Good to know about you and I'll be in touch soon ...
I also do a couple of days a week at Marriotts in Birkenhead. It's nice to be wanted
Hope it wasn't your goodself who lost his tools in the fire at Marriotts ? Tom's been fettling my bikes there
Just spoken with Ted, seems like a helpful chap. My 1100GS is booked in for a 24k service. MOT and general 'health check'. Will report back in due course.
So far so good. Ted has rung me back when he said he would do so, collected the bike on time at the agreed time, and texted me last night with the cost of the parts to check I was ok with it before he placed the parts order (so I'm not taken by surprise by the parts bill) even though I gave him a long list of the things I wanted doing.
Hi all. I'd like to introduce myself.
My name is Ted and I'm a Motorcycle Technician with nearly twenty years of experience in the trade. I've spent the last eight years with BMW where I gained my BMW service qualifications. I'm also fully IMI qualified and registered and I'm a current MOT tester.
Alongside all that, I am working with a local Kawasaki and Suzuki dealership as well as looking after some of my local blood bikers and Advanced riders.
I have parted company with my good friends at Motorrad to open up my own private 'By appointment only' workshop where I am servicing and repairing all makes and models. And of course, a lot of BMW's.
I have been working as a self employed BMW tech as a sideline for many years already but now that I have cut ties with the dealerships I'm 100% working solo.
My workshop is fully equipped and I am fully qualified and insured. I can stamp your book and I can turn off your service light. Your warranty is not compromised as I only use genuine parts. I have experience with all types of BMW's from R80s-1250's. Not many dealers even want to touch an oil-heads these days and I've not met a dealer tech in the last five years who even knew what a carburettor was; let alone how to balance one.
I build custom bikes so I'm not half bad with a TIG welder and I run a part time fabrication workshop also.
My labour rate is significantly less than a main dealer, I won't over-charge you on parts and I have the time and experience to give you a thorough and personal service. My work is not a 'Box Ticking exercise'.
From one biker to another... Face to face.
I am also a RTW rider. I have ridden most continents. I am an Adventure biker through and through.

The Last Post.
This is my 37 and I feel probably my “last Post” as I expect to be kicked off the site after I have said what I have to say, am not a massive contributor and my presents will not be missed in any way shape or form.
I was only trying to support the use of Independent workshops as there are many up and down the country doing a fantastic job, and I was only relaying what “BMW” told me.
I am very disappointed in the actions of “The Moderator” on this section, they have removed a valid discussion point and branded members opinions as “nonsense”.
The whole point of posts/threads etc is to discuss and who knows where they may lead, the action of removing comments just because you don’t like them is rather draconian.
My best wishers go out to Ted and all the best for a great future and to all the other hard working guys and girls in freezing workshops up and down the land.
