MOT time for the mighty thou , phones my usual tester this morning and hes had a cancellation , bring it down now and ill get it done for you he says , no problem I say , see you in 30 mins , now , I dont tax my thou in the winter months but I do start it every now and then and do all the little jobs that have been annoying over the past year my garage is a bit busy with various projects and hobbies and with the thou not being used for a while its at the back
finially get to the thou , key in iginition on , choke on annnnnnnnnnnd.............FOC broke the choke cable
....thats alright i thinks , bikes a good starter and rarely needs choke i'll just give it a bit more throttle and hold it at 2000 rpm for a minute or two...........no
......dosnt want to start and now the batterys low , drag the 600 back in the garage and sort out the jump leads......brum brum it starts , hold the throttle open for a while and it settles down nicely , everything back in the garage and down to the testing station, appolgise for being late and tell them why they all have a good laugh at my expense
.......test done , more piss take , and out to the bike......FOC IT.....batterys flat . Walk back in to the teasting station and ask for a push.....more piss taking , we get the bike going and I tell the piss taking so called bikers to foc off and ride home ........wasn't this much hassle last yesr
