New EU regulation requiring speed limiters for motorcycles?

Yep, Paul told Ron and myself the open pipe story over a glass of wine. Another piece of Fj lore, right there.
I would like to say something clever and cutting about the EU regs featured in this thread, but I've not read the article as yet.
Besides, it'll doubtless make me angry and bitter, so I'll wait till the end of the school week.
Needless to say, without reading it, I can kinda guess at the general angle; laws manufactured by bureaucrats who've never even sat on a bike. I half remember a safety directive aimed at banning smoked visors or some other piece of biking kit. To prove their point they conducted elaborate experiments using some yellow crosses painted on the road and simulated conditions that bore no relation to situations that a bike riding fellow would never ordinarily come up against. Based on this pseudo scientific approach a misguided piece of legislation was crafted, which ultimately got shredded by some British bikers rights org.
Anyway in summary, like what others have said; ride it while you can

The dark visor ban didn't get defeated Andy, it was put in place.

The helmet makers got around it by having the pull down "sun-visors" (much like those that jet fighter pilots have), behind their normal clear visors which riders can push up as soon as conditions dictate without raising their exterior visor. The EU law makers accepted this as a compliant option for riders.

Ok another piece of the puzzle solved. I picked up a nice Nolan lid for my UK,  TT adventure in 2018 and it came with one of those funky flip down shades. If worked real well and I then wondered why a top brand like Arai ( the lid I have for the US) didn't have such a useful feature. So well done manufacturers for circumnavigating that one.
