Immature and proud of it.
That's right, my lovingly maintained, 1 year old, 10,000km Bandit was failed.
For not having the rubber on one of my pillion footrests.
You see, I remove the rubber when I'm not carrying my wife so that the peg will fold. The Givi frame prevents it doing so when the rubber is fitted.
I did point this out to Mr WOF Inspector person, but to no avail.
BTW. This person and I both work at the same dealership.

So now you will know in future when the WOF is due stick that piece of rubber back on.
Plus at least you know that the person is doing their job correctly..... and not just letting you away with it just cos you work with them.
They are making sure your baby is all legal.
I know its just a bit of rubber but dem the rules.

Bugger. My pillion footpegs don't have any rubber on them!
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Forum whore
so if you had taken the other rubber off the other footrest he would have been none the wiser?
The instructions are simple...
I'd say so. Like in the old days - if you had indicators fitted, they had to work. Not working? Just remove them. Sorted. Tis TOO pathetic these days.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

There is no requirement for a footrest (rider or pillion) to have a rubber fitment. And many bikes do not. Is he claiming that removing the rubber constitutes a "modification", which requires certification? I would complain if refused a WoF on those grounds.
Forum whore
So you've made a modification to your bike and have no LVV cert for it.....it's a wonder he didn't take you into the office out of earshot.Problem with a newer vehicle is it has to stay in certification state.....us poor people who ride older bikes don't have that problem.Mind you the guy who does my WoF's is pretty damn outstanding.

My bike doesn't even have rubber on pillion footpegs. All aluminum. Passed with flying colors.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
