Vin can be stamped yourself or by a dealer as you say, and yes if you aint done it before practice on some old scrap!(wished I did I have vin in 5 places now and ones good...) , you need a motorcycle dealer to put his dealer stamp on the form the dvla send you to say that the vin exists and matches the vin the dvla have sent you. I just passed my msva and I got a local dealer to stamp and sign my form. once its signed and stamped you send it off and then wait forever for a vosa test date, then you turn up and they are a bit picky and will fail you for silly things you could have just been told to sort. IE mudguard too wobbly. (I kid you not)
Love this thanks so much for your input and watching. It’s much appreciated 👍
Love the story of how this chap built this.👏👏👏👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for tuning in
Brilliant stuff and very interesting 👌🏍⛽🔧
Cheers buddy thanks for tuning in 👍
I'm another person who has such a engine in a box waiting for a project. This is actually a really useful video for me. I now know more about what type of bike to use if I eventually make it road legal. I have so many projects in the pipeline though.
Glad you liked it, more importantly though that you find it helpful. Thanks for the comment and I hope you get around to building it up. 👍
Get it started pal and enjoy the ride. The ride making it and then riding it. 👍
I'd love to do this but I can't help but feel it's a project that would balloon in cost quickly.
Especially with the requirements like the big disc brakes and proper motorcycle tyres.
It's a total passion project and that's clear. I just wish it wasn't so difficult for people on the lower income scale to have their own legal motorised transportation. It's needed more than ever with multiple bus providers ceasing services in my area it's leaving young adults with very few ways to actually leave the local area.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. I agree it’s a pain with all the regs and expense. However, you can buy parts 2nd hand. The motorcycle tyres were under £100 for the pair. You might be better off looking into electric pedal assist bikes maybe if you are on a budget and look out for cycle to work schemes. Let us know how you get on. Take it easy. Rik
The fork on this bike looks much different than a normal mountain bike fork. It looks a lot more like a motorcycle fork. I wonder if he had to change to something more motorcycle-like for that as well.
Hi, thanks for your comment. It originally passed with a single stem, MTB fork, with no suspension. I changed it to a double crown MTB fork as it has a bit of suspension and it was a lot easier to fit the motorcycle headlight onto it. It’s a better ride without picking up all the potholes with your poor elbow joints 😅
Thanks for watching and your comment it’s appreciated
Blasphemy :-D !
interpretation can be so different. Thanks for watching! Peugeot 753 up next 👍
@@BikeItUK It can - definitely put me in the camp of 'Bicycles are bicycles, motorcycles are motorcycles and never should the twain meet', though ;-)
Looking forward to the Peugeot 753!
