The things you have to do to get a bloody WoF these days. My bike (BMW G310R) went into the main dealer in town on Wednesday to have the side stand replaced under a recall notice so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and booked it in for a WoF at the same time. Bugger me, they only went and failed it on the fact that the mud guard didn't cover the whole back wheel. Err yeah, I fitted a tail tidy to get rid of the fugly BMW mudguard that came fitted to the bike. What a load of bollocks! Who thinks this stuff up? Anyhow, half an hour of 'crafting' with a Stanley knife and some spare Coreflute and Bob's your aunty, done.
The ridiculous thing is, I can take this abomination off again until the next WoF is due and nobody will bat an eyelid - not even the cops! Oh well, at least the retest is free! Pain in the arse having to go back again though.
