A-may-zing! I went to pick up my 12S from Revs in Halesowen today. Got a lift from the station, coffee and a cake when I arrived and a pleasant chat. Front and rear shocks had been serviced but the rear needed new parts to fixed internal damage. I wondered if it would give me the bike I thought I wa...

There is money to be made from you visiting web sites, so there are databases of browsing information that is sold on to other companies. Prove that by looking at some high value item and see how long it takes for the big boys to start sending you recommendations of that item (fridge anyone). Even i...

I called Revs today to find out how my 12S is getting on. I can't pick it this weekend which is fortunate because it isn't ready yet. The front shock just needed a refresh and was basically OK. However, it seems the rear one was damaged internally by the ingress of dirt. He said it was in a bit of a...

I guessed it wasn't yours, as the nut is not painted matt black! I don't know why but your comment, Herb, has given me a fit of the giggles. I think I was primed for a good laugh because I have just watched this on the BBC news. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20614593 And I'm not sure if it i...

I'll have a look and see if I can find the bill for the rebuild at Revs. It was a couple of years ago it was done. I can't remember the price but it seemed worth buying used from eBay and getting it reconditioned, over buying new. Yes you can sent it to them and they'll post it back. I haven't asked...

P.S I know Halesowen isn't in Yorkshire. I'm just saying...

Did you have any specific problems that pointed you to tired suspension, or is it just miles covered? Mine have done 24k miles.

I dropped my 12s off to get the Ohlins overhalled today. I've used Revs of Halesowen. I came across them when I had an Aprilia and got an eBay shock serviced before fitting. I'm looking forward to having a transformed bike. I've been trying to dial out the low speed harshness all year but without su...

Visiting the Malvern area this week (by car) and seen some serious rain. Friday promised wall-to-wall sunshine so took the opportunity to walk the Malvern hills. Beautiful, stunning scenery! By mid afternoon we were watching a huge deluge slide menacingly to the north west of us; close enough to fee...

Anyone know of a good place in North Bucks, Northampton or Bedfordshire to get the Ohlins shocks serviced on my 12S? I used Revs near Brum before, and they are good, but it's a ways to go from MIlton Keynes area, especially if I have to leave the bike. Last time it was an eBay shock that I dropped o...

So I complained via their website and got a phone call the next day. It turns out it was a mistake...


...they hadn't put nitrogen in my tyres after all, just charged me for it (accidentally as you do). When I call into their depot, I can get my three pints of beer back. Woohoo!

I had to have 4 new tyres fitted to my car the other day, and I've just looked at the breakdown of the bill. £1.50 per tyre, including the spare I assume since it was 5 x, for nitrogen inflation. What the hell (pardon my French) use is pure nitrogen in ordinary car road tyres. I wouldn't even consid...

I was driving to the gliding club today, listening to a scientist talking about the Alan Turing legacy in modern computing. All went well until he said that human beings are not well designed to drive or fly aeroplanes and computers could do a far better job (maybe that is true but). So we should re...

We've boycotted them for a couple of years now because of the way they ignore the wishes of residents who don't want Tesco to take over their high street and put all the existing shops out of business. And we know several other folks who won't go near them. So it is odd the way they were belly achin...
