Hi all
Thought you would like to know the trike passed her 21st consecutive MOT yesterday.
Not an everyday ride now since I changed jobs in January but still ride when I have the energy.
After a horrendous start yesterday when I found I had lost my debit card (for the second time this year) I managed to borrow the wife's card got some cash and headed for Chard about 20 miles away.
Not 3 miles down the road the heavens opened and within seconds was soaked to the skin despite waterproofs.
Not a good omen I thought.
The trike then ran on anything between one and 4 cylinders until I'd cleared the water and the sun came out. Now on all 4 literally steamed all the remaining miles to the MOT station and as I was a bit late the doors to the barn where already opened, I rode straight in on to the brake tester. 45 mins later and 38 quid poorer I emerged with the 21st MOT pass certificate.
Rode home damp but delighted.
Next milestone 25 Years.
The only thing I had to do to pass this year was to put some grip on my foot pegs as i have smooth brass, so in a bit of a panic I put 5 jubilee clips on each that way I can take them off when I want, when I get time I will drill and tap them and put a two rows of SS bolts along the length to aid grip.
Suns out so I may get some photos later, kids and wife allowing Keep the rubber on the road guys an gals.
Doc
