Maybe it's better to crack my skull in bits when I fall than drive around like an idiot... Think you are right there. I see you are from up north, do you have dates for Waggel yet?

Re: Solexes Tom Duckpower wrote: grifftravel wrote: In France you can ride these in your own commune without a crash hat [though you must carry a crash hat in case you venture outside the boundary] Here we can ride without a helmet too. Here we have 2 different licence plates: a yellow with black numbers, these are for mopeds with a max speed of 45 km/h (speedlimiter). On this one you must wear a helmet. For mopeds with a max speed of 25km/h (also speedlimiter) you will get a blue plate with white numbers. A Solex, even with it's topspeed of 30-35 km/h, gets a blue plate, so no helmet needed. You can wear one. In the UK, a Slowlex is legally exactly the same as any other <50cc/<30mph "moped". There's only a couple of small details (mainly minimum age of 16yo instead of 17yo, and no need for people with older car licences to take a separate test) between that and a "normal motorbike"... MOT is exactly the same, registration is normal, you need a "proper" helmet, insurance, licence, etc etc.

Re: Solexes I think we should hold an I2F solex race at waggel.

Re: Solexes It depends on the weather if I'm going to take the Solex to Waggel.. First I have to rebuild the back end of my car so the Solex fits upright in it... Otherwise I can't take is anywhere by car. But first it needs to run properly
