    Yep, just been there and picked up my bike when I heard, so they have one less thing to worry about.

    Mine was a complete engine rebuild and would have taken them the longest to sort out!

    Two gorgous bikes in my garage now!

    Sounded like a nasty bin though! Hope he's ok.

    Good onya morcs for directing traffic

    Man that was dangerous!
    Picture it. pitch darkness. 1 cop car and an ambo parked up with lights flashing (ie. fucking visible!), and me standing in the road waving a torch the size of a baseball bat around and frantically waving my arms all over the place, and some cunts still didnt slow down and nearly make me need an ambo...

    But back on topic, ill keep an ear out for any mechys that need some work.

    Has it ever bothered you that Therapist is The Rapist if you break the word in two? It bothers me, especially when they suggest hypnosis.

    Yep he used to once upon a time, so long ago, be open on a Sunday.....

    But he needed to have some time with his wife and child......
