[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 86422, member: 58"] I would guess Norvin's, tritons, Egli's and any bike that consists of parts from different manufacturers would not qualify. For an age related application the vehicle needs to look as it would when it left the factory. Disc brakes, Norton gearboxes in Comets, modern style telescopic forks on a Vincent all disqualify a bike at the point of an age related application and it looks like that is what the DVLA will be following. I rang the DVLA yesterday about something else and so mentioned the new MOT rules coming in and the person I spoke to said they didn't know anything about it. I wouldn't consider things like panniers, 12v electrics and different ignition systems would cause a problem, but the decision won't be mine. One question I have is curently a motorcycle made before 1960 is MOT exempt and doesn't have any conditions attached to that, it just purely based on age. Will that stay the same or will pre 1960 vehicles be subjected to the new rules? I bet this time next year the DVLA will still be as confused as ever. Simon [/QUOTE]
