the mysterious incident of the rear shock.

[to v or not to v]

so i took my bike out yesterday, for its first proper ride, since its MOT.
the back end felt really harsh over the bumps. tyre pressures were checked prior to ride.
when i got back, i checked the compression settings on my rear shock and found the screw had been wound all the way out.
set it back to recommended position and all was ok.
now the only other people who have had access to my bike, are the dealers i took it to for its MOT. the rest of the time, ive been on it, or its in the garage.
why the fook would an MOT tester do such a thing?

They are not supposed to alter anything on the test. Go and complain.

Did you do something to piss them off? Joking apart, if you're certain no-one else could have messed with it, I would ask then if they 'adjusted' it, and see what explanation you get.

If I was sure an MOT station had fucked with things on my bike they had no business touching then I would

1) never go back there and
2) indulge in a prolonged bout of naming and shaming.

What all do they test on a mot test. Is it just emissions? I’m in the states and only a couple states like California have vehicle test so I was just curious.
