....my bike passing its MoT this morning, that is. Took it to the same guy I took the Triumph to last time with /its/ loud can and little(ish) 'plate. This time I fully expected it to fail; the 'plate is considerably smaller and the can several orders of magnitude louder than that of the Speed Triple. But no, it passed. He's a top bloke and no mistake; both times now he's issued a ticket with an "advisory" attached, but both times has proclaimed that "That sounds /lovely/! It wouldn't have failed anyway 'cause it's not a safety issue, neither's the 'plate." :-D So, we're all taxed, tested, insured and back on the road. Huzzah!
