Almost spooky I was only talking to the Eastleigh repair centre myself not two days ago. They advised 18 weeks turn around though which was a bit of a shock.
I’ve done this, FFS Long story short - I clipped a dwarf wall with the trailer recently and it cracked a weld. I was on my way to have the Beta MOT’d and for the guy to repair the weld but didn’t even get out of the village allotment car park (thankfully). It doesn’t bear thinking about if that had happened on the NSL dual carriageway I would have been driving along 2 minutes later…
Thrashed the 999 in a local twisty gorge, been a long time since I felt 'the rush'...had a couple of fallow motorcycling years...maybe this year I can get out more.
