Thanks for posting - a worthwhile and interesting read... Yes thanks for posting - hate to be pessimistic but MMC might have problems for ongoing EU 3W'ers

As an optimist I do agree Stewart.Cause for concern.
I did think it was an easy fix until I read the Bennetts article.
Then of course if you add on Euro5 requirements it gets worse.
The USA builds are fine BTW.
We shall see in time what the fix is and importantly what it looks like.

They will probably disconnect the fuel supply and add a chain and some pedals

Based on what is happening to the bike world I suspect some massive catalyst under/behind the engine....
Removal of which will be an MOT fail at 3 years.
Plus a new map to match the needs of the cat.
That they are imposing this nonsense on machines that do such a low milage is simply stupid. But stupid is as stupid does.
On the bright side, existing M3Ws will probably be in greater demand as one will always be able to play with them...!!
The may even appreciate in value!

Agree, complete and utter nonsense when you see the thousands of large diesel lorries and artics covering hundreds of thousands miles a day on the UK's roads alone But that's big business

Hi Shaun
We are in the same situation now. Today is a sad day for me.
My car was scheduled for week 17 (we're now in week 15), I had prepared a nice trip with my wife and the boys to pick up the 3W in june at the factory, everything was just perfect.
Today I received the message from Morgan that my car will be built in september.
I was looking forward to this journey and a nice summer ....
It's a sad, sad day!! I would like to cry!!!!!

Steve you are reminding me of myself last year. My car was supposed to be started in April of 2016, it was delivered in October. You will love it once you have it. But the wait is painful!

In the US, Harley was been getting ready for years with water cooling to meet ever tightening emissions. Now, under Trumplethinskin, you can probably burn coal until impeachment !
