Don't dread the MOT.

I have never had a bike fail. It is an opportunity to get a second opinion that your bike is being correctly maintained and is in a safe condition.

I spend more time gassing with the tester as he waits for the clock to tick down, than he actually takes doing my tests. Then again he knows me and that I have never presented a wrong un in the 30 years I have been using his workshop.

Last time I was there he just failed a bike as the lock stops were non existent. The bars stopped when the reached the tank. Who would have been daft enough to present a bike like that.
