Good for another year.

SOCB250RS passed its MOT yet again today with no hassles, in fact the
examiner said that despite its appearance it is a well maintained bike.
WTF is he trying to kid?

I've learnt that the best thing to do with my particular MOT tester is
to take the bike in as filthy as possible. He hates touching anything
except clean and polished shiny bikes, so spends as little time touching
them as possible. It worked last year, and the same shite was still on
it this year

 

The MOT tester said something similar about MZ Wreck, "it may look like a
pile of shit but there's nothing wrong with it"

 

"except that it's an MZ and looks like a pile of shite"

There really ought to be a "Not Offensive" tick box on the MOT sheet,
IMHO.

A greasy thumb print should see that obliterated

 

Does that apply to the rider, tester or bike?

Well, I haven't met Lozzo's tester (although I may have patted his guide
dog), so I can't comment on that. But the other two are definite fails.

I fail on both counts

The same thing happened to me when I expected my bike to fail for at
least having a bald tyre.

I was fucking amazed when I asked if it passed and he said yes.
