Default bike service

Anyone around the Rayleigh area recommend a good place to get the bike looked over for 4000 mile service, being too lazy to bother myself this time.

thanks in advance

Sorry, I've got no idea. Hopefully someone who does will come along soon.

From what i've heard, alpha motorcycles are pretty good (the suzuki + yam dealer down the london road) but then again you'll probably pay a price for that. Where abouts in Rayleigh are you? Saw a couple of SVs around last week in the highstreet. Possibly you?

Alpha's in Leigh are OK, they are not that expensive, just ask how much it will cost first. Cheap and cheerful is Benfleet Motorcycles near Manor Trading estate. I have also used Julian Sopers in Leigh, they are OK but again, get a price first

EssexDave, if it was a black on parked up in the taxi rank spot then probably me, far easier using the bike than the car in the high street....

I did get a price from Alpha but the thing that put me off was that they were instantly ?50 more than the Braintree (too far to bother with) suzuki dealership... anyway thinking that the manor trading place might be the one good price and they seem ok.. thanks.
