It was a '58' plate so surely isn't due to get an MOT for 18 months or so. Was also impressed that police spent a lot of time 'fixing faults'; the only ones I've been involved with when I had a fault (no rear light on a bike) suggested I "tried some WD40"... Another found a stolen car some years ago and told me they'd been watching it for a couple of days, but it was alright because 'we've disabled it'... how? They removed the HT lead on cylinder 1. Oh well. At least I'm not suffering from N.Yorkshire's policing.

I suppose the rider would have to get an MOT station to certify that a permanent repair had been made, after a rectification notice had been served, as the "repair" was a bodge with tape or somesuch. -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS

While you're at it, ask the BBC why they're talking bollocks again. In that clip, the Police Team intercept a guy on a bike in a pub car park. The bike is apparently leaking fuel. The reporter says: "And once he's fixed it, he'll have to get a new MOT before he can use his bike on the road again". I hope she was talking bollocks, anyway. -- Pip: B12

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Pip" <gingerbloke(a)gmail.com> saying something like: > The reporter says: "And once he's >fixed it, he'll have to get a new MOT before he can use his bike on the >road again". You know what journos are like. Copper probably mentioned the bike would fail an MoT with a fuel leak and perhaps issued a rectification notice - journo couldn't get her pretty little head around such technical issues and performed mental shorthand on it, resulting in bollocks. But hey, it's only telly, so it's all right - ephemeral tripe. |
