North West - Garage Advice
Hi All,
My bike's MOT is due in a few weeks and I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of a good - friendly bike garage? I know that I could take it to a Car MOT station - just wondered any good bike specific places in Lancashire? Hoping to leave the baffle out of the scorpion can - is this a bad idea? Matt

I always use Brian at Wheelton Garage. He is extremely bike friendly and regards a loud can as an essential safety feature.

Depends
I once forgot to pay him, it was only when I was putting away the cert that I remembered and had to nip back with the reddies. I think last time was about £28. He is tight on safety related. and I have cringed at some of the stuff he has bounced.
