Hi guys I?m sitting at home bored, sick feeling sorry for myself and started thinking about a old sticker I found on the tail plastic on the 350LC I?m restoring, had little laugh when I read it but the ?produces less pollution? part made me think compared to modern vehicles that?s no where near correct anymore and to add to that I took my 87 RZ for WOF at local testing station a few months ago and everything checked out fine till I started it up to ride down to where they issue the wof and the tester noticed the smoke and said oh dear it smokes a bit that may be a fail, he revved it a couple of times which made it smoke more ,bike was still cold from the short ride to testing station which didn?t help. I explained it?s a 2 stroke and smokes a bit more when cold and if it didn?t smoke at all I would be very worried which didn?t seem to impress the guy, luckily another tester came over and said to the other guy it?s fine that?s the way they are told me to go to exit and wait while he issued the wof.
So all ended up ok but made me wonder when the greenies will jump on the emissions thing and call for emission testing to be part of wof testing? So what then for our precious 2 smokes will they be outlawed?
Sorry for rambling on boredom will do that I guess.
