A "Big Up" for Whites Honda in Darlington
 

What service these guys gave......

As most of read, I had a few tyre problems while on the N/S ride out. Stuck in Middleton in Teesdale and needing a new tyre it was suggested that I gave them a call.

Got a mate back in London to find me the number on the Internet, and then gave them a call. They didn't have a new tyre but could do me a "part worn" to get me home.. Brilliant.

We found our way there (couple of nice roads) and they immediately took the bike in the workshop and offered me a choice of two tyres.

One was "used" the other, nearly new but had been repaired with a "mushroom" plug from the inside. I opted for the second one. They fitted it, balanced it and lubed the chain while putting it all back together.

£30 !!

The guy in charge was a really nice bloke too.

We had to return when I nothed that Rich's dipped headlight wasn't working. They took the old one out and replaced it, £4...

So, if you're ever in there, tell them that the 2 'Blade riders from London think they are top dog !!

And if you're thinking of a Honda for your next bike, check them out, they had some deals going, and that new '07 600RR looks awesome..

Yeah big thanks to the boys at Whites :thumbsup: but the only problem is they fitted a standard replacement bulb . :o But i notice , those smart chaps at Philips have brought out a new bulb http://www.autolamps-online.com/halo...remecentre.htm which is a whole 80% brighter , now that is a bit more like it . So Stu next time wear your dark visor :shock: :cool: .

Great weekend and good to meet everyone , had a ball :D and will be organising another trip up later on in the summer , will let you guys know more when we get some dates confirmed . Must say the roads were heaven to ride , glad to see the Roman road building team never went near the Lakes :D . We even managed to bring some decent weather up with us from down south , :cool: apart from one downpour of bibilcal proportions on Saturday it stayed pretty dry . Look foward to a return trip later on in the summer :eek: :D

Strange that - I've been thinking along these same lines.:cool:
July, I'm off to the Nurburgring and will be jsut too busy with work.
August, probably the same with work and it'll be crawling with tourists (school holidays n all).

So considering the effects of global warming, season shifing etc - September is looking good perhaps?:-D

Re: A "Big Up" for Whites Honda in Darlington
 

September was what i was thinking too K :o , will have to see what we can arrange . ;)

Not quite true! :razz:
Hardnot & Rynose passes are roman roads, but at least even they decided against straightlining up a 1:2
