Re: Thinking of riding without the baffels in
i think and im not sure, all that will happen is they will give you a producer slip which means you have to take you bike to a mot station and get them to sign it off as being road legal, then all you do is go home put baffles back in take it to test station etc.
but i am in know way endorsing you to break the law

Re: Thinking of riding without the baffels in
The police will only stop you for no baffle if your riding like an idiot, the large majority of on here dont seem to have a problem baffle less.

Baffles?
What are they, then?

Re: Thinking of riding without the baffels in
Never had a problem and my bike was just checked to see if it could do track days with a max volume of 105db. I failed misserably with a whopping 122db at 6k rpm. as long as you keep it kind of quiet around town and dont do something stupid then your not going to get into any trouble.

Re: Thinking of riding without the baffels in
The baffel fell out of mine due to bad build quality
 So I've just stuck it under the seat for just in case. |

Re: Thinking of riding without the baffels in
riding out to the Cat & Fiddle pub in Maccledfield on monday when Mr Plod stopped me for my "small" number plate. He noticed my blue flame twin prt carbon can didnt have an E or BS stamp and gave me a ticket. I had to put my original can (god does it sound crap) back on and take it to an MOT station to get it signed off as OK. He also gave me a £30 fine for the number plate.
this was all done "to reduce fatalities on Derbyshires roads". Havnt these people got lives? He even told me they were out targeting bikes. ruined my day! |
