Another Ditch Pump!

Is that advice from the seventies

Seriously though mate someone (twat) told me the law had changed and it had to be on a trailer bike or car

 

It's not a grey area as it's in black and white on the .gov.uk website.
In addition the vehicle MUST be insured.

That's what it says on the website, you CAN drive it to an MOT station for testing. I wouldn't chance riding it home though, that's not the same as riding it to a garage where it's been booked in for repairs. I reckon you'd get nicked for that but I guess it's down to the individual how far they want to stretch the rules.

 

It’s expected that the testing station will do the repairs if needed. If your booked in at a garage for repairs then it’s obviously not fit to use, if on the other hand your booked for an mot then it’s not necessarily unroadworthy but just not tested at that present time. Does that make more sense?

 

If the mot is out a month fair dos but if it hasn't had an mot for ten years I'm sure you could get nicked for using a dangerous vehicle pre booked mot or not

 

Yes you can if the bike is deemed dangerous to an officer. But it is down to the user to ensure the said vechile is road worthy as in tyres brakes and electrics.

It all gets a bit daft when you realise many old vehicles don't even need an MOT...

I've three bikes which don't require an mot not a problem as I maintain them

 

Yes I just don’t get that

And not a single Triumph in sight...

 

Omg As I’ve seen some dozy incompetent classic owners over the years as I work in that line...
