Obviously they must have been good enough to get through mate

Must say that on the ride to the garage , they felt better than they've ever felt , positive and strong , I'll have to watch out I don't start doing 'stoppies'

Woo Hoo! She passed
Good deal, steve!
We couldn't have a ROTM 'Cane running around like an outlaw with an expired MOT! Just not good for the organization....


Stoppies on a 1000F ..... now there is a horribly dangerous thought!!
I wonder if the ground shakes when the rear-end comes back down? LOL..

I know for sure, I'd have "rear flutter" - bugger the bike !

Oh you can get the rear to lift up alright Steve if you shift your weight onto the
pegs and move your body far enough forward ........but then I am a former rugger
man and am no light weight either......you can in fact use it to your advantage
when surprises like these happen depending on how dry and 'grippy' the road is

Wet weather ........different story ........lay her down ........bail out
