No MOT.

Failed on Exhaust[1] and a bald front tyre.

[1] Collector looks like a paper doily but tester of MOTs said chemical
metal applied 5 minutes before should be ok but it's "supposed to be a
permanent repair"

Monthy pay sucks arseholes.

It was 50/50 whether or not I was going to rat the Viagra. It was only
because it cleaned up so well that I didn't but there's definitely something
appealing about a Mad Max type of bike though...

Yours for 500 quid with a ticket[1].

I was considering Flogging the FZ1 and keeping the rat but the rat's got
less life in it, obviously and it's a novelty bike. There'sd bugger all
room for carrying luggage and stuff and anyway, I'm downsizing due to a
lack of interest. It's good for 170 in a straight but I wouldn't trust
those Buster's speedos to be accurate. Probably more like 150.

[1] TBH, I'll bodge the exhaust but it won't sound any better/louder
without being stuffed full of chem-metal and bandage.

Although I'm tempted I'd much prefer to make my own.

This is quite astounding: http://www.ratbike.org/docs/150.html
