Does anyone know if we are able to get hold of the form that the garages use for the MOT? Could be well worth having one when due thats all.

I've bought a Hagon rear shock for the CCM! The shock is actually for a 'onda CRF 230, but as I've just bought a standard one of those off Cap'n Paul as an experiment, which really worked: lowered the bike by 40mm, and really felt much better sprung, even though the shock has NO damping, it's well worth doi...
