£30's the most dear I've been in, £20 an hour at my fave IIRC, decent too

They're independent shops (reputable long standing ones though) not main stealers.

RD5 isn't a dealer either, there's just a shortage of mechanics around here, so very little competition. Used to be a Wyder Honda around the corner that charged £50/hour, which was undercut by Motobike, which is about £40-ish per hour. Only other place I'm aware of is SPOD, which is run by a pair of ex-REMEs, so they really, really know their stuff, but they charge through the nose for it.

Just been reading up on CC tensioners so will be giving them a twist tomorrow night and see it that curers my rattle, if not they'll be coming out on the weekend to see what's happening

But if the place is convenient for the sex shop, that would clinch it over the price...

Bike looks good I like the can

Drop the bike in for work, wander down two units to the sex-shop and browse for a while. What's not to like?
