Yes, now you've told me Twickenham I'll be round tonight, I virtually have your whole address!! Muhahaha! Could you leave garage/shed/lockup undone and tie a red ribbon on the handle so I know which one is yours?

Rew - good choice!

Can you bring some tyre weld with you?

The rear tyre's fecked

Track bike is so nearly MOT ready now!! Bled the front and rear brakes, 5.1 fluid up front and DOT 4 for the rear (don't use it on track), also some uprated HH sintered pads for the front. By the way, is brake fluid on the tyres bad news? I rubbed some snow over the spill on the tyre (didn't have any water to hand) but just wondering if its likely to do any lasting damage?! Don't fancy a blowout at speed!!

Also got the rear brake light working - you guys were right, it was the switch behind the pedal that needed adjusting!

Just gotta figure out why the hell neither rear indicator is working - I'm not much of an electrical expert, so that one has got me stuck!!

Tempting, but I don't think so

Free though

Potentially silly question - do you need wing mirrors for an MOT? If so, I better go find them...

nomadicS2k

I believe you do!

I'm pretty sure you don't, but ring a garage first to check.

You don't need mirrors. I think the only legal requirement is that you have a rear reflector. You don't need indicators or a headlamp. But if you don't have front and rear lights then the MOT Certificate will be stamped "Daylight Use Only". If your bike is track use only then mirrors are a waste of time. If you're going to ride it on the road then I would fit them.

It's predominantly a track bike but I will be using it on the road too, mainly to ride to and from local trackdays and the odd trip down to Ace Cafe!!

I don't think you do need mirrors, but will call up to check!
