No chance of that mate unless its grown some cylinders

The boyz in blue could here me coming 10 mile away

New wishbones & track-rods end fitted, on 2.2 LPG, followed by geometry session at Wheels in Motion. Old wishbone bushes clearly past their best 

Feels much better, actually handles now 

Local bike garage managed to pish me off, never rang to say if it passed MoT or not. Just rang 15 mins before they close asking when I was collecting it? Also told me off for arriving 10 mins late too, when dropping it off. Never wanted to use him, but had to, this will make me never want to use them again, bloody morons. 

[TheBoy]

What you done with the old wishbones, Mr Tunnicliffe?

And is your jack accessible at some point


Which bike garage, one here in Brakkers?

[tunnie]

Err left wishbones at WIM, quite badly rusted tbh.

When do you need jack? I'm here tonight(Brackley), off tomorrow. 2.2 getting re-MOTd at 7am

Garage in Brackley, dropped off. Never had a call to say it was ready or needed work for MOT or anything, until just before they shut. So got to go collect that in the morning, I'm assuming it passed

TB I have your old bolted ball joint ones in my garage. In fact i think I have some pre pressed awaiting poly.

Fitted new rear tyres and set up. Balanced properly, no more vibration or pulling.

Leave a car at a MOT station unsupervised  , Never done that, God knows what they do with them. Only takes 30 minuets usually.

It's the bike and we are in the country, they often want it all day.(it's full garage not just MOT) Always done same with car too, just leave it with him. He fits it in when ever, never had a problem with car. Never liked my local bike garage!

Keep Biking?

Never had an issue with them, apart from disagreeing on the head bearing failure, although on stripdown, they were right.  Always found them to be helpful and honest.

Got complete opposite from them really, considering what I've spent with them in the past. They don't appear keen on my regular custom.

Can't answer on the ringing back thing. My fingernails mean I have to ring up to check
