Like it says, MOT tomorrow. Getting the brake lines done as well.
If it passes, a run at night up by Tain/ Ardgay/ Bonar/ Lairg/ Rogart/ The Mound/ Clashmore/ Spinningdale/ Bonar/ Ardgay/ The Struy/ Alness and home.
Look it up on the map excellent roads.

Looking at the last mot, only managed 670 miles since last year

Mind you it has not turned a wheel since last October/ sorned since May.
Fingers and everything else crossed.
Cheers

Had my 'storm a month and ive clock up just over 1,000

Have had a new set of tyres on aswell recently so i had to take it steady for a bit. Run out to devil's bridge and the sunn inn sorted that!

just a bit worried about my wear line

its down to about half a cm.

is that a bad thing??

That's disgusting Tattie you must be right under the thumb
Ive done 2000miles since purchase,not two month's yet.
Aussie's will be on saying that's just a morning's ride to fetch a bottle of milk.

Didnt know chickens had lips?!!

OH chicken STRIPS!!

yeah also known as sissy lines apparently! its only on the right hand side of the tyre, probably from when i got a bit giddy trying to get my knee down round a roundabout, legal limit for going round is 3 times so i had to keep moving to different ones. Just need to find some nice left handers or get out at in the early hours and go the wrong way round!
