    Re: G M Stevens are brilliant

    Yes, I agree - a bike shop like they used to be.

    He lent me a tool to do a job once - how many places would do that?

    Re: Thinking of selling but what to get next?

    Re: I have got the horn!

    Remember how the Highway Code defines a horn: 'A warning instrument'.
