    HIP HIP Horray

    Just got the Transalp through the MOT.
    Advisory on rear pads nearing limit, I know about them and have a set waiting.
    Front Discs on limit and need changing. More Expense.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    You need to adjust your riding if your only getting a year out of them or your using the wrong pads!

    True, but as the VAT rate is down to 15% for this year only I will need to buy them before December to save money.
