All credit to you Coggy, riding in Preston in January.

Nice ride, I’m a little jealous. I was looking for a used R1200RT of K1600GT in police livery. I don’t want idiots running into me though it’s not a 100% guarantee they still won’t.... f i n a l l y completed the annual MOT on the '94 ...
... got rejected 3 times prior ...
Nah! Technically everything in top notch...
observing my ST's literally leaping out their brake tester every time makes me grin; not used to firm, prompt stoppers they grab them way too heavy... uoops!
They complained about way other things:
- 1st attempted inspection: ... errr, sorry those amber signal lights have to come off...
so I took those off....
- 2nd attempted inspection: ... but that model year had no running lights, and the reflective "french rear" doesn't comply...
grrr... couldn't have told me that last time, couldn't you?!
pinned the 5 watt running lights out the front turn-signal connectors, cracked out the heat-gun to peel the red/day-glow chevrons off the rear...
- 3rd attempted inspection: ... the reflective foil on the sides doesn't have CE-mark ...
WHAT IN THE A... ??!!!
a) I'm running this bike in this livery since ten years without any issue ever
b) can't you guys cough up a list containing e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. right away instead of teasing people?!!
I was fuming... A.H's.!
OK, back to the hangar, another gig with the heat-gun... the adhesive eraser wheel... and other things...
4th visit now was the charm, outta there in 10 minutes, with the sticker... bullocks...
So road assistance/support livery isn't much appreciated over here...
Possible intensified EC regulations or such... Orwell look down...
Maybe cause those with darn LED headlights might dazzle themself for a change, who knows...
Anyway, road legal again, non reflective day-glow set in the pipeline...
prev look for the archives...
