Is it me????

The final step in getting my '73 H1D registered involved taking it to VOSA at Darlington this afternoon to have it 'inspected'. A task that took the lady less than 2 minutes to check the frame number, engine number and ask me the mileage.

She then said " The colour is black", to which I replied, no it's green, pointing to the tank. No she said, it's black pointing to the frame. "You can change the petrol tank to any colour you want" so it's black. "I've been told to put down the colour of the frames".

It was pouring down with rain and I just couldn't be bothered to argue.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? or is it just a North-East thing? Have to wait for the V5 then send it back to have the colour changed.

The V5 arrived and there has been a compromise - its down as green / black. At least it's registered and legal. Roll on spring.
