[QUOTE="tom_vincent_rapide, post: 139338, member: 5068"] Hello everybody. I am new to this forum. Graham (webmaster of this forum) suggested to post the question on this forum and hopefully someone will know the answer. Apologies if I posted this thread in the wrong section. I have a Vincent HRD Rapide (B series) from 1948 and recently I took it for a so called vehicle safety test in order to register it and be able to finally start riding it legally on the roads. However, at the test center they told me that I need to give them some additional information like what is the maximum allowed weight my machine can take (I assume that this is something like motorbike+rider+luggage etc), but also information if possible what is the max allowed load on each axle (front and rear). I couldn't find that information anywhere online. All docs and tech information available is just basically engine details, tyre sizes and info about dry weight of this motorbike, but nothing about what is/was the max weight of the load. Does anybody nowadays will even know that information, especially that motorbike is from 1948? I have the VOC certificate for this machine issues back in December 2017, but unfortunately it didn't come with much additional technical information. If its possible, could you please post what is the approx [B]max allowed weight[/B] Vincent HRD can take and/or what is the [B]max allowed load for each axle[/B]? With that info, I will be able to start riding this great machine and finally register it! Kind regards and many thanks for any help in the above matter, Tom. [/QUOTE]
