When I read the title I was like WHAT. 8O but read the post and worked it out. I knew you had the forks on the list. :thumbup:

Who's this Neil you keep talking about. Is this your local mechanic? Detail (spit and polish :lol: ) a few of of the customers cars and get some free work done.

I do less and less now carl valeting wise just odd few mates and family it can get out of control with word of mouth and effect my haulage work in my van and my van work earns more put even thats a dieing trade now with fuel prices so may end back in factory work next year.Shame as got two good customers who pay well but at fuel price your only earning a wage and no profit so you cant upgrade etc.
And yes neils localish rotherham only bloke me and my dad trust with bikes as he's a biker and a bike mechanic and to top it off he is cheap and does a spot on job compared to some of the morons whats done work previous on our bikes in shops

It's always the trades that rally suffer when it comes to fuel increases. I guess this will have a knock on effect of an increase in price to customers. It's not good mate. Your lucky you got a mechanic that you and your family know on first name basis and get good reliable service. There are so many rip off merchants out there.

I'm not sure Black forks is the right way to go with the Red storm. It's getting away from the standard spec. Also any stone chips in the future will show up more on Black. Black and Red is a harsh combination meaning danger in nature.

OK Mac I will give you that. I was thinking of a coral snake or some kind of flying Hornet thing, no not the yellow and black hornets. I'm sure there's Red and Black ones as well. :lol:
