    The position of the "LAW" is that if no noise restrictions were in place when the vehicle was manufactured, then the vehicle does not have to apply to any subsequent restrictions. In the same way as it doesn't need tax or MOT!

      I had a similar situation with my old BSA Gold Star and a couple of others that people in the village used to moan at me about. I had the Police turn up wanting me to take the bikes to be tested at the Ministry establishment in Suffolk. I pointed out to them that my bikes were classic with no need for any tests or tax and showed him the relevant law and case law on the subject. He tried to insist and wanted to see and hear the bikes, to which I told him no. I later reported the situation to Deputy Cheif Constable, who was himself a classic bike owner who said he would be speaking to the officer concerned in no uncertain terms to put him straight. I saw the officer again when I was on one of my bikes and gave it a good rev as I went past.

    I forever love vintage bikes. This is such a masterpiece of a bike and man I hope the new owner will really do it justice. I myself own a 1967 Jawa and an 1980s Yezdi. Would love to see one of those on this channel. You guys are absolutely great people with a lot of passion for bikes from the past!

    I had one on the road in the 60s had a piece of straight pipe for an exhaust with a hollowed out silencer over it LOL. used to have to try and run it on tickover past any old bill. Going round Oxford I stalled it behind a car doing about 30 and the primary chain broke and chain flew of into a field. This was the end of it took the lump out, went to Vale Onslow in Birmingham and swapped it for a Triumph engine and plates. When your 17 its just an old bike not a classic. Plus it had no way of charging, you had to keep charging a battery to use it at night. It had in International gearbox on so you could kick it over to start it (if you were lucky) mostly I used to try and park it at the top of a hill.
