Title: Pulled in by police
Post by: Notty on Tuesday, 20 August 2019, 09:47 PM
A homemade motorcycle stopped on the M25 was described by a traffic officer as the "most unusual vehicle" he had apprehended in 26 years.
It was spotted just before junction 21 for the M1 in Hertfordshire at about 20:30 BST on Sunday.
The officer tweeted that it was "all checked and in order" but he was "not convinced" he knew what it was.
A police spokeswoman said the vehicle was approved and registered by the DVLA.
Another roads policing officer called the vehicle a "homemade electric motorcycle" which was "made from bits of balsa wood and duck tape".

You'd think a bloke with his skills would be able to knock up a pair of shoes. Maybe not good ones, but better than no shoes.

It has a great rating as it will hardly put a dent into your car.

No need to stop after running over it because if they catch you, you can legitimately claim: "Oh, I thought I ran over a pile of crap."
