MOTs

Slippery swines aren't they? I just noticed mine ran out in May. Oh
poo.

 

As long as you don't need tax it's fine.

 

Yeah, not worried about that, more bothered that now I know I'm going
to have to go out and get rained on to get one.

 

*ding*

I really ought to get the KTM MOTed - it's about 3 weeks overdue.

But it's taxed and insured, which IMO is the main thing.

 

Will the insurance cover the bike if all the docs aren't in order?
(will not having an MOT invalidate the insurance?)

Not of itself, no.

 

no.

 

It's all sorted now. I took it to the local place a bit before lunch,
got soaked through to the skin but now have an MOT pass in advance of
Chimay.

 

IIRC, the insurance would only be invalid in the case of an accident
where it could be demonstrated that the vehicle was not roadworthy,
and IIRC, even if you have an MOT, if the loss adjuster could prove
that the vehicle was not roadworthy at the time of an accident, the
insurance wouldn't pay up. I don't know of any instances of either
case, mind.

 

That's roughly what I was hinting at, but couldn't be bothered typing.

 

I'm glad my local outfit sent me a reminder as I thought they had ceased
trading. Turns out they have only leased the roadside part of the premises,
a former petrol station, to a caravan sales outfit. The workshops at the
rear are still in use and they have moved the MotoX shop into a shed.

 

I just wheel my bike in whenever I feel like it and do my own MOT while
the tester gets on with other better paying work.
