Default My horn fell off - thumbs up for Mickey Oates

Let's be clear about this, the horn on my 3 month old sub 2000 mile K6 FELL OFF! Are you listening Suzuki UK?

Cleaning the bike yesterday and something was rattling about behind the radiator, turned out the horn was just hanging by its wires. Absolutely no sign of the nut/bolt/screw whatever that should've been holding it on

So off to Mickey Oates I go and I'm lying under a new bike on the showroom floor with a torch when a salesman says (not unreasonably) "Can I help you?"

I explain what's happened and he disappears out the back and returns with the necessary fittings. No suggestion of payment, just looks at me like I might be a mentalist (again, not unreasonably) and off I go. Good work Mickey Oates fella!

Now all I have to do is reattach the bloody thing...

And don't even get me startted on my Scottoiler http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?p=654684#654684

Did they do the 500 mile service? I ask, because bolt checks are part of that...

No, Cupar did the service. Can't really complain, it was free with a crazy cheap new bike and its only done 60 odd miles since its last good clean so it must have happened recently.
