Bike mechanic needed

Post by CBR6Jade »

Hi, can anyone suggest a good garage to take a look at my bike after the accident. i didn't realise but the company that picked it up only store the bike. :evil:

also, can anyone suggest a place that i could keep it at low cost as this place is charging £12 + Vat a day :cry:

thanks

You are welcome to use the garage at my house to store/ fix it but it is in Honiton. Dunno if this helps. :shock: :D Hope you get it sorted soon.
