race can

I think I might put the race can back on my cbr1000f this weekend. can
you actualy get done for it ?
dont want to wear out the titanuim road can , cost me 300 notes !

 

Unless it has a 'not for road use' stamp on it, I think you're fine.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, mr p belched forth and ejected the following:

Only by the taste police.

Chuck it on eBay then you tight ****.

 

cant sell the fucker and pass mot, but I think it was tuned for the
race can, some point in its past. Only 2 bolts I guess.

 

In communiqué <>, Whinging

"Powers are available to tackle the problem of illegal noisy exhaust
systems. Under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations
1986, Regulation 54 requires that "every exhaust system and silencer
must be maintained in good and efficient working order and shall not
after the date of manufacture or be altered so as to increase the noise
made by the escape of exhaust gases". Under Regulation 97 it is also an
offence "to use a vehicle in such a manner as to cause any excessive
noise which could have been avoided by the exercise of reasonable care
by the driver". Enforcement of these requirements is by the police and
in the case of maintenance, at MOT.

For motorcycles; it is an additional requirement that
after-market/replacement silencers must not be sold or fitted unless
they bear an appropriate approval mark that differentiates between
acceptable and noisy silencers. Silencers marked "not for road use", or
similar, are illegal if used on public roads. Due to safety
considerations and the practicalities of enforcement at the roadside,
such markings are not required in the case of other vehicles."

From Lords Hansard.

So prolly only the dealer who sold it you is in the frame. IIRC though I
saw something somewhere about fixed penalty notices being issued in
London - but I think that was for *no* silencer.
