[QUOTE="vince998, post: 18850, member: 261"] Welcome to the world of TUV (here in Germany anyway) Luckily, none of them know what a vincent is, and all they want to do is have a ride to "test the brakes" If you ride a modern bike then it´s not so easy. You´re only allowed to fit manufacturer approved parts. You´re even told which tires you´re allowed to ride with!! This gives special builders a really hard time as all mods have to be approved by the TUV and can run into the 1000s (also for private mod freaks) I also ride a 1990 FJ1200, and i´ve found that the older these "youngtimers" are becoming and the harder parts are to source, the more forgiving the inspectors are becoming. (i can no longer buy the 16" Metzeler tyres stated in my vehicle docs, so they have had to give me a free card to ride whatever i can get. I´ve converted to 17" and now can ride modern rubber :D) It sounds like you guys have got it all coming your way, but i wouldn´t worry about the older bikes. what do they want to do, ban anything thats not standard? This would cost them way to much in lost revenue (tax on fuel, tax on parts, tax on insurance etc). Apart from that, what is a standard Vin? Is there any such thing? If it does ever come into force, then from a relatively recent point in time methinks. [/QUOTE]
