Carter Racing Developments has always complied with the points mentioned, and will also be supplying a Certificate of Compliance with all Bikes sold effective 24.5.05

I don't have a bike yet, but for those that already have one. How could they check their bike and make it safe. Thus matching the laws.

They can take it into a mechanic and have it checked!

There's no basic home saftey steps?

yer can some 1 tell us how do we check theses things our selfs

have to be a qualified mechanic by my knowledge, other wise any back yard dealer could 'say' he checked every bike he sells, but if you fall off the bike and break ur leg and sue him, the lawyers are gonna pwn him coz he has not given u the document saying they are at AUS standards.
Other in put accepted

No-Fear's 99% correct, a Qualified Mechanic or Engineer can give you a basic written report checking the items specified, we are qualified to give these reports under the legislation so if your in the area pop in it's a free service!
