You keep talking about yourself, but i'm talking about a benefit for everyone.
As i said earlier a lot of people on here have a genuine interest and passion about their bike and want to learn to do their own maintenance, i'd imagine primarily for financial reasons because as you well know bike mechanics aren't exactly wallet friendly, but also because it's a learning curve and a good feeling to be hands on and know exactly what's been done to your own machine.
But the majority of owners, especially car owners, haven't got a clue about what's right or wrong with engines or parts and only get the hint when things stop working completely, fail badly or in this case parts drop off (no offence meant Padraig).
So that's where the MOT is a handy tool for the less educated out there, to give them a bit of reassurance that they are riding a half decent, roadworthy bike.

MAYBE they could even use the extra revenue generated from bike users to fill some of those bloody great holes too?
Although i must say that pothole's a tad bigger than the one's around my way, you could take a bus out with that. :eek
