Boom, pass!

I left it at the garage for its mot and I walked home. I could hear the mechanics calling each other on the PA speaker. They loved it.

The only problem I had was a brake light bulb was out - which I'm kicking myself about now! I drove it to work tonight and I'd forgot how awful it is to drive. It was great! But I managed to melt a corner of my new mudflap on the exhaust,

Well a week on the road and today I can fix the only issue I've had,

The handbrake restraining strap broke and the cable was rubbing on my wheel, I've taken the oppertunity to replace both with some thicker steel

Image

I've just painted them up when they are dry I'll fit them!

Thanks for all the kind words it's good to have the Suzuki back!
