New MOT Law

Im thinking its good if you have a pre 1960 bike & also that there will be a lot of rusty relic motorbikes back on the road that are quite possibly death traps

 

And I think you have hit the nail on the head....

 

Yeah but the people who are likely to put a pre 60s bike back on the road are the ones that tend to look after them and wouldn't ride a death trap. 9 times out of 10 a 17 year old lad would prefer an r6 with an mot rather than restoring a matchless enough to get it running and riding do you not think?

 

Would you get away with putting a pre-60 plate on an R1?

 

What more do you need? :smile:

 

That sounds like a line from 'The Dukes of Hazzard'! Mind you, that Daisy could've had it, even for a biggish bird! :wink:

 

What worries me is that it applies to all vehicles.

How about this as a concern.
New vehicles do not need an MOT for 3 years. Who is to say that the mech doing the PDI is any good. Had a 3 yr old car that broke its gearbox. On removal the garage found rusty parts - no oil from new, well very little.

 

Daisy certainly wern't no biggish bird... Well fit..
