33 bhp restriction woes

[Scootaloo]

Hello

Got bike impounded, need to provide a certificate of restriction for them to release it...

Only other option is get a company to come and collect the bike on a trailer and take it to the official dealership for restriction or I can pay to have it scrapped... leaning towards the latter as I will be facing a speeding fine next month so licence is going to be revoked anyway so no sense on spending extra.

Thought I'de just tell you so you can laugh N such.

So, you need to find your copy of a restrictor certificate then?

My certificate and restrictors came from kickstart engineering on e-bay
only about £50, arrived quickly and easy to fit.

How can you be restricted to 33bhp? The new rules must have come in over two years ago, and so either your restriction has expired, or you're on the 46.6bhp restriction.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

The cut off was January something(might be 19th) so restriction might not be up for a few months yet.

Hi

Agree with Marjay.

From this post of yours you passed your test about 3 months over 2 years ago so your 33hp restriction should have expired.

All the best

[MC]

Don't scrap the bike

Its not the bikes fault

Where did it get impounded? If it's near London I can turn up with a bike trailer and take it away to be restricted (or 'restricted').

Can a friend with a full licence collect for you as it's now "theirs"

You don't have much luck do you.

I'm unsure what happens when you get done for drink driving, did you resit the test or just get it back?

[andyscooter]

pretty sure drink driving/riding carrys a year ban as a minimum

not sure if it would affect the restiction running out or carrying on though

thats if op was done for it in the first place

OK, then here's what I'd do in your situation.

Put something in writing asserting that you've tried to recover the vehicle with proof of insurance and license. Assert that it is 25kW restricted and that the onus on them is to show otherwise.

Let the pound monkeys scrap it.

Spend the impound money on a pushbike.

Invoice the pound and/or the Plodforce for unlawfully disposing of your vehicle.

Start down the route to a small claim.

That's what I'd do. You, god knows.

Let me get this straight?

You have been done, riding without a correct license, while speeding, within 3 months of being caught drink driving? (I say 3 months, assuming that you took the course to reduce the ban).

If you get summoned for these offenses, I really can't see the magistrate taking it easy on you, especially considering you're less than 3 months off a drink drive ban.

If you needed the car, then all the more reason why you have been an idiot, by firstly drink driving in the first place, then riding without the correct license, and then by speeding.

I'd just get it scrapped.
