Had city bike mot last week, only thing was rear tyre approaching limit (pirelli city demon, once had a police tell me it was bald and illegal hen it was first fitted as has a giant flat strip down the centre) which already replaced with new pilot sporty today to match front. When doing wheel back up noticed both rear shocks fractured in two.
Just touching the oozing alloy mess with finger and half the adjustable ring that seats the spring fell off. The other side already split in two and about to fall off.
Mighty good mot inspection it had then!
I knew on cars the UK mot covers next to f all but thought a bike place doing bike mot might actually check such things?
