... When I need to start getting the bikes MOT'd !
.
.
All this snow has stopped play up to now. Well, today I've been shamed (Strokerboy has to take some of the blame for this..titter) into pulling my finger out and getting some of the bikes sorted out starting with one of the AR's.
Quick service, check over and off to the garage ...
Its now got a nice shiny new MOT and was running great !! _________________ We are where we are... |

First one? I've done 3 already, 2 of them in February
Trying to MOT this early in the year, avoiding rain, snow and the dreaded salt is always a pain and a lottery though, isn't it. _________________ www.taffmoto.co.uk for your replacement fairing panels |

Ooops, forgot to say, loving the AR!
Looks really sweet and fresh in the more unusual white. _________________ www.taffmoto.co.uk for your replacement fairing panels |

Not a fan of the 125's (sorry) but in white it does look very very nice, (nearly bought a nice runner last year for around £400ish but decided not to)
Anyway, I try to MOT mine later in the year so all I have to do is tax them, and ride the around for a few monts before MOT time not that I get to ride them that much. |

Sunny day and I thought I would give the black AR a run up to Norbo's to drop his CD off and then have a blast over the tops.. Every time I take one of the tiddlers out I find myself giggling like a big kid

Thanks for the moments guys.
Yes Wolfy I am looking for a blue silver AR as I have a nos tank and fairing set for one, want the A model too if I can to go with my others. Rocking horse poo springs to mind though... I've been looking for five years..lol
Both the white one and black one had new shocks when I rebuilt them. I must admit that the new shocks can vary in length from the standard 33cm by 5-10mm in length. They are much stiffer than standard too.
Black AR has OXON mono shock, seat height 780mm, that's about 15mm lower than standard. Rides well and shows no sign of bottoming out even with my 16stone over the bumps (had to go into the garage to measure it... You set me off thinking... I'm doing a track AR at the minute and may switch the shocks as I'd quite like the lower suspension on the track)
White one is buried at the minute ..
Green AR is completely standard suspension, new standard shock.
This has softer suspension and 795mm seat height
