Ok so yesterday was probably not one of my betterdays in life. I phone the MOT call center hopping to get a cancellation around the 12th of the month and got one for 9.05 that morning (this was 8.20) no problem. Phone work told them what the plan was, left Lynsey to work and over to Ards to get the car tested.
Everything was going well until he look under the car, and thats when the sh1t hit to fan. He was looking very intensely at the front right wheel and then he called me over, told me to look at the left hand side and pointed out a bolt (i thought to me self yes thats definatly a bolt I would reconize one anywhere) then he pointed out the right hand side and no bold, first think I thought was oh f*&^ thats not good. Streight away a fail, but even worse I wasn’t aloud to take the car home as it connected the seption to the tracking control arm. So I call up my dad tell him whats happend and he tells me to get a new test date (which is today) and tells me its only a fve minute job.
I get a lift back to my fokes house to get my motorbike (the only real from of trasnport a person needs) and onto work by which time its nearly 10.45. Tell the boss whats happened. He had aggreed that I could leave a 4pm as my bike had its MOT that afternoon.
Get home about 10 past 4 and start to wash the bike. my dad calls my to let me know he’s fixed the car and it can be driven. 4.30 head to MOT centre again. Thinking the bike will pass my dad had a look over it on Sunday, its all good. I get called into the test centre and the guy starts to look round the bike, he notices that the chain is really (and I mean really) loss, then he looks at the swing arm and the chain has started to cut into it. FAIL. Not good then we move onto the lights fine, indacators left one dont working properly, an intermittant fault, same with the front brake light. Get the papper that it needs to go for a retest, go to the car tell my dad the problems, Chain is sorted in 2 minutes as he had the full tool box with him.
So not a good day, on the bright side they didn’t notice the water pissing out of the bike and they let me ride it home.
