Oh shite....

I don't think anyone is suggesting that you personal should have to have an MOT, but I can't imagine every single person having the same mindset as yourself to keep the bike in good working order. There has to be just as many people who ride around until their bike quite literally falls apart and this is the justification for having some sort of system to make this illegal and to try and keep these vehicles off the roads. Unfortunately, everyone suffers

Having said that, I don't begrudge the MOT's - I just begrudge the former owners of my vehicles who haven't kept them up to scratch! To be honest, I can't complain too much since most of my vehicles have been older than me in recent years!
