I will continue with MOT's on my bikes, regardless of how well we look after them a second pair of eyes can only be a good thing, and yes we know an MOT is really only good on the moment of issue.

Agree. Trig takes it as a personal insult that I still have my Historics MOT'd. He maintains them to an exceptionally high standard and I know they will never, ever fail an MOT but for £20, piece of mind and an up to date record, I personally will keep having them done.

I agree Julie, i was an MOT man and when i first did No36 and took it in somebody must have distracted me as an 8mm nut had fallen off one of the bolts in the front engine plates, techically an arguable fail but they had lots of crate flanged nuts there and just fitted one. We can all make silly errors and also you get into a routine checking things which can miss the obvious!

Normally I wait for the date to actually arrive before changing the V5 to Historic Vehicle, but someone on here mentioned you can do it any time in that year from January 1st. Can anybody say that is the rule, and has anyone been successful doing it before the actual date. Cheers.

 get a dating letter from Honda,the rule is date of manufacture ,and it could  have been in stock for ages before registering

I'm with the MOT gang, my 750 is historic and I did a ground up restoration of it but I still like having another pair of eyes looking it over.

Cheers
