I was happy to ride around with no helmet on. I was just very suprised that a WOF tester asked me to do it in a public place.

I agree. I see (some) point in wearing a helmet at low speeds, the way i see it if it is a test, you are going to be going slower than you can run then it is as fine AS LONG AS you are prepared for if something god wrong. Plus if there is anything wrong with your bike (early signs of bad death or bearing noise etc) you can hear this without a helmet while you can not hear it with the helmet on.

BUT you need to be prepared if you are riding without a helmet-be prepared that you will see a hazard the moment it appears insted of trusting that having a helmet will make it fine.

at low speeds all your going to do is damage your riding gear! gear dosent repair itself, but bones do!

Thats why i apply both brakes when he askes for the front or the rear

Safer for you if you just fix it mate.

[xwhatsit]

I thought you only needed the rear brake light? Or is that only for old bikes?

Ixion will be along shortly with the appropriate chapter and paragraph from the WoF handbook...

and what if you put your foot in some car oil and smack your head on the concrete floor? brains dont often heal themselves.

brains dont often come out when you fall over.

Are you wearing a helmet right now?

[crazyhorse]

So???? did you check it yet? Was it dirty??? Well?

You need A brake light when a service brake is applied - it doesn't say which one.There are nit picky types who will say if it's fitted it must work - however,nowhere in the VIRM does it say this.

I'm a bit concerned with how people spell ''brake'' in this thread.I'm hoping it will be rectified soon....

I WANT my Brake Light to work when using Front, Back, or both.

I always thought `brake' was spelled with the `e' in a different place?

Or am I thinking about `gargre'.

[Taz]

You are obviously computer literate so learn to use spell check and it will teach you spelling for nothing.......

[gwigs]

I saw a break in the weather and I used my brake to stop so that I could take a rest break......

[Ixion]

I take it you were out for a drive in your shooting brake at the time. At around daybreak.

Yeah he checked it with the engine running. And he was bloody rough on my bike as well. He launched it hard and then decided to lock the back wheel in the workshop, and he 'threw' it onto its stand several times without even checking that the stand was put down properly, then he and another guy lifted the front wheel off the ground and tipped it almost onto its side. It's like giving the keys to a WRX to a couple of 15 year olds.

Whereabouts did you go? so I can make sure not to go there...

(nervous meltdowns occur when I hand over my bike to anyone)
