Mot
Well tis the time of year to put the bikes throught the MOT.
I took the storm trooper and all was well until it came to testing the lights. Nothing!!! I had that horrible sinking feeling . All was ok when i checked everything this morning.
Having checked the fuses and they were ok i decided to ring pete which i apreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule to give some advice.
The tester lent me some allen keys so i could remove the screen and dash to check the multi plug. Nope not that
After a bit of poking around i found a broken wire from the switch gear to the multiplug. The tester soldered it back togeather for me and everything worked.
Result.
Seem has i had some time spare this afternoon i decided to take the oasis through but no problems there and no advisorys on either bike so.
The bar is open folks and the drinks are on me

Not only did you get 2 bikes through the MOT but you also fitted the best, cheapest performance aid I've ever had fitted to my bikes! The ride home was awesome and now the RGV corners like its on rails. Many thanks u r a mechanical genius!
I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself.
You hang in there sunshine, you're special!

last car mot last year my rear fog lamp bulb blew, I had a spare but the miserable old goat refused to let me fit new bulb and insisted on re test
pint of gin and tonic please !
Mmm the difference is I will be using this tester again and I will recommend him.
Don't get me wrong I expect a tester to let me know if there is anything wrong with any of my vehicles.
( Firm but fair)
Would you say that about your tester.

That sums up the bloke I use. He's been in the game longer than I've been alive and he's got a very sensible attitude. Last year my headlight aim was off because the suspension had been done. Without any fuss he stuck his hand in the fairing and set it.blinkey501 wrote: Don't get me wrong I expect a tester to let me know if there is anything wrong with any of my vehicles.

I've watched him show a youth on a CG how to set up his drum brake for nowt before putting the bike through.

I tend to find in life john that majority of testers are quite good, has I say if they are keen I don't mind, but I have worked part time in a test bay many moons ago and know when they are keen or being a twat.randomsquid wrote:That sums up the bloke I use.
