Yes, some years ago the fella there gave me an MOT failure on my old RS because of the 'side-play' on the final drive sprocket only to be told by Ben at Alec's something along the lines of "Oh they're all like that, it doesn't make a scrap of difference, perfectly safe" but by then of course he'd already issued a failure so he couldn't back-track. Be always wary of the 'Man who knows Everything'.

Ed if it was the young lad there that would be my brother in law He no longer works there. My brother took his GPZ500 there and guess what it failed on yep cush drive movement ,he replaced the bearing and the rubbers and it was still the same  . I think beihng a tester is a bit of a thankless task everyone expects their vehicle to pass and you are the worst person out when they fail. I have been testing cars for 18 years now and have just done the course for bikes but people with bikes usually take more care,some of the cars I see are awful.
