[Akzle]

From you ... less is not only normal ... but expected. And would expect no more.

no, why would i do that? my time gets no cheaper. you want cheaper? buy less.

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!

Well as it was January and its now end of August I would be skeptical of you using the term "a few months"

Still wouldn't let him work on my bike....

Still wouldn't let him work on my bike....

Agree with that

cheers

[awayatc]

have never yet had a cheap repair...........

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.......


What about window washing or something?

[jasonu]

And he was average ​how?

Yes that wasn't as 'back yard garage' as it was made out to be.

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

[awayatc]

And this particular shop was.........?

[Bikemad]

well as he is in Ak it can only really be holeshot or cyclespot as i can't think of any other bike shops next door to each other??

[BlackSheepLogic]

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.
