Police portable dyno and unrestricted bike

[ARS125]

How many of you guys have or do ride unrestricted bikes on a restricted license? e.g a RS125 on a CBT.

Assuming the bike is insured as being restricted, is the risk really high when pulled over?

The portable dyno that they can bring is also of concern. But i imagine they would only do this if you was clearly riding unrestricted.

Who in 2017 even knows what a two stroke is?

Oh and I've never seen this mythical every force has got one portable dyno either, has anyone?
I do suspect it's a scary story that's migrated over from Europe where some countries have much stricter police forces, and 25mph moped laws but with 1000's of them being a nuisance and causing accidents, deaths and antisocial problems.

I did 15 years ago but that's not very relevant to now.

What portable dyno do plod have? It'd be cheaper and easier for them to seize the vehicle and have it inspected than to call out a mobile dyno.

The only occasions I've seen on here of people getting busted for riding a derestricted bike are people who've fucking admitted it so don't do that.

If / when you get stopped by traffic plod then don't worry and don't crap yourself. If you're stood there looking nervous and guilty as hell then they're more likely to take an interest in you than if you give it the yes officer, no officer, of course officer, thank you officer, etc etc etc.

Act as if you're doing nothing wrong. Act as if you've got every right to be riding around on that bike. Don't be like the people you see on Police Interceptors who when asked which insurance company they're with, stand there ummmm'ing and arrrr'ing whilst trying to think of a lie.

[Fizzoid]

That's the thing. Say you write off your RS125 that's not learner legal. Are they really going to put the effort in getting it running and dyno'd?

Agree on the attitude test, fail that and the police will want to nick you for anything they can find

What I want to know though is did Lawrence Hill actually sell this awesome machine with such a well written advert though?

"bike can be sold with or without MOT up to the buyer"

wtf... yes I will take your home made imagrinary top speeding piece of shit without an MOT..

It will be exactly the same reason that it is difficult to test zosts.

They need to use a government approved and calibrated meter.
They must have had up to date training on the equipment.
And ensure that there is a Job Safety Analysis done.
So they can put a watertight case to court.

They get eggheads from DVSA (Formerly VOSA) to test and report.

It is so easily challenged so the Po Po turn a blind eye.

Unless they know what to look for like NFRU stamps etc.

Grey area.

Possibly in a serious RTA the vehicle would be inspected for modification.
(But mibby they only do that for the plot of a NCIS M&S NCD or whatever that show is called.)

Or as a pincer operation to capture bikers for a Chief Inspector's Statistical Campaign.

Well I suppose they had to do something with all the old "TV Detector Vans".

Anyone ever seen a Police portable dyno? The Bemsee one is on a 7.5T truck.

Even if they don't have a portable tester but do have a Bee in their Bonnets they can always give you a producer and send you to a Place of Testing.. Possibly at your expense.

They still inconvenience you.

So long as your number plate ticks the ANPR boxes and your not riding it like a bell end, what are the chances of plod stopping you? Since Friday I have done roughly 1000 miles mainly on motorways and A roads. Saw one marked traffic dibble sat on a bridge over motorway, by a junction at about 5 this morning. Not seen any more jam sandwiches and occasionally I have *allegedly been going fast enough to irk an unmarked one, should one be about.

[Ste]

If they give you a producer then then that'd be an acceptable result as it won't tell them anything about how derestricted your bike is.

I wouldn't worry about it, OP.

Given the amount of posts that appear here, about imploding RS125's, it's highly unlikely that you'll actually be spending much time at all riding it.
Most of your time will be spent taking it apart, spending money on parts, putting it back together, ride for ten minutes, rinse and repeat.
The chances of you actually encountering a, mythical, portable plod dyno, considering the time it'll actually be on the road, are very slim indeed.

Buy more spanners and a selection of spark plugs!

When it's a 125 I wouldn't worry about it at all, unlikely to come across an officer that knows it's too powerful for a 125 and even more unlikely for them to get a dyno machine to test.

Have heard of it being done for big bikes when people ride sports litre bikes on A2.

On a multi-cylinder bike, simply pop off a plug cap when stopped and put it in your pocket.

If a single. Well. That would still work. Soz officer, broken. Will need to call recovery.

Even putting the choke on would probably outfox most of them.
