Crazy Southerners!

Ha!! Two wheeled southerners!! Dream come true! Ive been in Liverpool without a bike and now Im home with a bike But don't know anyone else down here with bikes... so HI Im Hannah!

As an aside I haven't had my bike down here before and want to give it a decent service, (and MOT) so does anyone know anywhere good that I can send my bike to get a good fettling?

Cheers!!

Hi and welcome to the forum from Bristol. Glad you're back on a bike and enjoying it.

I use a very good guy for my servicing etc who's workshop is based in portishead. He's also mobile and charges no vat so cheap as well. He used to be a spanner at riders in Bristol before setting up in his own.
Not sure if its a bit far for you? Where you based exactly?

Ps lets see some pics of the bike!

Thats brilliant cheers!! Im based in Langport which is a bit further south, but I dont mind travelling a little further than normal for my bike if it means getting it done well. Its definitely worth it for two wheels!

Im loving biking, I only did my DAS last year after getting back from the TT and Im already addicted! I ride a black naked K7, completely original but looking to start editing as soon as Ive got money!

This is my toy:



Thinking of getting a rear hugger and belly pan for him... to start with. What do you reckon?

Nice bike I agree its time to get modding and make it your own.
I reckon the naked SV looks great with a belly pan fitted.

Are you looking for purely aesthetic mods or would you like to improve the bike in other ways?
Most SV owners will tell you the best money they ever spent on their bike went on good rubber and upgrading the suspension.

Hello.

I hear Two Spanners Automotives (Swindon or Melksham branch) get rave reviews.

Cheers, I think he's alright too! Im not sure about mods, I think at the minute it'll just be aesthetics until I can get some more money (the joys of being a student!) But ultimately Ill be doing some more serious upgrades... Cheers for the advice!! Ive heard new rubber is the first thing to do.

I believe they had to let Ben, the YTS boy, go due to bad behaviour and timekeeping

Ah yes, young Ben. Timekeeping really wasn't his strong point. Do you think Two Spanners will get a replacement YTS lackey?
