Just collected the X9 from getting it's 17th MoT passed. Never a single advisory on any of them...bloody car has had them ever since 3 years old, sometimes the same ones for years!
It does pass though at least since I got it.
Do bikes ever become MoT excempt like old cars?
Must use it more this year, due to that backfire and stalling issue last year I didn't use it and by the time it was sorted it was winter.

My Renault Clio often gets "rear indicator bulbs incorrect colour" (going yellow) Think it's had 3 new pairs so far.  Thing is, blessed if I can see the difference!  PS: congrats BTW. |

My faithful X9 at 22 and a half years old has just sailed through again. Starting next week she'll be doing a lot more miles again as I m changing jobs and have a 28 mile commute each day.

Congrats. Is that 28 miles both ways, or each way? |
