Motorcycle Festival: Numerous violations identified by tuning specialists – Mainhausen
Mainhausen: As part of a motorcycle festival that took place in Mainhausen at the weekend, police tuning specialists carried out targeted checks on motorcycles on Saturday with the aim of traffic safety and discovered a number of violations.
After several of the participants' bikes had already had significant technical changes in the past, the officials again took a closer look at many of the elegant vehicles in a parking lot on State Road 2310 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. As part of the inspections While 46 motorcycles (mostly Harley-Davidson ), two cars and a quad were inspected, law enforcement officers had to seize 12 motorcycles and one of the cars, a Dodge Charger, because their operating license had expired due to unauthorized manipulation and they will now be presented to an expert .
However, another five vehicles whose operating license had also expired were allowed to continue driving. According to the police, the most common reason for the expiry of the operating license was apparently unauthorized modifications to the exhaust systems. The loudest vehicle was a Harley , whose machine showed 110 dBA on the meter instead of the permitted 95 dBA.
A total of ten defect cards were issued, which means that the defects identified must be remedied within a certain period of time and the proper condition must then be proven. Even if the owners' joy was visibly limited during the checks of their vehicles, the checks showed that these are necessary and that the officials will therefore continue to pay attention to them in the future.
