The dreaded expertise.
Went today with the naked RDLC to the "Expertise", the local MOT,
happens evey second year for a bike that age...
And failed! The rules
have changed once again and they didn't have the limit values for the
dics... How smart.
To top that, the rear caliper seized and that's a no-no. So a new date has been set in two weeks time. Another 50$ down the drain. What's more, you are now not allowed to do the work yourself and sign for it, neither can a mechanic inspect the work and sign it for you (that was handy when you have mate and do the job yourself)... I really can't picture myself going to a shop that has never seen me and aske them friendly service info...
With some 20 bikes, I have to do the stuff myself otherwise I'd be totally broke. The web is really closing on self-mechanics and enthousisasts...
