Be careful if you spend money at GT in Plymouth:

I have been giving the R6 a full strip down and service this weekend and decided that she needed some new spark plugs. I looked them up on the net and they cost £6.50 each. Not bad but I decided to pay the extra and buy them at a local dealer and therefore support local business.

Tried J&S but they didnt stock them.

Tried GT and they did have them so I took 4. Then when the guy behind the till asked me for £48 I told him to put them back on the shelf.

I then went to Hein Gerick in Plymouth and bought them for £7.99 each.

That a full £16 cheaper than GT and after postage it would only have been a couple of quid dearer than the net.

Be careful out there folks!

Crazy prices, but good you got them kinda cheap in the end, certainly pays to shop around.
