Chatting to some old boys at a bike shop dealing with old/oily/rusty British bikes the other day, one of the ‘greys’ started a conversation (rumour mill?) relating to the banning of tyres over 10 years of age for motorcycles.
A little bit of interweb research gave a bit of clarity as to what’s
actually going on (at least for the time being!!)
There’s been a consultation (now closed) to consider banning the use of tyres over 10 years old on large goods vehicles, buses, coaches and minibuses.
