mean the difference between a minor injury and serious injury/death.

      The reason it’s legal? Because it’s not illegal.

      ha ha

      But seriously, the chances are so low that it was likely never considered. Politicians have to pass a law to make something like that illegal, and what politician is even going to think about this, much less bring it up for a vote?
