Exhaust fines at checkpoints

[RC1]

2 wks before i got the TLS with 2 bros it failed a warrant (to loud) because of the new laws so got it repacked and passed fine it reads 110db now not sure what it was before that,and have had no probs from cops at check points,

Its a subjective test,

The subjective test decides whether it needs to go for an objective test or not.The subjective test doesn't need to say if it's too loud or not,just there is some concern and it needs to be verified.The objective test is done in a controlled enviroment,and you should end up with some documentation to prove your noise output.

An HP guy gave me a copy of the case (recent and also in the TEN-ONE mag)which says its not required and that the officers opinion is enough - hence the fact it was challenged but won by the crown. I'll have to dig that case out if I can find it and have a good read through the details.

So how long ago was this? When there was only the subjective test? Or more recently where we have both a subjective and an objective test? The officer's opinion that it needs to have an objective test or not?

My bikes pretty loud but I've never started it up during a WOF. Just to be safe I roll the last 50m into the testing station. When the tester comes out I ask if he want me to operate the lights and indicators etc and he never gets a chance to start it. Once I've actually got the sticker on I fire it up and off I go. I don't really think that they care about the noise but I'm not taking any chances because I've seen them fail cars that arn't all that loud.

...I even had one officer stop me cos his mate told him he said saw me speeding the weekend prior BS. THUS my hate of traffic cops, they all deserve to die of cancer (preferrably testicle cancer). Stereo typing everyone is something best left to the fanatics.

Yeah I fully agree mate, you fanatically hate traffic cops cause of a few wankers?

How do they do the brake test,push you

Place I go to, they just spin the wheel by hand and apply the brake. Dude tried to start the GT500 once. With the clutch pulled in ! (no leccy leg there)

Lol yeah, I went to the testing station and the guy looked for an electric starter, didn't see one, so didn't even attempt it ^_^. He did the same thing with the brakes. Didn't seem to know about centre stands, so asked me to lift up the rear of the bike while he checked the rear wheel. I pushed it onto the stand and he seemed really surprised. Dipshit. Oh well, he passed me, even though I had next to no tread on rear tyre and the thing was leaking oil on the testing station floor. Lol. Won't get my bike done there again (unless I'm desparate for a WOF).

[DUCATI*HARD]

i wouldnt have it any other way.

Believe it or not he put it on the roller that the test the cars on and nearly dropped it when he locked the front wheel up! If he'd dropped it he'd be the one paying for it.

Yeah they used to balance my obese harley on a jack to test the wheel bearings - scary shit, $15000 and 250kg of rusting cast iron balanced on an air jack with a little man spinning the wheels.

Not sure he would have to pay though - sign says testing is at your risk. Bet they would fight if it was an expensive repair bill !
