They messaged me earlier so I popped down to Stroud to check it out again in person. A really nice twisty ride there that you can actually enjoy at the speed limit.
Good condition for a 5 year old bike, everything seems okay. Slow Domino throttle so should be a little less awful as far as looping it.
Put a deposit on it and should sort finance this weekend. Hopefully.
Swung by my MOT guys (who also run the local trials club) and turns out all I need is a horn, not even a speedo apparently!

Handy to know him!
I imagine most testers would need to pull out the rule book every year.How long have you had your licence?
and how many bikes is that now?(I am just jealous)

I had to dig around for this on my last mot after my dash came off and I was using GPS.
Its one of those stupid things - you don't need it for the MOT but from my research according to the UK Road Vehicles Regulations of 1986 “every motor vehicle shall be fitted with a speedometer which, if the vehicle is first used on or after 1st April 1984, shall be capable of indicating speed in both miles per hour and kilometres per hour, either simultaneously or, by the operation of a switch, separately”
So technically plod can have you on that regardless of MOT.

cheers, I figured it would be some sort of restriction on road use, day time only, that sort of thing.
Only trials bikes i've seen up close had nothing electrical, which makes sense, batteries are heavy.
