[QUOTE="chstorm, post: 34037, member: 411"] Hi Dag - some advice from a fellow Norwegian Vincent owner. We have had these problems with the Norwegian State MOT stations before. However, it is a fact that they cannot demand this information from you for historic vehicles more than 30 years old. Your local MOT inspectors probably don't know this - they are used to modern vehicles where such information is available and mandatory. Tell them that they may contact the Sentral Unit in Oslo, at Risløkka MOT station, (Risløkka Trafikkstasjon). Bjørn Geilo at Risløkka is in charge of all enquiries regarding historic vehicles and their registration. Normally they will weigh the vehicle (curb weight) and add 2 x 75 kilos for two persons + 50-75 kilos for luggage which will give the gross weight (total loaded weight) for the vehicle. Provided the bike is in more or less original condition, registration should be unproblematic. If it is "customised/modernised" you may have problems since the identity and production year of the bike may be in doubt. Regards, Carl :) [/QUOTE]
