Hope the new managment are decent blokes? not sure when it changed hands, but my old bike failed its mot there a few months back aparently cos of excessive play in the floating discs but passed at a diffrent place with actual comments made on what good nik the bike was in Good luck and all the best to the new owners.

The lads who are in there now are getting it right in my opinion, we took 2 Bandits over for MOT last month, first time in the place, very friendly and chatty, cuppas while we waited and very thorough with the MOTs..... i will use them again ... ;D ;D

Ihave my bike booked in for MOT tomorrow with Trackside and am not happy about it, they had my eyes out yesterday with a tyre change, i had a tyre removed and new one fitted for £10, I pay £5 on the Bonlee for a car tyre change. BUT what realy p***ed me off was they also charged me £10 just for taking a tyre off another rim...what a joke, tomorrow should be interesting? just had a new battery fitted to my bike..lets see if this is an issue. Will let you know later.
