    I have to acknowledge some pretty decent service from a garage I've never used until today.

    I'd to pick up some brake pads for a bike I'm working on for someone, I hadn't got the time to order online and got a recommend for this guys.

    (Normally I'd use Global in Santry but they're sadly gone out of business).

    I called into GP Motorcycles in Finglas (Dublin 11) for the brake pads ~ €48 for a set of front pads for an SV650k2.

    His visa machine wasn't working, and I'd no cash ~ He gave me the pads to take away and bring him back the cash tomorrow!!.

    The lad had never set eyes on me before, didn't ask for a small deposit, my name or phone number and sent me off with the product!.

    Now you can't say fairer than that!.

    Defo a man I'll go back to for business.

    I needed to brakes ASAP, so I didn't mind.

    I put them into my sons bike last night, and now he has brakes :D

    Back to Ebay & Aliexpress purchases for me now (new puncture repair kit on the way from Bulgaria lol).

    I know what that's like.

    Rear disk cracked on my BMW, I went to Joe Duffys (bastards) and was quoted €337 plus VAT.. Got it from Ali for €49 delivered to my door ~ pretty fooking sweet :P

    I'll be hated for this one.. Tried on a pair of boots recently priced at €199, before I had them taken off my son found them online for €99 lol, had them ordered before I got my arse off the seat lol.
