    There seems to be a slight flaw in your plan.

    I have used these folks twice:
    http://www.gsmotorcycletyres.co.uk/

    Don't know if price is competitive but have been very happy with the
    service and they're in our area.

    Now that's progress...
    Given that Protyres prices (on their website) for Pilot Road 2s are the
    same as getting them fitted with the mobile fitter coming to my work, I
    think we have a winner!
    Given the mileage I do, and the PFF way I ride, they'll probably last
    several months in terms of legality of tread. The profile is fucked
    though and I'd like to get them done within a couple of weeks.

    S'pose. A bit.

    Maybe ukrm has killed it.

    It worked yesterday, and I've been on the phone to them in the past
    half hour, so I assume it's just a dodgy connection.

    Nothing that can't be worked around with a man-nappy and open faced
    helmet, you wuss.

    Solved the problem by getting V to phone the workshop and book it in.

    The inevitable happened when they started using words like "shim" but we
    got there in the end.

    d) buy your own tyre fitting kit and do it yourself (although c looks
    more tempting to me).

    I find them just as bad as anyone else (bristol branch).

    Pfft.

    Rode to the testing station with a new(ish) rear tyre on the rack,
    tester changed it for me (for a tenner) before the test, made me a
    coffee and still had time to take the piss before the ascribed 20
    minutes for 30 quid was up.

    Note to self: in future, consider that comparing prostitute's rates to
    those of Mot testers may be unwise if done before green chitty is in
    pocket.

    Doh!

    Quickest test i ever had was:

    Tester switches on ignition, shines headlight against the wall, left
    indicator, right indicator, brake, switch engine on, lock to lock,
    bounce forks, rock backwards and forwards, switch off, chitty.

    Paul.

    Ride bike to MOT centre, get off and walk into office, tell boss that
    I'm here for MOT, he says "There's no need to bring the fucking bike if
    you've checked it over, Loz - what's the reg and mileage?". Can't do
    them as quick nowadays with this new computerised system and snap
    inspections being carried out as you log into the system.
