I for one hope that we would post all bad experiences with motorcycle related services on here. There are a tyre fitters in Salisbury I wouldn't go to for the same reasons as described but that's based upon hearsay, not first hand knowledge. In recent years I have had tyres fitted at Micheldever, CW in Dorchester and Hayballs all without issue.
The problem at this workshop was resolved, it just seemed a shame it needed a re-visit and discussion to do so. If the mechanic is genuine he will I'm sure be being extra careful to ensure rims are suitably prepared before fitting new tyres in future.
I don't agree with the steer clear bit though and IMO its unnecessary as readers will make their own choice based on the rest of the post.
