Sounds like its changed a bit then. To be honest I haven't been down to the main shop for nearly a year now, might have a browse if the next time I do a parts run.

Thought I'd post this up...

Popped in on Saturday for a quick look round and pick up some garage supplies. Had a chat with a guy who liked my bike so much he was videoing it! (I kid you not).

They were handing out free gifts in the car park, unfortunately it was a nail.

Went in through the tread and out the side wall. Not a happy bunny. Got it replaced today along with my underwear as riding a bike with no air in the rear tyre and knowing about it is not fun.

Alas on Sunday I returned with Stretchie and Sister Stretchie for better look round. I've got to say I was impressed with the little warehouse they've got, row after row of Gixer. Was tempted to pop back with a jack and a socket set and get myself a front end for the SV as I'm sure no one would have noticed ;)

Crap news about the tyre SH. I've gotta get a new rear tyre meself n all sometime this week or next. 2.5K and its shot, at least the edges tread is stuffed as well as the middle :smt077

I was at GW on Saturday with Triumphumphumph who was looking at the Blade and the Gixers, the place was packed. I didn't spot anyone else from here though.

Thought I spotted the bread mobile though parked up mind but no sign of the owning loaf ;)

:shock:

Was a pretty good day, from GW to Cirencester then on to Bibury - Tetbury - A46 towards Bath and a short play with another gixer thou, after passing that back home on the A420 and the Ford esses. I don't recall any cages keeping up :D
