Hi All,
As part of the program of getting Alans bike back on the road his front wheel needed straightening after hitting a pothole some years ago (its been off the road for the best part of 4yrs) Took said wheel up to Ron Thersby in Stockton on Tees this morning and left it with him whilst we went for a coffee, 90 mins and £60 later one straight wheel. (Motorworks want £260 for a s/h wheel if they have one) Brilliant service for a reasonable price--Well recommended.
Someone is now like a kid before Xmas----"I'm getting my bike back on the road" MOT next Fri and we'll take it from there.
Regards Peter.
He had some wheels from the Honda UK BSB bikes @ over £2000 each which I thought would only be fit for the scrap bin but no he would be able to straighten them, If its good enough for Honda then that will do for me.
