Anything for a quick buck. As motorcycle riders we all know about the advantages when riding at night of seeing properly, and being seen properly. The stock lights supplied on our motorcycles are often not enough. Adding HID Xenon Lights will solve the problem, giving you much more light, and makes you more visible on the road. But the Parisian Police has started stopping all motorcycle that are equipped with these lights, quoting an obscure law that forbids you to modify lights on a motorcycle without the express written permission by the safety bureaucrats. Even if the Xenon lights have been installed by approved mechanics, using approved equipment, you're still at fault. Lights that have received approval by the same French government bureaucrats can not be used. Not only do you have to take off the Xenon lights, but also you get the obvious fine, which is the real and only reason they've stopped you. When will these persecutions stop?
