Well I thought I treat old Blue to a full workshop service since 2015 had been a busy year.
I placed the ST into a young guy just starting out on his own with a new repair business at Coolum. I did this after a long talk with him and thought I'd support a new local young start.
I arrived at his workshop where he only had a couple of bikes in the shop to be worked out. So I was impressed with the way he operated so far. He took the bike and wheeled it into the Shinny, clean, new and sparse workshop. I said ok I'll leave it with you having already discussed what was needed to be done.
He said wait don't go just yet I'd like to inspect the bike while your here. So he had a look around the bike torch in hand. As hedid he found the front left fork had blown, I looked and there was oil seeping everywhere, I'd only washed the bike the day before and didn't see a thing. He also had a look at the top bearing on the tree, I said I thought it may have been time to service it.
So he's phoned me with parts prices and so far I've found him good with good communication. Although I don't have the bike back yet and so can't judge the end result II'm happy so far, he talked to me, pointed out what was needed where as at the dealership it goes in behind the big door and that's it......
I'll keep you posted and for any Sunny Coast riders I'll post his details...
