ive just been looking through the mot testers manual but cant find anything about rear view mirrors. does this mean they are not a requirement for the mot or have i just missed something?

No, there is no legal requirement to have mirrors fitted to your bike.

hmmmmmmm

i broke my left mirror

well i didnt , i went to get her warmed up this morning and found it on the floor it had snaped from the metal the only reason i can think of is it was very windy last night and i had a fence 2 be 4 laying next to my bike so i think that could be the reason ?

It could have been a bit of fence or a massive rolled up carpet? Ermmm, okay, surely you can tell the difference between a rolled up carpet and a bit of fence? Laughing

I don't quite see where a massive rolled up carpet might have come from but if there are winds strong enough to blow the fence down then it could break your mirror off if your bike is next to the fence.

I cant imagine riding without mirrors, I use them all the time. The twats out on the road nowadays I think they are needed.

Riding without mirrors is a good way to learn how to do your observations and lifesavers properly.

I will be riding 150 miles down the M6 on Thursday with no mirrors.

i had no mirrors on my ns125, so i got used to ridint without, then my vfr had them, but when i went down, i broke one and a car took the other one off, so i had none, but i just got some and have yet to put them on

so i can ride with or without them
