Information/Help for travelers

[PW Cymru]

In light of the difficulties that Andris and his partner experienced recently in a remote part of Wales's finest coastline, I thought it would be a good idea to gather a list of garage services dotted around the country that could in an emergency offer assistance/pick-up.

Motoradd Cardiff is the obvious one for South Wales he also has contacts for pick-up etc.

So looking for info on all county's in Wales.

This is not being posted to overide any assistance from individual Tosser's as individual assistance is always welcome.

If you have any recommendations please post.

I use Mike at Cardiff Motorrad too, for servicing & tyres.

I get my MOTs done at R.M Hockey & Son, Penpergwm, Abergavenny, Gwent NP7 9AT. Tel: 01873 840171 Yellow pages entry with map http://maps.yell.com/client/yell/?&...abergavenny&scrambleSeed=11899350&potential=0
They are primarily a motocross dealer but service road bikes too.

Thanks Wessie good start.

What I'm looking for is the garages known for BMW servicing around Wales for starters. Y Cymro AKA Trefor I believe in Ammonford e.g. if anybody wants to fill-in the details.

Are there any in the Pembroke area for example.

They have a recovery van service. Though not a specific BMW dealer, their mechanics are pretty good and they can sort bike recoveries within the region. So worth a call if stuck.

I still come back to my suggestion of a few years back that some sort of membership contact list would be very usefull to all of us on occasions. I for one have no objection to my location; Carmarthen and mobile number 07971 169189 being listed to help anyone in need in this neck on the woods. Also have a trailer for emergency recovery.

 

[slimbo]

plus tools and a knowledge of stuff!!
