Roadworthy test - do the HAVE to ride your boney?

[Jacko]

Last time I had a bike roadworthied (and the time before, if I remember correctly) the guy at the testing station insisted on taking the bike for a spin around the block.

Is it a legal requirement? Last time it was drizzling... the GS had knobblies on... but Mohammed was adamant that he needed to ride it.

He casually told me not to worry, because "we have insurance for this type of thing." Just like people casually drive over red robots in CT. 

Now with the HP2 I'm really worried that Mohammed is going to be out of his depth... if he fucks it up, I'm screwed. Insurance won't be able to replace the bike. No way. Maybe something similar - if I'm lucky and after 6 months (if the AA hasn't been 'transformed' yet like the Road Accident Fund or Land Bank...).

Wot sez you leagle eagles?  ???
