speedo and the mot

I had my Anglian moted yesterday.
I asked the tester about the need for a speedo and he said that it is not a requirement to have such on a bike to pass the mot. however it failed for noise. I made a muffler by fitting a piece of tube over the end to clamp a washer to the end of the exhaust. this greatly reduced the bark and it passed the next day.

And took it off again the day after that..?

Spoke to my tame MOT man today. He said that a machine of that age should not be failed on noise, only much newer bikes. I think they need special markings on the exhaust or some old EEC nonsense.

Hope you've got it sorted Mike - you'll be OK for next year's Arbuthnot!

gear lever

hi folksthe original makers of a lot of pattern parts for the british industry was mce of watery lane birmingham, they also had lorry loads of genuine parts from the bsa/triumph group delivered monthly sid the boss used to pay me to go up to the wharehouse to sort out what bits had arrived so he could list them for resale,it was amazing what the factories got rid of in those days,w. e wassell was one of their competitors the other side of birmingham over in burntwood . after many changes wassell are now trading from lincolnshire h i have had a trade account with them since the early days so if any gra member wants any information on the parts they supply i can help out, and probably supply at a price which will make most dealers cry, a small note the pattern parts which mce used to supply were renowned in the trade for being not of the best quality will

No big expense. Just disappointed as the pedal is all I need to complete my Pathfinder. It will go back on Ebay from whence it came.......
