I don't know if this has changed since I last put a bike through the MOT. My exhaust has no bs stamp and states for race use only. Is this a fail?

Yes, that will fail. You can usually get away without having a BS stamp, as long as your exhaust isn't stupidly loud; but the 'race use only' is an immediate fail.

Ah. Rubbish.

You could try a strategically placed sticker on your end can, or possibly polish the lettering out?

See where you're going with that. I thought if buy a cheap shit original exhaust from a breakers and rent it out for the cost of posting for people's mot's

measure the length and height of the "race use only" and ill see about making a bsau label

That's a brilliant idea. Measurements to follow in the next few days

I had a cracker MOT recently,

In northern ireland it is a goverment organisation, run by monkeys.
One monkey said to another, whilst commenting on something about my bike.
I was standing right next to the monkey,
He said to his work colleague, why should you give a f@#k, it wont be you sliding down the road on your arse, ...........
I never said anything, i just looked at him, thought what a twat, and a shit thing to say.
Then he came over later talking bollocks, blah blah, what speed does it do, ffs!
I took my phone out of my pocket, and said can you repeat what you said earlier, this time i will record you!, ........i pay this monkeys wages!
Sometimes i just wish people would think before opening there trap.
Nevertheless, the bike passed.

But the way it is, do you think i would be riding a bike based on these monkeys piece of paper, i make sure my bike is top working order, all the time,

After all a cert only states the vehicle was roadworthy, at the time it was presented.

Its a money racket, rant over! Roll on next year!
