THE BRAT IS EXHUMED........

Today The Brat was taken out of slumber.
A quick wash down and check over following winter hibernation.
Onto the Government website to remove the SORN status (Statutory Off Road Notice); and pay road tax of £66.65 for six months.
I now have ONE BIKE I can now ride whilst we have a sunny Spring week.... Whoooopie!

Good luck. I'm mildly pi55ed off I'm going to miss out on what could turn out to be the best week of of the year for powered two wheel activity.

The Brat Gets a Full Health Check

So it's that time of year when the annual roadworthiness test (MOT) is due.
Booked in at 4.30pm today.
30 minutes later and The Brat has a new ticket, no advisories.
Mark the tester said it's the best one he's seen in years and looks like it just came from the BMW Showroom.
I'm now fully legal for the Summer.

THE BRAT IS EXHUMED........2026

Today The Brat was taken out of slumber; following winter hibernation.
A thorough wash & Autoglym polish followed by black plastics treatment gel.
Some shit on the screen I cannot shift!
Full check over and tires inflated to spec. Lubed what needed lube.
MOT test needed (done free at work TRIUMPH)
Then on to the Government website to remove the SORN status (Statutory Off Road Notice); and pay road tax for six months.
I now have TWO BIKEs I can now ride when the sun shines; Whoooopie!

Only one post between two exhumations shows I didn't have much time to ride last year, shame on me.

The Brat is looking sharp again.
