MOT tomorrow

Well she is ready for the MOT. Got it booked in for 5.30.

Back end is getting done again so it has flatlanders spare on it for now.

I am not happy with the tank either so that will be getting done again in the future.

That's far too clean and shiny to let a greasy mechanic loose on ! :smt002

Take a duster and lovingly wipe the bike down while youre waiting for the bloke to start. they'll probably not even notice the zorsts while theyre admiring the paint job. :smt002

Good luck with the MOT

I actually quite like that colour scheme. Good luck for tomorrow if they give you any grief pop over to Dennis at knutsford
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

All done and passed happily. Only issue i had was the battery is fooked so need an new one. My fault really as i did not maintain it as much as i should of over the last 18 months. Time for a new battery and proper charger instead of the car one that probably fooked the battery in the first place.
