Used to have a bike MoT testing station local to us that didn't really do the job properly. I used to take the wifes bike to him, he'd just kick the tyres, pull the front brake lever, say that it'd not done that many miles since the last MoT & make out the paperwork. He came unstuck when an undercover VOSA bloke was admiring the bikes & watched a couple of tests going through 'on the nod'.

I prefer to have a right bastard do my MOT. Then I know the bike's OK for whatever I throw at it.
Keep on keepin' on.

I agree but if he puts them down as advises then i can get round to them in my own time.

I'm with JB on this one. It's a right pain having to do the work within a week and get it retested or forfeit another test fee. Plus now as advisories are logged, you've got to do them really otherwuise I would imagine that there could be a problem with the insurnace in case of a claim.

I just make sure my bike is ready to pass its mot before taking it, I've never had a bike fail its mot. :p

My old Triumph passed on Thursday, not been on the road for 15 years, taxed it today, just need some nice weather now so I can go for a spin. :nod:
If I have to understand, don't bother to explain.

OK, you're all officially a pack of b*****ds :D

and if you think you're so smart get this one, not sure about the IQ level tho coz i got it straight away.


Please look at the math below (Only people with an IQ of 130 and over are able to figure this out):
If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = ????

Thread officially hi-jacked!
