+1 for Flymo - helped me sort out my new fork springs (in the days before my Gixer front end).

He also helped me get home from a track day in Anglesey, for which I am forever grateful.

He's got a good set up at his place, tea is good and plentiful, although there were no chocolate Hob Nobs

Electro - if you're heading over, make sure you take the baffle out and go through the tunnel...you don't even have to pay on a bike! (although it used to cost 20p)

My door is always open mate.

I'm nowhere near the league of some of the others on here, such as Flymo, YC and many others who help out on here, but am pretty competent.

I do all my own servicing and repair work and have plenty of good quality tools. Don't have a garage and desperately would like a better stand (only have cups on the one I have). If I know your coming, the wife will probably bake a cake.

I am free any day for the next don't know how many weeks, other than Tuesday 6th and Tuesday 13th. Can't use my right arm, but can talk/guide you through most jobs.
