Finally passed my MOT and back on the road after 3 hours of swearing at my front brake caliper (Sickpup as a witness)!

Ron Hill in Speke, Liverpool are a great place to get your MOT done, costs £20 and they have a high pass rate >:]

I'm too fucking hot on the bike now though! Sad

Heh, bit nervous about the front brake caliper... The retains pins 'wibble' and I'm not sure if they did before! :>

Just need to get the fucking thing returning to idle and starting from cold and then I'm sorted!

Broken down on the way to the MOT centre, had the seat off and the toolkit out and it just suddenly started running again, I did tell it I was going ot push it into the road.

I just need to get it running right now before I put it up for sale... I'm not going to flog a shitter to someone... I'll spend some time getting it spot on before getting shut.

Jsut go for trade in value... Chances are you'll spend more than you'll gain from doing all the repairs.

Trade in value is about £200 because it was CAT C in 2000 Sad

I did lob a 22mm spanner full pelt from the kitchen at it when I couldn't get the front brake pads in!

It was boss, I fucking raged!

The bike broke down on the way to the MOT centre as well... phoned up the GF and said I'm going to boot it in front of a bus next one that comes along... Got the seat off, just about to take the tank off and I thought what the hell and started it and it worked...

Haha
