    my blades first MOT Saturday, baffles in, first time ever and the sale board attached to the rear, I just need one of those little button reflectors and we are good to go. I haven't done this in three years and I'm a little nervous

    Most places I've taken mine too will fit a small reflector for a quid and pass it.
    Could always ring first to check.

    I've picked up a button reflector for 99p, having spend an hour fitting the baffle I wished I had booked in a HSS simon but no I'm booked in at honda, I will not be leaving the bike though so that they have less chance of damaging it

    Passed, however I got an advisory, my exhaust is too loud, I put the baffle in

    This will make you laugh, I put my full size plate on and stuck a button reflector on the bottom right and when the 12 year old lad doing the mot bought my bike around he said I want the reflector more central so I've moved it, he stuck it on the R&G number plate light, a little LED half the diameter of the reflector, anyway I pulled it off and stuck it in my pocket. Sometimes I wonder

    I'll eventually get a Track bike Gary but to be fair I've been telling simon that for a long time, since my factory burnt down I've a little nervous about spending dosh?

    Depends on how much you want to spend on a bike. You could have just as much fun on a road legal hack and ride it to the track.

    I know that you don't need one on a track bike as it's covered by the no lights section of a daytime MOT, but I'm not sure if you need one on a road bike?
