DO NOT REMOVE IT!

If you remove it instead of getting a 30 pound fine & a request for a MOT, you get points on your license. I can't remember the exact details of it, if it comes under fraud or not. But I do remember that removing it is worse that leaving it on.

Can one of the resident policemen clarify?

Not a but I can confirm that your post is B.A.S.A.T. Compliant.

I think it's something to do with "attempting to pervert the course of justice" or summat like that.

With great respect, that's very silly advice.

That makes no sense, because a baffled can with no baffle won't have a not for road use mark on it - so what's the difference?

Sorry, badly worded. A can with the removable baffle taken out won't have a 'not for road use' stamp on it, so why is that any different to a race can without a stamp on it?

I see your point, and accept what you say, but what's it got to do with the thread?

If you remove the wording it can be construed as 'Perverting the course of justice'.

If you do decide to remove the stamp, you'll have to grind it off and work with progressively finer abrasives until the finish is indestiguishable from the other metalwork of the can.

Ride tidy in built up areas and try to keep the noise down at unsociable hours. This will help avoid a tug but by no means makes you immune to the full weight of the law!

Your choice bro'!
