Default Cheap service and valve clearence check

Hi guy's, been a while since i've been on here. Just brought the bike out of hibernation and looks ok but i would say it is in need of a good service. It is also at the mileage for the valve clearences to get checked.
I'm hoping to get a good summer of riding in this year and take advantage of the free time i now have plenty of, since getting made redundant a couple of weeks ago and was wondering if anyone on here can recommend someone in the glasgow area that can do the work and is very reasonable.
The bikes a 2000 curvy.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Dave.

Pop in and have a talk.

bring your bike over to mine mate and you can service it yourself, if your not sure what to do i'll give you pointers and you can learn and save your money-just need to bring your consumables
