Motorcyle Servicing
Hi, can anybody recommend a garage that services/repairs motorcycles at a fair price? I know theres Keith Dixon and Clarkes, but are they reasonably priced? Getting a Bike on Monday, so would like to be prepared. Cheers

What kinda yammahammer are you getting? Crotch rocket or something more sedate?

I have a '78 650 chopped down ... replaced the soft tail with a hard tail ... solo seat ... and I'm going to put forward controls on it. It's stored for the winter; so, I don't have a pic. And winter here might hang around till June

Here's a before pic.


Sorry about the wander, but I have a passion for bikes.

It's just an 'ickle YBR 125, my first bike. It's cheap and reliable. It was either this, or a Honda CG125, but ultimately I just preferred the look of the Yamaha.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will just use Dixons tbh
