Where are you having your bike serviced? Flitwick Motorcycles did my first service and I intend to go back there.All back together looking nice n standard, but hopefully a lot more comfortable. Big ride tomorrow, need to get 5-600 miles on by Wednesday morning for first service. So either a run to Wales or Scarborough. View attachment 82265
Fully booked all summer it seems..... so I’m booked into Moores in Hemel. I live less than a mile from FlitMC, but can rarley use them. They’re always too booked up, and for an mot they want the bike all day. I end up riding 19mile to Gardener and White in Stoke Goldington, often same day or just a day or twos notice as a rule.Where are you having your bike serviced?

rode through Stoke Goldington this morning on the way to Olney for a coffee and chill out. Gardener and White has changed a lot over the past year or two.Fully booked all summer it seems..... so I’m booked into Moores in Hemel. I live less than a mile from FlitMC, but can rarley use them.

Yes, Paul bought the business a couple of years back. But he lost the showroom, offices and forecourt in the deal. The showroom has been demolished and the offices turned back into a cottage with another brand new cottage built in front on the old forecourt. Pauls got the two workshops, cars and bikes, Dane his mechanic and Kate in the new office; which I helped Paul create out of the old customer loos. He’s basically concentrating on Mot’s these days, cars and bikes.rode through Stoke Goldington this morning on the way to Olney for a coffee and chill out.

I just bought the Sargent seats, they feel hard as rock, but they never seem to feel any worse as the ride goes on, where as the standard seat would start to niggle a bit after a while. I had the same thing with a Touratech seat I fitted to my Africa Twin donkeys years ago, solid as rock but never seemed to be uncomfortable.Ok so its had the first service. £188 . Bloody stealers know how to charge eh?? Apparently the6000 is more than double that. I ordered the short seat buffers while there along with a few other bits.
And this morning I tried the Touratech seat a mate lent me to try. Wish id fitted it Saturday, its night n day better, even after the mods i did to the original. Looks like im buying it next.
Off to the Scottish borders tomorrow for the weekend. That should see the remainder of running done.
She's a wolf in sheep's clothing. (And, I don't care who that makes mad)We’ll she’s certainly run in now. 1400miles done now I’m up here in the borders. What a tool, I’m in a group of 20bikes, mostly GSs, but getting regular comments of how well she goes and handles. View attachment 82458
