Most of my day today was spent driving my completely unregistered Caterham to caterham midlands for a post build check. I used the MOT loophole to allow me to drive it to an MOT centre and then on to a place of repair. I passed 4 cops (one on foot) and was tailed by an unmarked car for a couple of miles but none of them bothered to stop me! ____________________ current: ducati monster 750

Lucky, last time I drove a kit car for an IVA, I got stopped twice and missed my appt.
Everything all good with the build? I seem to recall a friend failing for not having the strength of the bolts stamped on the ones holding the seat railings down. ____________________ Previous: GSF600, FZR600 x2, ZXR750, XT600 Tenere, CB125, CZ125, ETZ 250, ER5, CCM R30, DRZ400, RF600x4, RF900x2, GS500, VTR1000F, 640 SMC, CB250 NIGHTHAWK, GT550x3, GPX750 TE610, CB500, X11x2, SV650, ZING 125, TL1000R,CB250 Superdream, CBR1100XX |

<FACT>Coppers' vision is based on registration plates.</FACT>
Oh, right, you got one of those fancy kit cars with all the bits in the kit.
I threw together a T&J Locust in my follacious youth. The ladderframe, plastics, and the plans for the aluminium skimmed plywood body tub arrived, and that was that. No instructions, nowt else. This was pre-intardtubes, so the build process was more MacGyver than Mecanno.
Brilliant laugh though, and in them days, all you needed was an MOT from the local spanner monkey to get road legal.
Also, fuelolium was 2 1/2p per gallon and the local Bobby was required to give you three "Boys will be boys" warnings before prosecuting you for speeding. 100% true to the best of my recollection. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Is one of the races at Brands? If so and you have a spare ticket let me know and I could come down and take some photos of you whizzing round.
Even if you ain't got a spare let me know and I might pop down if I'm free. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

They probably gave it a moments thought, then decided their 1.6 Astra diesel was not going to be able to catch a Catty if you made off, so couldn't be bothered.
That or the ANPR database network wasn't working that day and they didn't know. ____________________ 2007 BMW R1200R: On road
