Hi David,
My girl is awesome, with the new Motobatt installed, new boots on and the suspension all sorted it was like riding a different bike.
Took her down to get booked in for her MOT on Friday, wanted it today but they were booked up but they did it there and then and she walked it. Now she's as legal as can be so I'm hoping to knock some miles up this year.
I'm sure your baby will walk the MOT, I know how good she is.

That makes 3 of us
Mine (1990 FL) passed her MOT last weekend too! Tester (Walton Road Garage, Molesey) said he had another red CBR1K in for MOT the week before. Someone on this forum?
Put a Pilot Power on the front (Pilot Road 2 on the back but my fave mechanic/tyre man didn't have one and it was the day before the MOT!). Now feels like a new bike. New clutch a few weeks ago too, now finding her really easy to wheelie in first and no slippage at high throttle is sooooooooo nice.
Not had the valves adjusted in years and I'm sure I have a petrol leak somewhere as she smells bad after a ride - and even days later - but she's quick enough for me.
Work colleague was behind me the other day, said I left a cloud of dark smoke as I roared away from the lights. My car mechanic (keen biker who rides a Fireblade) said Wynn's Stop Smoke is pretty good and won't make the clutch slip. Anyone tried it?
Have a good Easter everyone!
