Its hard to imagine that kind of weight.There are a few based down the road from me If Im late for work you can guarantee its because I got stuck behind one. There amazing things when on site I can't help but watch them for awhile.What were you doing to that then?
Could it be tractors that you are talking about, recently I was very surprised that my 16 year old grandson is allowed to drive a tractor and trailer on public roads after a very short test, scary.As to MOT's I think that they are a good thing even though I hate taking my bikes in for one, my 76 F1 passes every year no problem but my 2000 Deauville failed yesterday due to a perished valve on the back tyre, something that I did not spot that could have turned out to be nasty. Not used to these modern tubeless tyres.CheersDennis
About time too but.....i personally think its a bad move from the safety aspect. The DfT are assuming we are all experts in maintaining our old bikes to a high standard of safety. Well, I could never admit to having enough knowledge to ensure my bikes are 100% safe, I want an expert to look at it for me and advise me. I have seen bikes recently out on the road and I dare to say on this forum also that are death traps and should fail an MOT. Just my thoughts on it.
