I got charged today - £200 for a Metzler Z8 rear.
I was desparate - but that is taking the piss........
NEEDLESS TO SAY - i WONT BE GOING BACK!!!
Neil
:shocked: That's bloody horrendous.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
That's about the going rate for them down here in SA as well ( +- R 2 300.00 ). Set of PR3's about R 3 100.00.
Must add, the Z8 not popular down here.
Deon
Neil, was the tyre fitted here in the Lakes ?
Should be about £260 a pair, £300 fitted, the rear should be about £150 - ish plus fitting
+1 :eek: :eek: That is hideously overpriced ... they need :2guns:
OC - Yes the Yam dealer in town....... Errr. John Wren Motorcycles.
Burnt once....... Customer lost.
Neil
Which town? :popcorn:
Barrow in Furness - The Worlds Longest Cul-de-sac. ;-)
I'm gobsmacked, John isn't known for ripping folk off .....well I never :shocked:
If I'd known Neil I would have recommended Devonshire Service Station in Ulverston, but that's academic now the job has been done
Well, after tomorrow, I will know whether I'll be living in Ulverston! :-)
Looks like a great town. :-)
Neil
Ps. Perhaps he didn't intentially rip me off. It didn't seem that way, but I wasn't going to argue with him over price. :-(

He is actually a good 'old fashioned' engineer and a really nice bloke too, and I don't think he would intentionally rip you off, however that price is on the high side
So fingers crossed... I'll be moving into a house in Barrow, sometime between 10th and 18th May. On 11th May - Will be doing a motogymkhana Demo at the Cumbria bike show! :-)
Neil
Neil, its back on again then is it, the Cumbria bike show? I saw you there a couple of years ago but last year I think the show got pulled for whatever reason..
Not me I'm afraid. But yes apparently it's on... :-)
Neil
:oops: I thought it was you.
