Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / July 2008MOT/mechanic in Derby?
Having moved yet again, I'm on the lookout for a reputable place to get a service/MOT on the Bandit. It'll be it's first MOT, and given the abuse it's had over the past couple of years, it'll likely need bits doing to scrape through The things I'm most worried about it failing on are a ding in the front wheel rim and a slightly dragging front brake I know there are a few folks round here who are familiar with the Derby area, so recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, -- D > Having moved yet again, Are you on the run? > > Having moved yet again, > > Are you on the run? Yes, but don't tell anyone, I think I'm getting away with it so far >Having moved yet again, I'm on the lookout for a reputable place to >get a service/MOT on the Bandit.

For servicing I use Pidcocks, who are a Suzuki and Kawasaki main Dealer. They're on Manor Road. There's also a little independant workshop on London Road, not far from the hospital.. Don't know the name and haven't used them before but popped my head round the door once when I was after braided hoses and they seemed enthusiastic and helpful, and had a nicely set up workshop. Oh for parts, Mick Bull Motorcycles is worth mentioning.. he's just an old geezer selling parts out of his industial unit on canal street, but seems to have at least one of everything in stock, and is cheap as chips.. >>Having moved yet again, I'm on the lookout for a reputable place to >>get a service/MOT on the Bandit.

That one is The Motorcycle Workshop, there's also Clarkes on The Spot who lent me a petrol can for the petrol muppet incident just before breaking the brake lever back in January and that one on Normanton Road that failed the CG a few years back, no idea if he's still there. >Oh for parts, Mick Bull Motorcycles is worth mentioning.. he's just an >old geezer selling parts out of his industial unit on canal street, >but seems to have at least one of everything in stock, and is cheap as >chips..

I was going to refute this but I don't think I'd be convincing. Still I suppose I had to hang my jaded man hater hat up sometime.
