Really wow well you guys are lucky because it’s a pain
Europe and the mot every year is even worse

Bingo

My husband is always commenting on the rust buckets over here in the US. He says 'that would never pass MOT back home'...

Good thing he wasn't with me on the road today when I took him lunch. I wasn't in the best of moods...a rust bucket white van, with a guy on the phone, cut me off twice, for no reason?...it was hard to keep my cool and say 'well there you go kind sir... please cut in front of me and slam on your brakes while the back of your van falls off and hits me in the face'.

I asked for meditation cds for my birthday :laugh: That and a new pair of sneakers and a kettle ball. They would have come in handy today to beat out my aggressions when needed.

To the OP... yeah, the frame rust sux - I'm looking at a frame swap right now for the very same reason. Good luck.

Have you asked any of the breakers like Paul Grant or Mike Sides if they have frame to sell? Fly there, stick it in a U Haul then drive home?

I heard Will Tillery is selling them and can get them galvanized if needed?... Haven't contacted Paul or Mike. No one in town is willing to do this job so I'm sending it out of State.
