To be fair to the MOT station.

When Tony dropped the bike off for it's test, there was not a lot for them to check in the 1st place! :lol:

Unfortunately, Tony left his other bike outside and was a bit slow in getting it ready for the MOT.

Best to keep an eye on the tyres also (may let you down at high speed)

That central rubber strip around the circumference appears to be nailed on!!! :lol:
Now what idiot tested that on the river and I assume the propulsion was via the low slung 'jet' exhaust (or was it for just crossing boggy ground)? 8O

Mind you.........

With this cold weather snap at the moment, it's probably a good idea to get a nice warm cover for the whole bike!
