well GPS tracking is getting cheaper and cheaper, imagine being one sole company supplying them to MOT stations. I think they would be bought pretty cheap cos they will be in bulk. Probably get added onto the cost of an MOT, dont pay it, dont get MOT. thats what will happen if it happens that way.

you cant send to a satalite without a bordcasting tower straped onto the back of your bike they'll have to set up reciver towers like mobile phones
rember they'll check it at the MOT as well so if you chip it then you'll have to find a way of un chipping it at MOT time
And god help you if you get court riding with it chiped

money dosent mean toad to them. If it cost 5 billion they'll make that money back within a year or 2 anyway
or they'll stick petrol tax up and make it back in a week or two
