I still have all my Historics MOT'd, but that's because I like collecting pieces of paper for the bikes history file 😁😁😁

I have always done mine at least once to prove after the initial restoration it was road worthy. ;D

Oh yes they comply to the law.  I asked my insurance (pj) what they thought of the new(ish) mot rules and they replied that in the event of a claim they would "go thru the bike" checking for defects. 

So I chose to have an mot done.  Especially after a complete rebuild.  Apparently bikes with an mot history fetch better money at auction.... So they say.  It must help in the selling anyway.

I think it was an error to remove the need for an mot on older vehicles anyway.  Once every 2 years would be better.

I managed to buy a pack of 5 of these small o-rings for 1.69 off ebay.  Hopefully they will be ok.  Not a massive loss if not!.  They arrive next week.
