To MOT or not to MOT - SV650.org

Hey guys,

I am off on a europe trip (as you have heard by now!) which is the 9th to the 24th. Trouble is, my MOT runs out on the 24th! I don't want to MOT my bike on the 9th as then if it fails I will have no time to put it right. So do I sneakily book an MOT for the 25th? or do I book an MOT for a month before the 24th, giving me two weeks to rectify and retest if needed??

Ta.

Book it upto 28 days before it expires and they will issue a cert effective of the expiry of the old cert, so mine are usually for 13 months.

Personally if there was anything wrong, I would want to know before I rode it any distance
