Default well I was impressed.

Following a slight mishap at Soho last night, 9am this morning I was down the local Triumph dealer needing to get a footpeg, now it's a special order item on the t'birds (big rubber thing all embossed and that), so put in my order (not cheap either ) and ask when can I expect it?, I was told tuesday, given the bank holiday I thought that wasn't bad.

Got a phone call ten to one, and it's here, just been down picked it up and fitted it, 4 hours for a special order part.

Impressive stuff in my book.

Cheers Mark.

Someone not in the practise of centre stands put it down on the right side, nothing major, but did snap the peg is all.

Cheers Mark.

Thank god for that. I thought you'd had another off, what with you being new to biking and a little wobbly...

I had a call from the dropee this morning at 8.40. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . which was nice!
The poor chap is all quite embarrassed by the whole thing. I think I helped ease his red facedness with my very kind and sympathetic words while not so effectively masking my sarcasm.
