    Failed MOT :(

    Ok,

    So my Tigger failed the MOT. Not because of the dual headlights, but because the front brake pads were worn to under 1mm!

    DOH!

    I feel like an idiot!

    I've ordered new pads from Triumph-online.co.uk, here's hoping they arrive in time for the weekend.

    '93 DR800 BIG (Fully farkled!)

    Gone but not forgotten:
    '04 Tiger (MRA-Vario screen, Crash bars, K&N Airfilter, dual headlamp upgrade. Colour: orange, 'cause I'm Dutch, innit!)
    '93 ZZR600

    I'm on the Safe House List! Garage and minor toolkit available...

    The one thing you should have been aware of.


    Idiot.
    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

    I won't argue...

    Not used to MOT's for bikes (not custom in Netherlands)...

    Wished I did some more research before going to the dealer...

    Parts have been ordered, now to get them fitted asap!
