Watch This Rotary Norton Scream Around The Isle of Man TT Course

Just dont give them a reason to pull you over. If the bikes insured and you werent doing 70 in a 30 like youd stolen it then i cant see them sending you off for an MOT if it looks in good shape. Ive never heard of an unscheduled MOT either, thats a sneaky one!
