ZX10 MOT
« on: 12 August 2011, 17:52:06 »
Seeing tunnies I-want-a-poofters-badge-rather-than-a-proper-bike, reminded me the ZX10 MOT runs out tomorrow.

So a quick phone call to tunnie's favourite bike shop, and they squeeze in this afternoon. All passed, one adviso, although speaking to the guy, he says it'll be fine for a year or 2, it's more arse covering.

Mind you, they had to give me a bump start afterwards ::)

I did more than that yesterday!  ;D ;D ;D

It may have a " I-want-a-poofters-badge" - But at least mine uses more than a tank of fuel in a year  :P

I've clocked up about 1,500 miles so far this year  :)

Aye, but it's day was long ago. Most 600cc sports bikes would probably give it a run for it's money in straight line, and murder it in the bends.

But it's cheap to run - 40-50mpg, £74 tax, £78 insurance fully comp including riding other bikes. Thus no desire to change it. It's still quick enough, and unpredictable enough to scare the living daylights out of me...

+ £30 MOT. 160 miles that works out at £1.13 a mile  :o  ;D

Words Poofter and gay spring to mind!  ;D ;D

Law of sod this year is every day that was good enough to use it for work, I've had to go to meetings, lug servers about, or go to other sites.

LPGing the cars has reduced the usefulness of the bike, that is true...
