So last Saturday I had arranged to get my bike booked in for its 6K service, should have been a simple job and was due to be ready in around an hour and a half's time.
So I parked myself next to the coffee machine and cakes... like you do
Anyway Rob (good guy) came back up stairs and told me he had some bad news so I followed him down to look at the bikes and see what was wrong.
The sump bolt had corroded as well as the sump itself!!!! Holy crap you cannot be serious, now before I had a chance to throw my dollies out the pram he said, I am sorry we cant get it done today we don't have the parts as it will need a new sump as well, it will be done under warranty and as you are now bikeless I have a nice new 2012 model for you to use until yours is fixed. He did not want me to ride off just in case it leaked or worse still dumped its contents all over my back wheel.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Rob and to big up the guys at Bahnstomer Thames Valley in Bracknell for a top notch service. I dropped the loaner off today and collected mine all fixed - Happy Days.
Not before taking the loaner for a long ol ride down to Kent on a ride out with a few off the 675.cc forum on Sunday, where I got very wet on a number of occasions during the day. I must admit I do like the heated grips, a nice touch.
just thought I would share this with you guys and highlight the top service I received. 8)
