    Unless I am mistaken and you and your wife use him for something else.

    Most of the work he's done is regular servicing over the past 5 years or so since we discovered him. Both my wife and I ride for daily transport (don't even own a car or ever use public transport).

    He's also replaced parts that have worn out because of the mileage we do. Won't go anywhere else for tyres.

    The frequency of this is only going to increase as I'm now commuting 60k each way.

    A year ago, my speedo stopped working on my 250 Zeal and I called George. He told me how to find the problem and to order a new cable if it turned out to be a broken cable. As it turned out it was, and I bought a new one and installed it myself.

    He could have come to fix that simple thing but didn't want to charge me for something that would take him 5 mins and cost me 50 or 60, so he told me how to do it over the phone and that was that. He even sent me an email a day later to ask me if I found the problem and to let him know if I needed help.

    He was probably busy dealing with a run of Warehouse warranty claims.

    Oh yes, those! Wonder what the real story behind those were... Gotta ask him next time I see him.

    He doesn't touch Harleys either, maybe the same story there too!
