+1 Yellow Rules

Someone earlier said about the modifying thing kicking in...

...does a set of Pilot Road 3s and Hyperpro front springs count? I've only had the mile trip home along 20mph roads but cripes, what a difference...

...bad news is the MOT fail (Microns). Ahem. "Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar motor bicycle fitted with a standard silencer in average condition" (and the headlamp is too high. Wonder if the new springs affected that?)

Taking it back in a couple of days for them to fit baffles and retest. They've already told me how to take them out after...

I just researched your forum name. Yuk, dirty boy!!

It's a word nobody has heard of... which I like.

Nice fresh MOT and the baffles are on the shelf ready to go in next year. Bizarrely at idle it sounded louder with the baffles in than out - but that changed once the revs were up.

They fitted them in such a way that no holes were drilled so it looks ok with them out.

Gotta say the new tyres and springs are a revelation. Transformed it

I do like hyperpro. Real good value for money. You can spend an awful lot more and not get a hole lot more for it

surely you all know about the £10 poked in the exhaust for MOT,s thats works down here, just get an advisory ( providing they don't say "Not for road use")

Four years on and with great regret the bike will be up for sale once it's got a new MOT and I've found the time to wash it. It's only got 16,500-odd miles so as you can tell it just sits in the garage mostly. I think the last time it was out was August or so, or maybe longer than that. I need the garage space and a second car...

I'll do a proper advert once that's done and my post count is up to 50, but in the meantime treat this as a preview and look back in this thread for details... I see the pictures have disappeared from this thread as they were with my old ISP, but it's yellow with a belly pan. More to follow...

Try posting in for sale, I can't remember exactly when the 50 post rule came in but if you joined before you have granddad rights and can still post so it's worth a try as you joined in 2013.

Or just make 4 more posts ?

That's a good idea.

So I tried one of those webuyanybike places. They offered me £300-500. Er, that's ok thanks but I'll pass.

Wow that is an insult. These kind of buisnesses I think mostly take advantage of those that are truly desperate a bit like cash converters. Very sad and morally wrong IMO. Not a company I would wish to support.

Even if Tenesmus gets the 50 posts was there not a new limit of 3000 posts imposed on yellow bike owners before they can try to sell the yellow thing on here
