1st MOT Failed!!!

Funkatronic · 22-05-2009, 01:05 AM

took my bike for its 1st MOT now its 3 yrs old

i was petrified that my arrow exhausts with "NOT FOR ROAD USE" stamped all over them would fail me immediately and couldnt be fagged to put the OEM ones on again so i asked my friendly Ducati mechanic to take it to their MOT place that are more used to ducatis

sure enough, they didnt bad an eyelid at my loud cans. in fact they even commented on how good they sounded, and reved it for a while twhich brought all the other staff out for a look see what the din was about.

but they failed my on my plate!!!

its the right regulation size but the space between the letters had been moved to make it read S2R .. instead of S2 R..

had to get a plate made up quick but they didnt even make me fit it to the bike wtf

and the added cheek , the actual MOT cert lists my plate as one long string of characters no spaces at all and lists the model of the bike as an M800!

cant believe they can overlook the cans but get pedantic about the plate.

guess i should count my blessings that they did not fail me on the cans too...

ho hum, live and learn at least its all done till next year. now roll on more dry weather
