MOT number two today followed by a wee run out (I’ve picked the right week to take off work). One advisory for a shoogly hugger - I’ll sort that at some point.

Worked out from the MOT history it’s not been on the road since the end of 2015.

I’ve lost a bit of weight since then so the suspension settings are a bit out. Still handles well though. I prefer the bars to clip-ons.

Still looking decent enough I forgot the tank was damaged. Is it running ok now?

Was running great today. Lots of popping and farting on the overrun mind.

MOT guy thought he could hear a leak on the front exhaust header. That could cause the popping I would have though but I’m not hearing it.

Tempted to file that under M for “Meh”

I like a bit of popping. My Dorso can be ridiculously loud though! Sometimes if I'm going downhill with the throttle shut it's like a machine gun. Kinda embarrassing in town

I might sell it. Not sure.

I put new tyres on it 3 years ago and they still had the chalk lines on them this morning. That’s them just run in today.

Somebody else could be getting some use out of it.
