    Hello people i have an aerox 50 57 rossi rep, and i was thinking of getting a 70 kit from the start but my dads being arsy by saying they stop you and check your bike, or take it back to the garage to check it out to check whether its a 50 or what, but everyone on the forum have 70/172/180 kits on there bikes and none of you seem to have hassle or what not, and th eother thing is getting caught or having a crash and the police wanting to take your bike in for testing, is it okay to get a kit or not, and how many people are banned from having a kit onnit or what.

    lol they stop evry ped take them to a garrage and take the engine apart to define how many cc's it is =/ ok lol no they dont but thers difrent circumstances u can have ive seen traffic officer on his bike take 3 70 peds 4 a test ride and they wer impounded 4 being derestricted but they cuda been stock de restricted and wuda been same outcome
    crash wise ur insurance is void the second ur ped becomes derestricted i believe so adding 70 kit etc etc wont make it any more void
    kit it up and just be careful never get cocky wen u get pulled and u shud b fine anything other then traffic are clueless
    and try not 2 crash could turn out costly if its ur fault

    quite simple....if u see a police car in the distance or behind you, just stick to 30mph.

    erm, i cant condone any law breaking... my advice is to leave your bike restricted.. but for information perpous the above is correct.. if you mod your scooter ATALL its just as illegal (so a pipe, a 70 kit, derestriction, an air filter) anything that pushes it past 30mph means its a motorcycle and NOT a moped.. you are not legally allowd to ride a motorcycle at 16. in reality the only way the police are gonna know is if they spot you doing over 30.. christ you need to be pulled to get caught for anything illegal and i havent been pulled in YEARS. if you dont ride like a cunt, keep your distance and generally dont wear inapropriate clothing you wont ever get pulled..

    so to sum up, a 70 kit is just as illegal as derestriction. if your bike is derestricted it is not only illegal due to the fact your 16 but its also illegal as its on the wrong tax bracket and its registerd incorrectly. this means your tax mot AND insurance is void.. also your v5 is fraudulant as iut states moped not motorcycle. the lights wont pass as a motorcycle on most mopeds ether so ye it shouldent be modded.... BUT i dont know anyone WITH a stock 50 tbh

    me and my 2 m8s were riding to colege the other week and a copper come up behind us so we all slowed down to 30 in a 40 zone and had a monster traffic jam behind us any way we come to the light and the 5 0 pulled up next to us and both coppers were laughing then they told us to stick to the speed limit and they new the bikes were de-restricted so stop mugging them of by thinking they wouldnt wouldnt no.

    A few days ago i saw a copper coming up behind me, so i quickly slowed down to 30 and they just followed me right up my arse like any other driver would. But they know that alost every ped on the road is illegal, but its much easier for them to just let them go rather than pulling them over, talking to them for ages and filling in loads of paperwork. As long as your not riding around like a twat, you should be fine. Also, i've heard that they are more likely to stop you if you are riding around in packs of like 5+ bikes.

    the worst thing was a group of kids in a corsa started chasing me and were inches away from my tyre so i was doin 30 and when i was on a straight i opened the throtal and blitzed them got up to about 70 in a 30 and a copper was about to pull out so i wedged my brakes on had the back wheel locked up and still went past at about 40 and i could see the police bloke smiling couldnt beleive it any ways turned out it was some kids dad and he got everything done to his aerox and goes about 80 and his dad fitted everything for him lol
