Any recommendations for a pre65 friendly mot`er in Brum?

Commercial Fleet Services on Wainright Street, Aston, B6 5TJ - they are a truck servicing and MOT depot but MOT bikes too as the MOT gaffer is a biker. Not into trials but has a BMW GS which has been used offroad whilst travelling from North to South America. It's been a couple of years or so since I used them though

Dave The Frame, Unit 8, Farrow Rd Ind Est, Shady Lane, Birmingham, West Midlands B44 9ER - Custom bike builder, isn't into offroad but understands trials bikes and what they are used for.

I've had trials bikes done at both places, both understand the perculiarities of trials bikes and are sympathetic to certain requirements. Always helps if you take it in a van/whatever so it is not ridden straight from the premises onto the public highway with a newly issued certificate. You have to book in advance at both, not just turn up like the good old days.

It may be too far to travel but Paxford Garage near Moreton-in-the-Marsh also know how to mot a trials bike, the owner Clive rides trials himself.
BIG fully legal number plate is a good start

we use Genesis motorcycles in bromsgrove - very good and understand the requirements of trials (including pre 65 as he's building a bike himself)
