I have used Mark at Powerlinks on the Crow Arch lane industrial estate for 5 or 6 years now an all my bikes. Does tyres, servicing, repairs and MOT. He is pretty hot on MOT's so not one to try if looking for some 'leniancy' but if like you me you really want to know your bike is safe and in good order then can't reccommend him highly enough. Likewise his servicing and repairs, really knows his stuff, particularly jap stuff and you won't get fed any bull****. Try him on 01425 472100, you only have to see the bikes he preps to know you're in safe hands.
I tried an ex race team guy year before last to set up suspension, change fork seals and set carbs on my Gixer11. Obviously knew his stuff and talked a good game with loads of race anecdotes and all manner of photos and memorabilia but a week later steering damper bolt fell out while I was riding the bike! Following this I checked bike thoroughly and found fairing screws missing and one fork seal hadn't been changed! Absolutely won't be trusting my life to someone who thinks road bikes are only a means of earning a living.
