I've just got my ST3 back from Carl. I took it down on 4/5/13 for a belt service. He was hoping to complete it on the day, but as he was alone in the workshop, and had numerous folk in buying bikes and with unending phone calls, I left the bike there, planning to pick it up during that week. Unfortunately I hurt my back on the Tuesday so wasn't able to get back there till today. What a difference! The bike runs so much better, is smoother in that horrible 30-40 mph bracket and my previous comfort revs of 5k now equate to over 90 rather than 80! Ok it wasn't cheap, but from what Carl showed me it hadn't been serviced for 4years so he had his work cut out just getting the fairing off. He's a really nice, friendly chap who I can now recommend highly to anyone on here who is in the area! Chris
He's very very good . Very honest and goes that extra mile in customer service . I've never heard a bad word. Also good value for money as he does a great job and if you trundle down the road to dealer ... I think last time I saw in their wall ( I went to buy a tank pad) £65 plus Vat an hour!!!!!!! I was about to book in my 400 ... Then I smashed my front tooth up and the dentist bill Head gasket blew on car groan! But my 400 will be there soon. Btw way if you two are ever down this way and fancy a cuppa.
