wouldnt send my bike to alan lear if i was paid too! their shocking and time iv talked to them about problems they spend their whole time saying how they dont wana do it. I only use them for MOT's cos I have never known them to fail a bike (have dropped them tho)

Yeh Chris from Double take lives at the end of my road, we were going to speak to him but thought best ask on here first.

My folks are on the outskirts of Eastleigh, where the bike is untill its fixed, I live in Swansea though so not ideal..

Alan does take a bit of talking into doing Jobs! I've never had a problem but as I said, I've never taken anything too complicated in.

Spike I think you passed me on the M3 this morning on the way to Basingstoke. I was in a car. :down:
