This is getting boring

I'm going to deliberately set a bike up to fail the MOT.

100% record still officially stands.

Heh. Ginger Pixie all sorted then? Good stuff.

 

Now if only you could do the same with women

 

Who says I don't have a 100% record?

You could always take the Wing in. IT's due before the end of the
month.

 

The ST3 was my first failure for several years. The last one before that
was a CG125 that got failed for having an exhaust that was too loud, which
was a fairly remarkable achievement. It was a pattern exhaust from David
Silver too, not something with no baflles at all. Mind you the tester was a
first-grade **** who made it his mission to find ways of failing bikes
(probably to generate repair business). At the time it was the only testing
station in the area so it still got a fair bit of custom for a while.
However, after that experience I decided that in future I would ride the 10
miles to a more customer-friendly dealer for all of my motorcycle needs. Not
surprisingly, after pissing off most of its users the local testing station
closed eventually along with the motorcycle dealer it was attached to.

Oi! TOG! There's a new disciple here. Worthy, or what?

 

Hmmmm... Does he Truly Love the Mighty CG, think you?

Surely, one who can induce the One True Motorcycle to give forth a
sound, a sound that is so mighty that the tester of the MOT quails and
is brought to naught before it is a true believer?

Can we not say that yea, thought he may have strayed in more recent
times, he is, nonetheless, worthy?

I propose him! Who here will second?

 

Never has there been a more appropriately titled thread drift.

Pah! You know *nothing*.

 

Remind me again how many of these gutless shitboxes the pair of you
currently own.

In a spiritual sense? More than can pass through the eye of the
Blackwall Tunnel on a wet Wednesday in November.

Go in peace, my son.

Dat would be an economical matter.

 

I emailed you - do you want to service and MOT the blade?

Think I got the wrong email addy


or not ?

 

I can do

It strikes me Loz, that there's a small business getting started here
for you. You've got the skill and the equipment, all you need is a
small unit, and you're an independent specialist mechanic.

 

There's the rub - you try finding any small business unit that will get
planning permission for motorcycle trade use around here, and
especially in an area where customers will travel to. There are none,
I've already searched and had an estate agent search too. There are a
couple out on farms in the middle of nowhere, places that even I have
trouble finding. No matter how good you are you'll have a problem with
people not bothering because they cba to take a trip that far out to
have minor repairs done.

Looking at it there's no problem doing the work, I'm confident and
experienced enough to take on just about anything, and I have most of
the kit to do it too, but I dunno if there's enough work out there to
support me and the overheads.

Just doing the occasional one or two for friends from home sees me ok
for now, and keeps the wolf from the door.
