lol. I'd have to get a towbar fitted to the car, plus I quite like the idea of having it road worthy :p

Yeh my tzr250 had one. It's just a normal mot but with an advisory saying that it has no lights etc

Don't forget to take a pump, 4psi or whatever you need off road will knacker them on road, and 20psi+ will be useless for triallie stuff

That's awesome, I love stuff like that, takes a lot of skill and balance, not keen on him being a knob in traffic though.

I've never ridden a trials bike properly, but being able to do stuff like that would be awesome. :cool:

Yeah the traffic stuff is a bit unnecessary

Technically there's no such thing as a daytime MOT. It's a normal MOT with advisories about there being no lights fitted at the time of the test and that the vehicle should only be used in the hours of daylight. The MOT Testers Manual covers every point of the test, and there are specific sections about how to carry out a test on a vehicle that has no lights or indicators fitted. If your MOT man won't test the bike because it doesn't have lights or indicators fitted then he's not adhering to the rules and really ought to be reported to VOSA for it.

Personally, I'd just go and find a different MOT place with a more enlightened tester and have them do my bikes instead.
