    Fucking hate that. Spend 2 hours fucking around with someone's crap then they whinge about it costing to much and how it should have one taken an hour or less. If it's that fuckin easy and skillless how about you do it ya prick!

    actually have got very fuc'in few pleasant memories of jobs well done by "Professionals"

    Credentials need to be bloody fuck'n outstanding for me to even consider letting anybody near anything I ride or drive.......

    Well the foreman of one of my suppliers was making him bits.

    He's the only one I've got.

    take it easy boys

    take it easy on the man.. seriously..
    After my experience with a official japanese bike dealer for my bike repairs i wouldnt mind tryng anyone for repairs.
    All that fancy stuff (insurance, official dealer, reputable supplier etc) doesnt matter when the guy that fixed my bike fogets to bolt the back brake on properly and its just hanging. lucky i found out after only riding 20kms and didnt crash. when i took it back he started saying how the shop next door is 10 times worse. started telling me about the time the shop next door forgot to bolt fron brake callipers and they jammed on the rider while riding at 100. the guy came off on the motorway etc..
    not very professional

    So due to this experience you think taking a "less than valuable" bike to some guy who six months ago could not figure out the chain length he needed would do a better job?

    I have a great old engineer who looks after my bikes and cars. He tracks the milage, does the wof's even washes and polishes them after he has been doing the maintenance. I started using him after a certan well known bike shop forgot to tighten the front axle on my 1200 Trophy after a tyre change. He is just a bit expensive and rides a Harley.
