| Hmmmm....well, most people would just be glad it passed :P
Seriously, it often doesn't look as if anything astounding is being done, but most MOT testers are pretty thorough. Too thorough most of the time, My ST "failed" the test because it had a loose petrol tank. The tester wouldn't undo the two allen bolts on the ignition surround to see for himself...
I had to borrow a couple of allen keys, take the ignition surround/tank pad off and the saddle to show him that the back of the tank has a damn great pin holding it on and front of the tank is held down by a rubber strap...it was only when he saw that it was built that way and just as Ducati intended that he gave me a ticket on the 'retest' |
