Yep, well pleased figaro, thought about naming and shaming the garage and leaving a few negative reviews as all his labour costs are greedy and he doesn't mention things took a lot longer than expected when calling to get paid! His work is to a good standard afaik and he'll only rip people off once (or twice if like me you were desperate to get something fixed quickly).
If it was on a Honda V4 I could understand, but I, as a complete amateur, can strip a Multistrada's entire exhaust system from the bike and seperate it into it's components in under ten minutes. More like five minutes.
Agreed, that's serious piss taking. Unless you are working at BL in the 70s during a time and motion study.
