MOT Location ?
« on: 20 December 2012, 05:29:48 am »
Hi Guys,   
 
Long Shot ..
 
Anybody know of a Bike MOT Station near Portsmouth (ideally a place that deals in Honda's)   
 
I need to get a test done as I get off the ferry mid afternoon on a Tuesday .. before heading North on the A34. 
 
I did the Google thing but without much luck.
 
Cheers in advance  ;)   Polar Bear Spain

there are a couple in Waterlooville, but thats heading up A3 rather than towards A34, I can message you the number of the bloke that did mine, he is more race bikes specialist. When you coming over?

Hey Trev, Vernon mc's. Blast from the past for you. Maybe the owner is an old diver?

 :)   Muncho Grassy guys .. some good possibilities to check out there .. I'm sure to get a slot at one of them.
 
Vernon's sounds like the first port of call .. it's quite close to the Ferry Dock.
 
Bit of historical info for those that may not know ...
 
HMS Vernon was for many years the Royal Navy Diver Training School in Portsmouth.  I did my basic stuff there back in 1957 .. before moving on to Special Services courses.  Some of those were done at Stokes Bay over on the Gosport side .. that's the place Buster Crabb went missing from.  Oh bugga .. I feel really bloody old now  :\   Gasp, Grunt, Splutter.
 
Cheers again guys .. have a good-un.
 
Stay Safe  ;)    Trev

And now it's the Gunwharf Shopping Centre!
