the local missed head bearings and rh front wheel bearing!!!

The front gave out on a slow roundabout (luckily) with a grinding metal sound (300 miles from home on a Sunday with donington on wednesday) and the head bearings were spotted at a second mot a year later.
After replacing both, the bike had never handled better

I've made a point of learning my bike inside out since - and which testers and mechanics to trust

Why all the complaints because they passed?

My local M.O.T. tester starts to write out the certificate when he hears me riding down the road towards his shop

His assistant once tried to fail the bike because of the termi's and the tester put his hands over the end of the cans and said ''sounds fine to me'' and as he gave me the certificate said '' will you do me a favour and give it some stick when you ride off, I just love those ducatis''

Thats what I call old fashioned service
