Hi all.
Mandy is having her leather trousers taken in as she is tooo thin, she say they baggy..
its by a lady who works out of a motorbike tyre shop in Middlewich (regency you may know it)..
looks a good set up there too.. for tyres and for the alterations.
Anyway we went see her- she very thorough and proffessional and is nearly taking the trousers apart and rebuilding them for mandy- really chuffed .. pick them up friday so will let you know the outcome.. about £50 for the alteration.
She lets out- takes in- repairs seams etc.. saw a jacket there she was working on that was a bit tight for rider so se has but an insert in.. you wouldnt know it wasnt original..
I will find a link if I can

I would consider going there when I need new tyres, presentl use Steve at Wheelock and he is good, but Iwill deffo give these a ring to get a price..

Guys name is Jedd Beggs, really nice fella, used to work at Bently motors. His son is into racing & is racing a 675 this year (I think).
Cheers for that one Dave, I've asked my mate for his number, but he couldn't find it & I'm too bone idle to root around for it.
I need a couple of small holes doing on mine after Sunday, plus I want "Mister C" putting on the back of them. Will give them a call now :)

£50 blimmin quid! I could have sewed em up for that price :-P
Nah sounds good if it's what she wants doing, they were pretty big on her. She should really just eat more though, would be a lot cheaper!

Aye well it's money well spent if they've been done that well. I think I still win with my £20 Belstaffs and they still fine about the waist :-P but I still think it was the sporty riding position on the back of that gixxer that caused the stretchiness at the front so probably why mine haven't done the same :-)

You could be right there M.. I said to Mand that they would probably loosen up again..in time

Just been up there, had a natter to Jedd cause the lady of the house was out. She is going to give me a ring in the week to let me know how it's going.

Can't rate them enough, great service, honest, down to earth. Only problem is Nicki has probably just given birth recently (was about to drop when we went about a month ago), so not sure whether her Mum will still be at the shop or what.
Worth a trip to the shop just to see the write ups on the wall, letters of thanks etc and the workshop!
