New/Old Honda passed it's MOT!

Must think of something better to call it. Took the Honda CB550 in to MOT Supercentre and it passed, with no advisories. One comment, it has the dip and main wired back to front, must have a look at that one day, next time I am in the headlamp shell. Pic shows the bike at work before the MOT, it does not look any different now it's passed.



All I did to get it through was left front fork seal, the seller gave me the seal (which I think is still leaking), and sorted out the horn (bought a relay and waterproof switch on Ebay, total cost 4.13). MOT cost 29.00 pounds, Road tax (when I get it, today hopefully) is 53.00 pounds per year or 29.15 for six months. Pretty cheap bike to get on the road!



Riding it in this morning it still felt slow in the lower gears at lower rev's, open it up though and it is fast, nearly went to 70mph, did not want to risk it so early in my relationship with it. Will now try and spend time cleaning it, need a passenger grab handle or rack for it (V rare on Ebay and expensive), have got tickets to display it at the Oare Steam Show on the 12th (http://www.wapg.co.uk/rally-public.html), which will be an early Fathers Day treat (tempted to take it to Shipton Bellinger Fete the day before, but have to tow the RRRR as well).

If I am luck it might not rain today, although it is in the wind. Long weekend again, Monday is BH, nothing planned. Tash has announced she is moving out, her last day at H4H today, she is going to work at a beauty salon other side of Basingstoke, and live with Simon and his mum until they can afford a place of their own. Dan's waiting for his last try at selection, sometime early July.

Radio is, to be honest, getting on my nerve's, too much politics/organising/budgets, not enough fun. Did get a 5 year extension from OFCOM which was good news, and the new studio build is under way. Couple of fete's comming up soon, so that will be good. And we are off on hol's as well, to Ibeza, can't wait.

Bye for now......
