Just a service and MOT please..

If it's down to the steel it's really hard to cut new tread with a stanley knife

Looks like there is no friction material left on the backing plates on the rear pads of the second bike too. Scary right enough.

Not knowing anything about motorbikes, is that a kind of axle stand in that first picture (seized chain bike)? Or just for steadying the bike?

It's a paddock stand, the 8mm bolts are in instead of bobbins (which on this bike will be 8mm bolts with a fancy sleeve).

Wheel has to come out to replace rear sprocket.

It's beyond economic repair but customer wants it roadworthy and MOT'd. Already had 3 hours sorting the previous wiring "repairs" out.

That's suicidal, idiotic, etc....

Discounting the legalities

Can’t let that one go... chains slack!!!

Had this beauty next, chain was seized solid, took two of us to push it onto the bench!.

I'd have put money on it being the rear caliper but was no better with it removed..

Safety and legal matters apart; do these owners not realise the price of new discs, once metal has made contact with metal?

A genuine Triumph disk is between £150 to £200 iirc, this had possibly 0.1mm of pad material left.

I can't get my head around it personally but what do I know!.

That would have been a Dangerous Failure MOT wise and Prohibition if he'd have been pulled over rinding to us..

Sure if asked owner would have said fine judgement

Fitting brake lines today, couldn't make it up. Last one I had to remove swingarm to do the rear, this one looks the same.

Nearly weekend I suppose..
