MOT day once again for the Tuono. First time I've been out this year....

Passed. Advisories for low rear pads (new set ordered) and one rear led indicator a bit dim.

It was working fine when I left, and was working fine when I got home....whatever. I've probably got a spare in the garage somewhere. Rear indicators seem to be a consumable item in this bike.

Too cold and slimy to get above third! (Roads, not me). At least it wasn't snowing.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
