    Aaack! This is what I was doing with my non-Triumph non-motorcycle Mustang today. I had hopped in my car to run errands and saw that my tire pressure readings were 32, 32, 32, (perfect) and.....21. :eek: Since I'd only gone about 1/2 mile, I turned around and put some air in the tire before driving straight to the Ford dealership.

    Fortunately it was repairable and my bill was $0!! :) So I wound up only being out for the wait time and mild inconvenience of having it repaired. I was very grateful to not have to replace that tire as I suspect it's very expensive. Sure I'll have to replace one of them--all of them actually-- someday but I'm glad someday wasn't today!!

    It varies from state to state. Here in NM they only inspect the VIN number. In Texas they do an inspection, but it's just kind of a give us twenty bucks and you're on your way. They check parking brake, lights, and tires but aren't too fussy about it. I've never lived in Kalifornia, but I hear they are pretty picky when it comes to emissions.

    We have MOT's for cars, but not for bikes.

    and yet the Historic vehicle status means you don't need to do a MOT anymore but your vehicle must roadworthy. So when Dougal gets to 40 DD you can save yourself a few quid every year. ;)

    The only vehicle I had that qualified was my 1979 CB550 which I've just sold. :oops:I have the same issue with my VFR800, its 22 years old but I doubt I'll be around in 18 years to take advantage of the Historic status whether they ban fossil fuel vehicles before then or not. :p
