COME ENJOY A BARBY AND FREE SUSPENSION SETUP ADVICE AND WITH SHAUN HARRIS

HERES THE DEAL
come down to my place from 10.30 am on--- Ill have a couple of bags of sausages to cook up on the barby and tea n coffee for those that wand a hot drink.You guys n gals can sit around and talk shit
MEANWHILE
SHAUN HARRIS will be in my gargre with his measuring tools ready to advise you on ways to improve your suspension from just simple adjustments through to -well thats up to you but the skys the limit.
Guys n gals this is a rare opportunity to meet a man you KNOW might just have a couple of clues about suspension Just shutting up and listening to what he says will be an education in itself let alone the chance to get your bike transformed from an evil brute back into the bike you love.

Shaun will measure up the sag settings on your bike, Shaun will then give you an educated opinion of what work you might need and what you may need or want doing, to improve your ride, and make it safer to ride.


The idea is for you to come to my car/bike yard and talk with Shaun face to face, so You can work out any work different or related to a great offer he has going and as a way for determining if you need or want any work to be done, and to confirm bookings for any work in the future .:2thumbsup:2thumbsup
Shaun will be based in the main wortkshop in the yard . Entry will be by the main back door



As an aside when you get your bike back there is an IDEAL test ride route of 15km that WILL tell you if the bike is transformed--AND its just down the road. :whistle::whistle:


Please NOTE
Car/Trailer parking is OVER THE ROAD in the carpark.
BIKE PARKING is round the back of the workshop
-Sorry I just dont have room for a bunch of cars/trailers/vans actually in the yard. :girlfight:
.

I'll fire up the ol barby in the arvo for anyone that wants to have a Sausage or two and just generally talk some shit .

Cheers to Frosty and Shaun...

I never realised suspension could be so complicated.... I'm sticking to Computing, it seems a lot easier ! :D...

Took the bike for a good ride afterwards.... very nice, can really tell the difference, so much more confidence and smoother through the corners now !

Cheers again !!!
