Misc / Open / No MOTs for 40-year-old bikes (from May 2018)
« on: October 21, 2017, 02:15:12 PM »
Just read page 14 in the October Classic Motorcycle Mechanics, no MOT's required for bikes & cars after 40 years (rolling 40 year rule applies as well)
Quite surprised as there has been no news in the press/internet...I think?

Picked up the 2nd batch of chrome plating work from Mark at RS Chrome.
Very happy with the finish, especially the wheels, as one was very badly blistered
I did drop off and collect as his unit is 12 miles from me, total cost was £500.00

I have just received a delivery from David Silver Spares, everything delivered 1st class service as always!
There is a note with my invoice explaining that the 'HONDA' legend/word has been removed from the NOS packaging due to legal issues. I gather that 'HONDA' (is it legal to type this now!!!)have succeeded with there legal action

I have bought a CB750 K4 rear luggage rack (off ebay) which is rusty in parts and will require re-chroming
No experience on re-chroming, so any advice on the subject/recommended re-chromer would be appreciated
