greetings from the east coast brothers and sisters

So a preliminary visit to a local test station and told that they had no issue with the the rear seat and no footrests - result. 

But the morning of the test I realised that without a chain guard, the so-called rear seat had to come off. Fuck, and a last minute wheel removal too.

And a Fail! 

Handlebar bushings loose, funny how you get used to somethings 

 The one old year old rubber crap above, 
replaced with new polyurethane bushings 

a £3.50 fix and a Pass,

and a celebratory trip down the road to the coast
