Last year was the first time I've ever had to take a bike for MOT - so when I got the test certificate, I read it from top to bottom (sad, I know) anyway, this years test certificate got stuffed into my jacket pocket and forgotten about .. till about 10 min ago, I found it and was interested to see the Odometer Reading and History (last years only showed the current reading)
I was initially intrigued by the fact that I've done less than 1500 miles since the last MOT, but then read a bit further... between 31/10/2009 and 29/10/2010 the previous owner had done 19,193 miles.... that's a heck of a lot of mileage in year, surely?? ![]() 31/10/2009 - 22681 29/10/2010 - 41874 23/03/2012 - 50708 28/03/2013 - 52147 (not sure why the 2011 MOT history mileage not shown, but it was +-48k IIRC) so, can anyone beat that for most mileage in a year?? lol ![]() Ness |

Ness is this the SV1000 you bought off MisterC?
If it is I'm sure it was a hack that saw less water that Yorkie_Chris's SV

Once MOT'd one; had done something like 21500 one year (he brought outdated test ticket along to get VIN off etc.) and 2 years after it was 21499... what you push it here backwards? Nope 99,999 miles over 2 years
![]() I was impressed with that, think most I ever covered was about 20k/year. Doing 10-15 at moment but it's split between van and bike.
