Rob Berrington-Smith - SV650.org

Went to Rob's on Friday to get service, mot and get the fueling sorted as bike was stalling and 'jumpy' since I fitted the new can. Anyway, it seems that Rob is going back to S.A next week for good

( got a job offer he couldn't refuse ) and I was wondering who to use for future bike repairs ? I've tried a few places near me over the years but they haven't been that great one way or another !

Damn

yeah, Rob leaving will be a real loss to the London biking community! Still I can't blame him for going back, he's going to be involved in some off road racing which sounds absolutely wicked

think he's planning leaving drinks soon BTW if anyone's interested in coming along to wish him well

Yeah it's a shame as he's a top bloke. He is ( I think ) going to be race manger for 2 to 4 cars in the S.A Championship and I think doing something with/in the Dakar Rally ! Can't blame him going at all

Oh no!

Good news for him, but not so good for the rest of us.

It's been mad!!!!!

I've decided to give up the rat race for good, and have purchased a GirlsBike2 franchise and will be opening the london store in the next couple of months.....hopefully.

Lots of dealing with solicitors, accountants, estate agents, tax folk for now tho

Can't wait to have my own shop full of nice bike gear, and to spend all day talking about bikes and clothes
