Not meaning to steal the thread here but I have tried to book up with shiny bike syndrome for November time and the pay system seems pretty craps to me. Your suppose to pay a deposit through PayPal however it doesn't give you an email address or name to which to pay to! I have messaged him just waiting for a message back. Seems messed up the new system to me!!

They are in Newbury are they not? If so there is a full web site with contact details, I would just call them on the phone mate and sort it.

And they respond to Facebook posts as well.

I've used him before at the begining of the year but think the system has changed as I can't remenebr having this much trouble before!! Think I'll ring him later today and get the info I need as he does a superb job. Came back looking like new in January!!

[Rossgo]

Panic over Nooj eg shinybikesyndrome messaged me back earlier. Seems my phone must be working against his system! So I did it on my laptop and Bob's your uncle everything went swimmingly. Book up for end of November as I know he gets booked up quickly.

PS sorry for stealing the thread Kwacky

Take pics of yours aswell. May as well keep it here. Take some before pics.

I do want to get this done. Would be good to see befores and afters. As mine is in a right state at the moment. Even the arrow cans have bird sheit all over them.

I wouldn't wait too long D6. They're busy this time of year so you need to get in quick. Give Andy a call or an email.

The grit bins have been filled up in some areas as they're expecting frost at the end of this month.

One thing I was going to ask, does he need access to your own water mains?? I.e. could I ask him to do it at works carpark, but there would be no mains water available. Does he bring his own supply?

I am moving house and it's all a bit hectic due to an absolute prick in the chain, so I've not booked anything until I know 100% where I am living

[Kwacky]

He can do it at your works place.

[D6]

Right. Now to ask if I can allow him on the premises

Having washed the bike this afternoon all I can say is that the money has been well spent. Overall the bike is looking really good. There are a couple of small bolts low down which could do with replacing and some cheap metal parts around the rear wheel but otherwise the treatment has done its job

I realise it's off topic Kwacky, but is there not an attractive aftermarket tail tidy available for the SX.?

....& to bring it back in line with the subject, I hate cleaning bikes.
Actually, that's not strictly true.. I resent the time it takes, as I never seem to have enough..
Anyway, I'm saving up the cleaning of my 675, for when I meet Spudda. (He likes cake & beer, right.?? )

[Kwacky]

Yes, there is a tail tidy and the OEM is ugly, but with the number of unmarked police cars I pass I'm going to leave it as standard at the back.

I hate bike cleaning as well. I think I've spent 2 hours this afternoon cleaning the bike, swapping the cans, cleaning and lubing the chain.
