Yes the bike will require a valid MOT.Wicky wrote:Greetings
As mentioned the summer season is over and soon the season of salty roads will be upon us. I'm only 50 miles away in the next county but you'll find a few storm owners in Suffolk.
Not sure if your bike will have to conform to UK MOT standards as your headlight could fall foul of the law. Possibly if the wiring hasn't been hacked too much then a standard headlight could be fitted . As for the exhaust unless it's been carefully set up the system probably has decreased the performance. Has it been on dyno?
Hope you like your beer warm and wet! and enjoy riding through the Thetford chase.

Hello and welcome 
You're not far from me, im out on the bike most weekends. My bike is in bits over winter, but as soon as it's back together I would be up for a run up to your area.

Probably your wife was the real reason behind this story....Mav617 wrote:Lovely place Suffolk, don't suppose you were one of the crew in an Apache Longbow watching my wife sunbathing topless on the beach in Lowestoft last year lol?

Welcome to the forum buddy, I have a spare standard headlight unit if you need to have one for the day of the mot...
Hopefully we'll see you out and about in the spring....

Hi mate.
I'm in Suffolk too. Not that far away, in Kesgrave. Unfortunately, my storm hasn't come out of the garage for the last 6 weeks.
On the plus side, this is the driest part of the country, so we may get a few more chances for a ride out before the really crap weather turns up!
It's not a bad ride over to Mildenhall, so I'll let you know if I'm heading that way

Gues who now resides in the UK again? THIS GUY! Anyone around the Thetford area with some extra bits? A quick list of things I need includ rear brake like (braided or not), stock headlight, front turn signals, inner left fairing, all rotors and brake pads, stock exhaust and front and rear seats for a 2005 kawi zzr600. As it stands, the bike is far from road worthy and it going to take some work before I hope to ride it.
