Place your bets (MOT)

Post by pinkyfloyd »

Yes fellow Storm owners (And Geoheathen :lol: ) Its that time again. Bikes booked in for the MOT on Tuesday 25th of this month. Will she pass or will she fail.

This year the tyres, brake pads, front and rear, and rear disk has been changed, she's still running as sweet as ever but what do we think? Pass or fail?
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

Pass, but your chain is too slack and your indicators are slightly fast :D

Dont be silly. Its black (ish)

The indicators I know are fine. The rest of the electrics might be a bit touch and go though. The horns knackered but the mechanic "fixed" that a while back and it went tits up again so he knows about it and will fix it before MOTing the bike.

Exhaust wont ping me, I'm a standard saddo unfortunatly. Mrs pinkys view on the new exhaust is "Why do you need a new one when you have one that works?"

Good luck mate. :thumbup:

Thats the only work I have done on it this year. But then I only got advisories for the tyres which have been changed, brake pads, again changed, rear disk, again changed. If I get advisories for the front pads I'm going to ride the bike up his backside as they are new pads a few weeks ago. Not my fault Brembo dont give much meat. :lol:

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
