Brake callipers cleaned and serviced, oil and filter changed and spark plugs done too as well as fitting Bibios Gizmo ready for USB and hot grips. All with the aid of a new apprentice!

Stripped, cleaned rebuilt the front brakes. They had started feeling stiff but were only rebuilt last June.

Absolutely filled with salt and grime.
