Re: Putting a Race bike on the road (legally)
 
You can leave the brake light fitted for the MOT, but if it's fitted they will test it and expect it to work. For riding on the road the lighting regulations will only apply to your bike if you have a front or rear position lamp. On a solo motorcycle a headlight counts as a front position lamp. Be careful with your brake light. Most modern lamps are dual element, so if you have the brake light there you probably still have the position lamp. The way round this is to remove some of the wiring to the position lamp (a lamp shall not be regarded as such if it cannot be readily connect to a power supply), or fit an aftermarket single element bulb/unit.
You need a speedo to ride on the road, but most sat navs have this capability so that is the easiest fix. You also need tax and insurance......

WTH, you don't even need a key for an MOT? Crazy.

Why would you need a key?

I dunno, I just thought it would be some sort of requirement. But hey.
