they are a nice bunch on the forum, as long as you don't mind people taking the michael on regular occasions. and if your bike is blue, they'll claim that you're from wales

however, as i think PB will confirm, they know their blackbirds, and all very willing to give advise. ditto John.

ah - but if you go there for a service (i'm not mechanically minded so wouldn't trust myself working on a 180mph bike!), you can save a packet, and you know that the bike has been done properly, because you help john do it

my 28k service cost me £30. The major service (16k) was £220 or so, as opposed to £450 at my local dealer.

Bike has just over 11000 on it.I will be giving it new oil,plugs,air filter and sorting the brakes.New pads and fluid all around.Still on original brake pads and chain and sprockets.Chain and sprockets are in good condition,brakes i,m doing for piece of mind.
I,m perfectly happy working on a 180mph motorcycle!
What could possibly go wrong!
