    Thanks for the welcome,
    Only reason i don't want to use GW, is labour/parts costs, no other reason. Currently working in Frimley, company is relocating me to Swindon in a few months time. I have a few garages i would use in Frimley area, but as i don't live down that way any more, valve clearances would be impossible to do(engine needs to be stone cold). I take it someone above works there?

    Stu works in Geroge Whites but in sales not in servicing.

    There are a couple of mobile guys that spring to mind.
    One is Finbar who is a member of WB himself.
    He lives in Calne.
    You can take your bike to him or he would come to you.
    When he did my bike he gave me a lift back to Chippenham whilst he kept my bike.
    He has not that long set up in business so is keen to do a good job and is a member of WB and obviously would be keen to make a good impression.
    I think his labour charges are very good, and he'll give you a price for a service.
    I haven't had any servicing done by Finbar because I have a Ducati, but he's done tyres and cleaning for me.
    If you are looking for value for money then Finbar might be your man.

    The other mobile guy that comes recommended is Rob Jones.
    His website is here.
    http://www.rjracing.co.uk/
    I believe he's more established but then his labour charges are more.

    I have mixed view on CMC.
    The guy there will talk all day, but difficult to get anything done.
    Labour is about £50 per hour.
    We couldn't' pin him down and he didn't return our calls so eventually we took a bike away from his shop because he just delayed for too lon and didn't keep in touch.

    I know a good place in Bath but obviously that's not on your commute.

    Don't worry about it, you are most welcome to WB and look foreward to meeting you sometime. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Stu is a salesman at GW's and is bound to respond to you. ;D

    Hi welcome to Wiltshire Bikers. As for servicing try Chippenham Motorcycles on Bumpers Farm they are close and very helpful and they certainly know their way around performance bikes.

    God's teeth Lisa, you're feeling a bit affluent then, paying Finbar to clean your bike??? :-? ;D
