My 03 plate Honda Jazz, very cheap, 120000 mile commuter failed the MOT. The horn was knackered, which it's been for the past three MOTs, it worked but didn't really make a lot of noise, this time they didn't like the fact it kind of made a noise and then kind of honked, said it was two tone and not allowed. :lol
Anyway, they joys of an old car is that I get to go and play down the scrappy in a situation like this.
Got a new horn, realised the pump for the rear screen wash (that had packed up last year) was situated just to the side of the horn, so grabbed that too, BONUS!
Fitted both, both worked, MOT passed and I can now wash my rear window as a bonus!

Mine is in my local garage.....full service, pre mot, powder coating the swingarm and top yoke, cleaning, greasing, steering head bearings, sorting out the lights, carb balancing..........looks like ill be skint.......but illhave a fully operational bike come april which is a rarity for me. 8)
Next year it will be the breaking system & a new seat unit....maybe cafe racer style....possibly a new headlight.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
Yesterday, took delivery of the Street Triple, took the battery off and put it on maintenance charge, locked the bike up, pulled a cover over it, and watched the snow bury it and the Fazer :\
Also arranged to have a nice large shed installed to hold both bikes and give me somewhere to work on them, installation date end of Feb.

Just make sure it is big enough to take at least 4 bikes? :lol
I was thinking of more when a couple of Foccers would be visiting, they wouldn't be expected to leave their bikes outside. :lol
It would be very difficult to negotiate the steps into the kitchen :lol

I like your thinking... LOFOS hit Cumbria.
As to getting into his kitchen up the steps, you've seen kickstart, right? :b

Thanks,Kit,,i hope so,,it seems to be the less focused superbike,no mode gadgets,just rider input, so I thought I would try it,£4,150.00 and 1,700 miles on the clock, 2009
