You can remove the indicators easy enough. And you wont get a daytime mot. As no such thing exists. All that will happen is you get an advisory stating that the indicators were not present at time of test.

rattlyolddt · Senior Member

Hertsrider, have I seen you lurking on the Green Lane Crew forum too?

hertsrider · Senior Member

Hi Ratty, thanks for the advice on the indicators...knew i should have asked here first and not the bloody seller!!!

Yes i'm on the GLC too, I'm based in the GLC heartland! I'm making progress on my bike search...fingers crossed i'll have a bike to come and join you guys on real soon...

Cheers

youve made a good choice with the ttr. I bought mine to give my ancient dt some much needed tlc. Best bike ive had.

Im in hitchin, so give us a shout when youve picked one up.

Indicators on any trailbike are not a MOT requirement as long as the rear footpegs are removed.

Hi Ed, in Hitchin & Neil, in Kimpton. I'm in St Albans. With 2 local riders on at the same time I couldn't not say something too.

Been following the forum for a while but I don't hardly get out. Haven't been out in a year!

However if & when you guys are planning rides I'd love to know, on the slim chance I'd be able to tag along

Cheers

Mark...no worries....I'm hoping to get a bike sorted and in my hands over the next 10days then i'll be gagging to get out...there is a lot of locals to here that are into Laning so i expect we can hook up with quite a few people and learn the ropes.

There seems to be a lot of people posting on this forum http://www.thegreenlanecrew.co.uk/about.html who are from Herts/Beds and Bucks so ride outs are definately happening....

Stay in touch...

What do you ride just out of interest?

rattlyolddt · Senior Member

Spit, hertsrider is right, for local rides get yourself on the green lane crew forum. Theyre a light hearted bunch that have regular rides out posted.

Feel free to ring me on; zero seven eight nine 401868 two

Thanks gents

Got your number, thanks, rattyolddt

Trying hard to get my bike running well...the venhill throttle/hand grip assembly won't return snappily. It just moves back slowly also the speedo doesn't work

Anyways, it's not a TTR it's an AJP PR4. I started with a Serow then fancied a change so looked for something smaller i.e an Alp 200 but the PR4 came up. It's great off road if you like slow but on road it's not even 55mph

Frankly I'd like to sell it and move to a TTR

I'm selling my white open enduro with loads of spares and Supermoto wheels too. I'm near Stanstead if your interested.

spit · Veteran Member

Thanks for the pointer to the OE on Ebay and yours at Stansted (couldn't be closer!) but I'm not in a position to buy until I sell so the hunt is off until someone is nice enough to give me the £.

Turns out I ride so little about £1000+ is all I can spare towards my fun so I'm always ears for an OE or early blue

Weather is going to be lovely. However I'll be in Sweden dog sledding for the week- wife's 40th. Anyways my bike has a broken front disc, the replacement is looking at me but it takes me a while to get anything done. Have a great day. Please keep me posted of any future rides, via PMs. Mark

pedrosan · Senior Member

Don't forget the pics :)

hertsrider · Senior Member

Great ride out yesterday, Hertfordshire really does have some cracking lanes!! Couple of pics of my Raid and rattlyolddt's OE......they looked good flying in formation down the lanes!

Heres to another ride out soon!

Cubber · Super Guru

Congratulations - they make a fine pair. wink

"That's the way to do it!" biggrin

Apparently it needs indicators for an MOT (It also states it's a '97 but i thought the purple wheels were off the earlier models? I may well be wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I bought this one the other week. It didn't need indicators for the mot as it had a single seat and no pillion footrests. The shop put an mot on it free of charge which was good. It is in fact a 1993 bike that was first registered in the UK in 1997.
Will give it its first ride on the lanes over near Braintree this weekend hopefully.

Nice one Lee, looks like a nice bike....it's on Open Enduro model then i assume just minus the paint job/stickers. You'll have a great time on it i'm sure....post some pics up of it in action on your ride out.

Cheers

No pics, but did the lanes out near Braintree / Stisted. Very pleased with the bike. Suspension coped well with the ruts, and engine has plenty of grunt to get through the mud.
