THE MACHINE AND THE LAW

Every motorcycle used on the public roads must be registered and carry the registration

numbers and licence disc allotted to it. The dealer, from whom the machine is bought,

will, generally, attend to all matters legally essential before it is used on the public roads.

To register a new machine

Send to the Local Registration Authority the following :

(a) Form " RF1/2," duly completed.

(b) The certificate of insurance,

(d) The appropriate registration fee.

In due course you will receive :

(1) A Registration Book. (Commonly called the " log " book.)

(2) A Licence Disc.

(3) Your Insurance Certificate.

(4) Your Invoke.

The Registration Book and the Licence Disc will bear the registration numbers that have

been allotted to your machine and will also show the date the Road Licence expires.

Your number plates must then be painted, in white upon a black background, with the

registration numbers in characters of even thickness as follows :

The numbers on the front plate must be 1¾" high, 1¼" wide and c" thick with spaces of

½" between each two characters.

The numbers on the rear plate must be 2½" high, 1¾" wide and a" thick with spaces

½" between each two characters.

The Licence Disc must be enclosed in a water-tight container, having a transparent front.

and this must be fixed to the machine in a conspicuous position, near the front and on

the left-hand side.

It is not legally necessary to carry your Driving Licence, Insurance Certificate and

Registration Book white driving your machine.

Speedometer

A speedometer MUST be fitted and it MUST BE so ILLUMINATED that it is possible

to read the dial after lighting up time.

Lamps

During the official " LIGHTING UP " hours the machine must exhibit a white light

facing forwards and a red light facing rearwards. The rear number plate must be

adequately illuminated by a white light-

Each front electric light bulb MUST be marked with its "Wattage." (Beware of cheap,

imported, bulbs that do not have this marking.)

All motor cycles made by us have electric equipment that complies with the law regarding

position, site of bulbs, marking on bulbs and the correct illumination of the rear number

plate.
