Annual Debacle and Bribary

If you think that the current MOT is bad wait til you see what Europe has in store for us. Checkout the MAG website.

Better still think about joining as they seem to be the only ones fighting this and many other issues that effect our biking freedoms.

Cheers to those who know me and Shw mae to all those who don't. (That's a greeting not an insult)

Welcome and about time to. Shw mae? You gone native on us, Old boy?

You'll be drinking beer next and forsaking all apple based alcoholic beverages..................

Good to see you in the circus...

Wotcha Oz !

Have read about that in the MOT Tester Magazine thats sent to work.
Sounds scary after some of the things I've seen put in for MOT.

You doing The Dragon ?

Hi Jethro

It's truly frightening what Europe has in store for us. Current road worthiness tests like our MOT may be replaced by a new Europe wide test requiring checks to see riders only use maintenance and repair parts, luggage, accessories etc that are approved by the manufacturer of the original bike or the EU itself. (This could potentially include tyres!!) An enhanced German TuV standard could be on the way.
Remember only 1% of accidents are caused by machine defects.

The bureaucrats in Europe are clearly bonkers. We've already had the new test fiasco and they're now discussing compulsory Advanced Braking Systems,headlamps being permanently lit and preventing engine modifications. And how about compulsory rider clothing and airbags.

Looking on the bright side, yes I am going to The Dragon. I take it you'll be haulling large quantities of real ale in the sidecar.

Every year a mobile test truck comes up the mountains from Málaga and parks in the next village to us so that the 50cc bikes and scooters can be tested from the 3 villages up here. The ITV test is compulsory for all vehicles over 3 years old.  

It rained heavily today... so no-one turned up to have their machines tested.  

They should have checked the forecast...  

Andalucia...  Rules? What rules
