Quick one.

I got the bike MOT'd last week with the termi's on and a power commander fitted and they didnt' bat an eyelid at it and passed it straight away. That being the case do you think the mot station were being a bit 'liberal' with the definitions or, if not, whats the point of not having those settings/sounds straight from the factory?

Unless the exhaust actually has "Not for road use" obviously plastered across it, most testers won't fail the bike for a race can (or two)

Given the extents that those sanctimonious b@stards in Westminster have already gone to with anti bike legislation, I can't help but wonder how long it will be before a "noise test" is added to the MOT.

I understand you can now score points for getting caught with a dark visor! What next.

Rant... Rant...

edited to say, I see there is another thread on visors!
