I'll second Phil Stokes in Westbury I had great service from him, but no idea whether he'll be able to fit you in at such short notice. Definitely worth a call. http://www.westburyfieldsports.co.uk/Philstokes.htm

If you are anywhere near Wooton Bassett then Cridge Autos, Paul is a top mechanic and will bend over backwards to fit you in http://www.cridgeautos.co.uk/ i wouldn't use anywhere else.

If in Swindon you could try Bike Treads on Kembrey Park or Steve Lynham Motorcycles on the Kingsdown Ind Estate next to Swindon Crematorium..... Both do bike MOTs.

Shouldn't worry not having an MOT it doesn't affect the handling or stops the engine from starting. Carry on riding but book it in.

New road service station in Codford do bikes and bike MOTs, it's owned by a biker and he's always sorted me out :)

I think thats the place that Roy Vincent in Warminster recommends and uses as he doesn't do MOT's.

Possibly. I've used New Road for years and they're very good. For repairs I use Wayne Ledbury at East Clyffe and he was looking to do MOTs but don't think he ever got round to it.
