Hey Stewie, yeah I live in WAR and SPOD is ace!!! Had a flat (Rear) some time ago and these lads really did come to the rescue. Pushed the bike round after riding until flat. Gave them a quick call and shortly later they saw me struggling with the bike to the garage. Young lad there ran up to me took the bike off my hands and another chap forced coffee into me hands (free of charge)!!!!! Top garage, well kept (Feng "Shoei" comes to mind!!!!). Did a good job on the Vee and left grinning ear to ear!!!!

My understanding is that they are ex-military lads starting up a decent and honest business!!! After a few lengthy discussions and observing their "Handy Work" I was more than impressed. £20 odd sorted the flat with brakes and everything looked over and teaked. Awesome stuff. I have a major service coming up before the annual rideout 07, and although it's about £200 all in, I am more than willing to hand over the hard earned to these guys.

Of course my respect for ex military may give a slightly biased view!!!

Give 'em a try and make your mind up mate. I'm sure you'll recieve the same service as I did.

Drop the SV site a mention too dude!!!!

If your in and around WAR, then get in touch dude!!!!!!!

I have also heard good news about them as well. Checked the garage out, quite small but they have the right tools etc and do know what thay are talking about. When I was there last year they had 10 bikes outside waiting for various things to be done. Some were sports others were easy riders.
They were also friendly and helpful with advice.

Totally dude. Can't miss it this year!!! I have a bit of tuning and tweaking to do prior, but hope to have me K2 in "fighting shape" for it!!!!

I'm hopefully hooking up with a few guys here around WAR or Manchester for an en mass ride up the M6 to the AR.

I'm sure she'll pass flying colours!!!
