I think they may have been actually, or on their way back at least ;-)

Can't seem to find any recent legislation, but a Thames Valley MAG newsletter says that if you can get away with it fine, but if the law offer you a "retraction notice" then take it and get a new pipe!

Re: What the worst that can happen?

My bike passed with a "not for road use" exhaust on it 11 months ago. It got one of them yellow advisory notices about being a bit noisy but that was it. Apparantly it's not the Mot guys job to police the can just his job to make sure the emmisions and noise lever are ok. I am going to need an mot in April so will take the last report with me and by any luck hope that the next guy shares his views.
I think the problem would be the insurance would be voided though so when the renewal comes through I will ask if it can be insured with this exhaust.

You do NOT get points for number plate or exhaust offences, what ever he got points for it was not that. The usual way to deal with it is a rectification notice (with or without a FPN depending on the copper) or for repeat offenders a prosecution leading to a greater fine.

Just found this from an official site.
Will I get points on my licence for a naughty number plate?

No. The maximum fine is £1,000. But the actual registration mark can be withdrawn by the DVLA as well, which then makes the bike illegal for road use.
