no - went online to tax it last night only to discover its MOT has expired and the guy who MOT's my bikes has just flown to Mallorca for a weeks holiday............... bugger !
looks like a last-minute MOT, also still awaiting delivery of new rear sprocket (due Weds). _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Hey Gk, don't let them rush you, plenty of time yet !!!!
My ride is still poorly, as soon as I cured the fueling issues - weak pump, degrading lines, sticky float valves, blocked idle yets, you name it I had them all and the fuel stopped pissing out all over the floor from the float vents , the coils and HT leads have started playing up.

Its on order from B&C in Lincoln - promised for Wednesday delivery.
And 2 rivets have come loose in the end cans, so they need replacing too.
Otherwise - all is well. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.
