Took the Wee for it's MOT. It passed after the mechanic corrected the headlights both of which were aimed (to the limit) at the floor.  I had to admit I have never ridden it in the dark.  :shy:

I see what you did there.

You are pleased about your new, bright lights. You said they are brilliant. Brilliant sometimes describes bright light.

Very :lala: good.

I booked my Wee in for an MOT (Mon 13th) and did a few small jobs in preparation for that. I repaired a damaged indicator stalk, checked all the lights and switches, glued the latch on the top box back together (first accident, broke the top box latch - seemed to be very weak), tightened the chain to spec.

I have a few more things to do, nothing major, looking forward to my first proper bike ride to & from the MOT centre in Cookstown. It's been a long process, I started doing the direct access training in April, I'll be glad to get all the tests, lessons and everything over with, so I can just ride the bike when I fancy, use it for travelling and work on improving my skills.
