    Wish me luck....

    My XR's due in for an MOT tomorrow.
    The exhaust is noisy (IMHO) and the number plate's not legal.
    We'll see what they say. I may need to have a legal number plate made up and velcro'd over the top.
    Forum help and advice needed?

    I'm sure you'll be fine. Mine has got through with a bit of a small number plate before

    Think yourself lucky your not over here, the TÜV are such nitpickers I took my mates GSXR through for him and failed cos it Pirelli tyres fitted and Bridgestone were noted in the log book, I had to have the log book updated at the VLO and wait a couple of weeks for it to come through then try again with the TÜV

    Wow!
    Well it passed but there were two problems.

    Front tyre wasn't seated properly... must have popped out after the session at Ubley Drove as I haven't noticed any problems with it before and the rear wheel bearings were shagged. He showed me the bearings and they were all rusty and full of crap and hardly turned. Didn't notice any play in them but give the place their dues they spotted it and sorted it whilst I waited for little extra dosh.

    Oh and there was no comment on the exhaust and the number plate.
