Default First MOT...

The beast is going in for it's first MOT today...

Never liked a bike enough to hold onto it until the first MOT before...

Wish us luck, I replaced the numberplate lamp this morning, will see how the tester rates the HID lamp and stone guard

H7 bulb and allen key under the seat in case I need to swiftly remove them...

It the DfTs "opinion" that they are, there's been no test case

Mentioned it to the tester beforehand and he said technically it's a fail but there's no point refitting a filament bulb just for the test

As it happened the spread the HID throws, even with the grille, was more than acceptable, no stray light beams or anything
