MOT done today. A last minute problem when I realised my dip beam was out. That initiated a fight with Vespa's plastic work and tiny self tappers - especially the one under the headlamp. The bulb was fine; the cheap little plug on the back of the bulb was a loose fit. (If you have a Vespa GTS and you have the plastics off, check this plug. I had to take it apart a bit and bend one connector so that the blades on the bulb got a good firm grip). Then a bit of a fight to get the plastic back on round the rear brake master cylinder. Screen back on and all OK. I defy anyone to this on the roadside in the dark.
Tester and I agreed that my front tyre, while legal was worn unevenly. While I'm no Valentino Rossi, I could feel a bit of wobble through the bars so it's a new tyre. 7250 miles so not too bad.

adjusted my idel revs

Took my msx wheels for powdercoating in black chrome!

Next is a paint job then reassembly!

Gave Mr T a nice wash and polish. Spent ages trying to get some seagull poo off my Yamaha topbox. It must be loaded with corrosive chemicals..

Will get better pics when i pick them up tomorrow!

Gave it a wash!
Nah, me wash the bike? Never, it just rained rather hard on the way into work today so that counts as the bike being washed in my book
