Sorted it, didn't notice the duplicates as I'm on my iPhone.

There's a place in Northampton on Andrews road that I use Ralph, I'll pm you his mobile number if you like.
Richard also does home visits for tyre fitting etc too.

Can you give me hi number/details too please mate? Bringing back my mate's 125 today and that's going to need an MOT too.

I left him a voicemail and he didn't reply, so I got mine done last week at R.A.D Motorcycles. The guy was really good. Had an advisory for play on brake disc rivets, he came out and showed me exactly what he meant and said all Triumphs do it, as do lot of other bikes, not to worry about it, and it'll probably be an advisory on the MOT for another few years yet, until they get so bad that I have to replace the disks, then he turned round and showed me another bike that was exactly the same. I think it's just the kind of thing most MOT centres don't even bother noting until it becomes an MOT failure, which shows that the guy is being thorough (though that could be a bad thing depending on how you look at it).

When I searched google for 'RAD Motorcycles Northampton Forum', to try and find forum posts, I could only find posts praising them, including one from Plowsie on the old archived SV650 forum.

That's cool I know where he is, just behind Avenue Campus. How much was the MOT mate? And I'll text you as we are leaving here.

Oh, yeah s**t. I forgot you were coming today. That's fine.

MOT Cost? No idea, about £30. He told me, I thought 'fine', swiped the card, then forgot. I'll look out the receipt for the MOT and let you know when you get here.
