Depends if my bike passes MOT tommorow (sat),not too keen on sun runs....thought of work on the monday spoils it a bit

..if i do a sun run,i like to be back home no later than 4pm ish to relax ie...hav a shandy or 3

First time takin a bike without a centrestand for an MOT,,aparently they balance weight of bike on the sidestand to do checks......not too keen on that idea much

If it's that lad in Newmilnes, dont panic. He's gentle with them. You even get to sit on the bike and help with the brake testing. Watch out for the slippy floor though, makes keeping the bike straight interesting.

Hi Rich,
As u know i usually take my bikes to Stewarton for mot,never had any problems,but decided this time on mot station in Newmilns.....Your's passed....my mates sv passed...fingers crossed mines will pass

Was bit worried bout aw that weight on centre stand/bracket,must be difficult to balance bike as nowt to hold on to,ie no grabrail.
