very true, nothing stops a 17 year old jumping in a STI with over 350 BHP!!!
Similiar thing with an MOT, we have to put original cans back on, and a car and can turn up with the biggest drain pipe for an exhaust!!!
Is it the goverments way of cutting down on bikers on the road???? So much for Mr B Liar, and his back to two wheels idea a few years ago!!!
