How long ago was this experience? The Morini Riders Club have successfully done over 150 dating certificates in the last couple of years, indeed the club’s machine registrar has been called upon by the DVLA themselves to help clear up a few cases where we haven’t been previously involved. It’s true...

My experience with DVLA was that they wouldn't accept a dating certificate as proof of age - despite the club paying the requisite fee to be the recognised authority on dating Morinis. They would rather trust the data from "Glass's Check Book" - fortunately the Moto Guzzi club were very he...

You haven't by any chance got a Sport speedo cable have you?

Possibly a daft question, can the shoes be mounted the wrong way round?

I have the Yamaha YZF125R that I bought to learn on, which gets used during the winter months as it has fuel injection, engine management and starts on the button. And a 1994 Honda RVF400 which always needs a bit of coaxing into life... It was whilst on a track day at Snettterton on the Honda that I...

I have a USA import which had the LH gearchange, plus a box of bits. I can take some pics and/or measure up the cross tube locations if you want.

To my mind that made balancing carefully for idle seem a bit pointless Twin SU manifolds normally have a balance pipe ...

I had a similar issue recently, DVLA wouldn't accept a photo of the chassis sticker with the build date clearly written on it as evidence of when it was made! After some to-ing and fro-ing with dating certificates, the Glass's check book (which seems to be the only reference the DVLA will actually a...

In a Joyce Grenfell style...

Now now children, this is a family forum

I bought one from Nuovaray which was quick and easy, it was pre-brexit and import duties though

It's nice to see that the bikes all have signs of regular use, they aren't just sat in a museum or cosseted in a collection

Having sent DVLA the Glass's info with no details in it they have decided that they would be able to accept a dating certificate as proof of age....just like the one I had originally sent them that they said wasn't acceptable as proof of age... !! However they couldn't provide a new 'age related' 19...

If you fancy a laugh... here is the extract from the publication that DVLA trust to provide reliable dating evidence !
