David phoned around this morning to get the pair of us booked in for mot on both bikes, he tried a couple of our sponsors and got us both in at S.N.C. Vehicle services at Darlington, i had a tootle over to Davids for a coffee before we went, hoping the rain would stay clear for a while...... First impressions to anywhere are really important to me using them again. Ive gotta say "Pete" who owns the place could not have been more friendly, even though he was really busy and he had a guy from the ministry checking his work he took time out to talk to us about our bikes ant TB`s. As usual i had my camera with me and Pete was more than happy for me to walk about in his workshop to take a few photo`s Just in case David`s beemer didnt pass we spotted a replacement for him..... even had his name on the plate No place is complete without a coffe machine, and a TB`s sticker on it. I would highly recomend " Pete " to anyone wanting work / mot done, well worth the 20 odd miles from mine to Darlo........ and he only charged us £ 25 each... One lad we talked to outside just happened to be on a blade with a fantastic paintjob, the photo`s dont really do this bike justice......... Eat your heart out Lee...... this is how a blade should look .... Roll on the weekend now.......if it dont snow...

Bank top at Billingham, usually knock money off if two or more bikes are booked in together. Least they did when i used to take my two, probably best ringing and clarifying as no doubt times have changed.
