So I'm hoping that if I get it done and write a nice letter explaining my lack of intelligence the powers that be will let me off.

Yeah hopefully you'll get off that part of your loss of rent money, but I presume you will have a wee chat to Haldanes about it too because that sounds a bit rough on their part - not really customer focussed.

I Thought you had too sell a motor vehical with something like 3-6 mnths reg on it?

I did have a chat with Richard at Haldanes and he said that the only "legal" requirement is WOF for six months....

Oh well - In the end I'm responsible for my ride so all blame rests squarely on my shoulders. I look at it like this ... The number of times I've broken the law and got away with it, out weighs the times I've been caught.

Yeah, just found this on the LTSA site.

If you’re selling a vehicle...
Ensure the vehicle has (a) a Warrant of Fitness that is not more than one month old when the buyer takes possession, (b) a current motor vehicle licence, and (c) a current RUC licence if the vehicle is subject to Road User Charges

know how you feel, Man it sucks getting tickets.

Sorry buddy, it's not the dead ones we pay for. It's the mutilated ones that cost the most money

I'm still positive that more of those are caused by cagers than by the bikers themselves. But the bikers end up worse so have to pay more. Isn't that adding insult to injury.... literally.

Yes it is. Don't like it? Change the law... not so easy - but not impossible.
