MoT or Not?
DaveN:
Hi Folks, just a quick straw-poll.
How many of you put their classic bikes through an MoT even if they are MoT Exempt?
Just curious :-)
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I plan to when I get to that stage. Wonder if it might lower insurance premium?
Nurse Julie:
Yep, I have all my Historic bikes MOT'd each year.

No, it doesn't lower the premiums Ted. Insurance companies have absolutely no interest whatsoever if its MOT'd or not but they are very, very interested in knowing we keep it roadworthy at all times.
MrDavo:
No, though when I do need an MOT I've been using the same place for 30 years. They trust me to put a bike together properly, I don't recall ever failing one. They have pointed out the odd loose spoke, it shows they do it thoroughly. We have an 'understanding' about my Sportster, which is that it obviously came in for the MOT with the original legal silencers (they live in a box in the garage, and are so heavy and restrictive the bike doesn't pull top gear with them on), and if I ever get pulled I put the loud pipes on since the MOT. ;) Touch wood, I never get pulled on the Harley for noise, as a copper once said to me, 'they all sound like that'.
If there's anything wrong with one of my exempt bikes, trust me, I already know about it.
