Default Fiver Dyno Day

As said in the title, was just looking at jordan bikes website and on 19th march there doing a cheapo dyno day, dont know if its of any interest to anyone in the area but thought its worth a mention.
http://www.jordanbikes.com/events/fi...day/#highlight

I was originally looking because my g/f's father was saying that for jordans 8th birthday or sumthing theyre hosting a suspension set up thingy where they set your bike up for your weight for £20 or something like that, its not advertised on the website yet but ill be keeping an eye out for it. Just thought that this may also be of use to some people.

No f***ing way are those neglecting hamfisted buggers going anywhere near my bike again.

Expensive at half the price.

At least you would get an accurate, certified readout of the exact power your bike is making.

A fiver sounds reasonable for such clarity and peace of mind.

Had it dyno'd there since it was a convenient location, first run was fine, guy did it properly. Then left it on dyno while I changed some jets, checked a few things. I asked them to run it up again about 40 minutes later, they must have sent YTS guy out or something because he jumped on, set the dyno up ready for a run, then started my (by now almost cold) bike and gave it full throttle, right to redline.

Not fackin happy!

First guy was fine, decent chap, did it fine, made same recommendations I reckoned on. Hey maybe they don't let spastics loose with engines any more and it will be a bargain?
