I see what you're saying but so long as its legal I'd like to. The place I use is a small independent, I've always had good service from them in the past so I'd like to repay the favor.

haha! You have my number! Seriously though, I need to go 30 miles to get to anywhere that does MOT testing for bikes anyway. There isn't an issue providing you go straight there and you have the test booked!

Sorry but I think you will find you are doing the MBK here. It will hardly be an offence to get tax on your way back if you have already passed the test...will it now???

dont know what ever gave you the idea i would not get the bike MOT'd first. or do you think i'm dumb....

Lets face it all coppers are naughty so if they dont get you for the tax they will measure your number plate, check the exhaust, check the tyres, check your visor, call you sonny even tho' they look 5 years old and then phone the station as other coppers are the only ones who give a toss what they spout anyway

home. thought that would be obvious lol

why would i want to go to the post office without an MOT? they would just look at me with that funny look they give stupid people.
