Alpine adventure on the Trophy SE

[Coconut]

Pauli363 :

Assuming the MOT is conducted to the same standard on your side of water as it is on mine,
I have attached a copy of the Motorcycle MOT Checklist - downloaded from the .GOV website today ....

Cheers

I think our tests are done slightly differently.  The first major differences are that NI vehicles only get their first test at 4 years.
The second major difference is that we have dedicated MOT test centres run by the DVNI, local garages cannot carry out an MOT.

That MOT list you listed looks like a manually filled in form?  Ours is computerised.

From the list I'll indicate what was not done:

no check on headbearings
only spun front wheel, but never shook side to side to check bearings, and never checked the back wheel at all.
only had a cursory eyeball around the bike, but never handled the exhaust, final drive, frame, footrests, nor checked the fuel system.
Never checked wheel alignment.
I never got off the bike and the examiner never got on it.

Did check brakes on rolling road, lights, horn and indicators.

Trip preparation continues...

New rubber getting fitted monday.  Michelin Road Pilot 6 GTs front and rear.

[Pauli363]

All booted up with the new Road 6 GTs.  Also a new set of EBC rear pads.




That pretty much completes my bike prep for the May start to my Alpine trip.  Just need to scrub these tyres in a bit and bar any last minute issues, ready to go...
