Couple of hopefully slightly better quality pics from today after doing a bit of work on the electrical connectors and fiting some lovely waterproof sealed units that Crust soldered up for me. Still waiting for some carbon from Italy before it's finished for the winter... Won't be long now i hope.
In the United States the people (government) that registers the bikes are getting more and more picky about what they will register. The safe thing to do is to have a bike that comes from the factory with a license plate - which the 2006 and newer have. I think he wants to know if they will register the bike without problems.
Ah right, We have what's known as an MOT in the UK. 12 monthly, saftey, roadworthy check. Basically with an SM you can get away witha few things, e.g lack of indicators and mirrors due to the seat height. However you only get a 'daytime' MOT. When it comes to MOT time i'll fit the indicators and mirrors for the day to get it through, then removing them again for aesthetics reasons. So, i guess the answer is 'No'.... but can be sorted
In the usa it is more of a 'smog'/pollution issue, they only want clean running vehicles on the road. So the DMV (your MOT, the agency name varies by state) only lets certain vehicles be registered. But the registration rules are different depending on the state (your 'regions of England'?) I am getting to know more and more people in the UK, and Reading. Do you ride the A329? (I may have asked that already, sorry if I did).
You sure you don't mean the 339 ? the 329 is like a 'bypass' a 2 lane highway. The 339 is about 5 miles from my doorstep and yes, i ride it. Different areas of it are more suited to different bikes. The SM section is the bit by my door We have a simillar emissions test here as part of the MOT. Althogh about from 2t's i've not known any modern bikes to have any issues.
I'm at a disadvantage because I've never been there, all I have is a map on the internet http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&s...e=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Reading, United Kingdom&z=12
I work at the bottom of the D in Reading... At the bottom of the A329 there's a cracking industrial estate for playing in... but bascially that's a 150mph road, not an SM road. Distance of that section on your map is about 8 miles. HAve a look for a place called 'Wantage' and see the A339 to Newbury... that's much more fun
So... you take the A33 to A339 then to Newbury? Through Basingstoke? Regardless, it appears you are quite close to Husky Sport (A on the map), which could be a good thing depending on how thick your wallet is. http://www.huskysport.co.uk/
Ohh...that bike is so pretty...that blue and yellow paint scheme was so powerful, I wonder why husky changed it ? Weeksy; can you guys in England pass the MOT (DMV ?) with non conventional turn signals, like for an example a strip of LED’s ?
Yes coffee, not too far at all. ABout 30 mins in the car with my little lad in the back getting all excited Last weekend on the way home from Huskysport Believe it or not, he was trying to smile... honest Muddy, LEDS's are OK yes. Basically if it can be seen and flashes at the right speed, in the right colour, you're OK. Quite a lot of our cars run LED's as standard.
Tried dirt when i bought it as i have the TE wheels, it's not really my thing with an engine. With pedals, i'm there, count me in... but with an engine... Hmmmmm nah, not really.
