I've a friend with a 180cc engine in his Lambretta and always wondered what happens with an MOT. I've removed my rear number plate light and that's going to be stressful enough when they scrutinize it on MOT day.
So, I tried to dill one of my sheared bolts out which seemed to go ok, until I taped it with an easy out to extract it, and with that tap it managed to go through my napkins into the head and down underneath the upper chain guide. Now at this point I think you can imagine the mental state I'm in, not a good one. After about 6 hrs of jiggling a brake cable down there it finally became dislodged and managed to get it from the crank casing on the bottom right.
So now, one's still stuck, which is an improvement on my situation about 24hrs ago so am claiming the little victory. On Tuesday the bike's booked in at the local garage so hopefully they can remove the other one.
