Motorcycle Valeting

Post by Kwacky »

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent valet near me (South Brum way)

I know there's the one in Newbury but I don't really fancy the 1.5 hour ride to watch someone for 3 hours wash my bike then the 1.5 hour ride back.

I'll give them a call, see if they know what they're doing. I don't want them thinking a bike wash is the same as a car wash.

I went to that one in Hinckley last year Kwacky. Did a great job. He really goes to town on it. If you are an all weather rider I would recommend it.

Sorry, there is no video here.

Either it was deleted or it never existed in the first place. Such are the mysteries of the Internet.

It's taking ages to upload to photobucket. I could email it if you want.

Seems to work for me! I need to book mine back in again for the winter too
I went for shinybikersysdrome. He is very professional, does a great job and loves a chat! I had mine done earlier in the year; on the day it snowed so I rang him up and he was very flexible on times and he even checked the weather for the areas I would be passing down to him! He also offers a mobile service Kwacky and I know he doesn't travel quite a distance, I would highly recommend him
Unsure if this helps at all

Well I think your all mad. Paying some one else £60 to clean your bike. That could be spent on bling and just thing of the satisfaction your missing out on knowing you did the job and how amazing it looks.
